Plenty of fans and teams joined in to start their Memorial Day Weekend with a Saturday night showdown at White Mountain Motorsports Park. After struggling with a fuel issue in her heat race, Chloe Doyle kept pace with the front of the Dad’s 4 By Tool & Supply Kids Division as Makenzi Sicard and heat winner Khloe Goodbout followed close behind. Cooper Benoit and Gracen Gorham made it a five-way fight for the top spot until Gorham, Sicard and Goodbout were collected in turn four to bring out the lone caution for a green-white-checker finish. In the finale, Chloe Doyle took down her first feature win at White Mountain over Benoit and Evan Folsom.
The two-wide stronghold broke apart by lap five in the 35-lap The Farmyard Store Flying Tiger feature with Nate Hamblett driving away with the lead as Owen Cheney and Shane Sicard gave chase. Sicard faced a mirror full of Kyle Willis with Willis motoring to the outside groove. Nate Hamblett would take down the win just ahead of Cheney at the line while a side-by-side battle for third saw Kyle Willis just edge Luke Peters for the third-place podium spot.
WINCHESTER, N,H. Joey Jarvis survived a slugfest to win his first Modified feature of the summer Saturday at Monadnock Speedway. The second generation Vermont pilot accomplished the feat by sitting in the best seat in the house, the pole, from where he was immune to the wildness behind him.
Jarvis was one of five first time 2026 winners on the high banks of the fast quarter mile. Justin Beecher, in house for the night’s special R&R Open Street Stock show, duplicated his victory of the same event a summer ago, and reigning speedway Mini Stock champ John Fultz picked up where he left off last September.
In the Pure Stocks, red hot rookie Josh Brigham scored the first win of his career. New England Dwarf Car pilot Ryan Carman scored his first career victory on the high banks, and then there was 11-year-old Dylan Stati.
The Lee USA Speedway weekly track championship series kicked off on Friday night with a five division showdown. Starting the evening were the Tri-City Lining Street Stocks for their season debut. A three-way wreck at the start/finish line ended the night early for Connor McDougal while Austin Erickson and Dave Cameron piled in for a rough opening lap. Back under green, Jimmy Renfrew Jr. ran away with the opening day win over Jason Curtis and Erickson who made it back up to third in the end.
The 350 Supermodifieds returned for the first of several planned visits this summer with a 40-lap main event. Ben Tinker showed the way throughout the first 25 laps but had one car on his tail the whole time. On lap 26 the #10 of Ben Seitz finally made his way around Tinker’s #19 and never looked back to take the win with Justin Harris following Tinker across the line for third.
