By Ryan Lawliss
Winchester, NH: After a two week layoff due to Mother Nature and the scheduled mid-summer NASCAR break Monadnock Speedway was back in action this past Saturday night with the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series in action with the Young Guns, Granite State Legends and Bandoleros as well. Early the weather looked great but just as the first feature was wrapping up in victory lane Mother Nature tried to win the night, but thanks to the efforts of the track crew, numerous drivers and race teams after a roughly hour and a half rain delay racing action resumed and those fans that stuck it out were rewarded with some of the best finishes of the season. Giovanni Ruggiero took down the win in the Bandoleros and Shaun Buffington took the win in the Legends feature. Ed Lofland (Thunder Stocks) and Nathan Wenzel (Young Guns) returned to victory lane; while Cole Littlewood (Super Stocks), Brian Chapin (Sportsman Modifieds), and Louis Maher (Mini Stocks) captured their first wins of the season.
