WINCHESTER, N.H. – Jimmy Zellman stole the show Saturday on the high banks of Monadnock Speedway, passing four cars at the south end of the track with the awaiting checkers in the air to win a thrilling 50-lap Pure Stock main event.
With more than 80 teams packing the pits and a huge early season crowd on hand, Zellman was one of five different drivers winning their first event of the year Saturday at the historic quarter-mile, but none with the thrills that Zellman provided.
Qualifying out of the consi, the Greenfield, Mass. hot shoe started deep, deep, deep in the 24-car field and charged forward to lead only the final 200 feet of the 50-lap main and earn the $1,000 winner’s purse.
Modified ace Tyler Leary scored a huge win Saturday on the high banks of Monadnock Speedway, topping the 75-lap Todd Martell Memorial Modified main event ahead of a deep field of open-wheel strongmen.
On a hoodies-up night when hot cocoa was much more in fashion than icecream that have long been a staple at the Winchester quarter-mile, the Hatfield, Mass. star was red hot, leading the last 36 laps en route to the big win.
Other winners on the first Saturday of May at Monadnock included JD Stockwell, who won a thriller in the Limited Late Model feature, Carlos Grenier, who was first under the checkers in the Pure Stocks, Randy Clark, victorious in the Pro 4 Modifieds, and Dylan Stati, who scored his first win ever in the Young Guns.
Open-wheel ace Nathan Wenzel strutted the stuff that made him both a speedway and New Hampshire state Modified champion Saturday at Monadnock Speedway, topping the season opening main event at the high-banked speedplant.
Reigning Limited Late Model track champion Dylan Zullo is already in the running for what may be the summer’s most exciting victory at the historic quarter-mile oval.
With a huge crowd braving the chilly April temperatures, six drivers started their season with a flourish, each earning the first victory lap of the new season in their respective division. Along with Wenzel and Zullo, long-ago Mini Stock champ Kevin Clayton, Pure Stock hot shoe Jimmy Zellman, Pro V8 Sportsman pilot Chris Kingsley and Young Gun speedster Sofia Rego each went home victorious.
