Mike Ryan is back in victory lane in a big way grabbing the win in the Sabil & Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds. Only one caution would slow the pace when the 6 time track champion Jason Gray finds himself pit side, done for the night. Grays run for his seventh consecutive track championship isn’t starting out as well as he had hoped. Ryan was able to get the jump on the restart and hold on until the checkers waved beating Richie Simmons and Jeremy Huntoon, both with their best finishes of the season. Thomas Placey and Owen Brown rounded out the top five.

The Sabil & Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds were host to the VP Racing Fuels DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds for their Eastern Region series event. Unfavorable weather conditions for tracks around the region afforded the opportunity for several competitors to make the trek to the Ridge for the second event of the series. An old name at the Ridge the son of Joey Scarborough was one of those visitors. Scarborough would set fast time in his time hot laps group, win his heat and have the right redraw of the night, grabbing the pole for the 40 lap main, for the field of twenty nine cars. Scarborough would survive a couple of early cautions before the field settled down to some great racing, and be able to capitalize on lapped cars to keep Martin Lessard of Canada at bay for the win. Bear Ridges first regular competitor to cross the line was Robert Tucker who takes home the final victory lane spot. The Ridges own Max Dolliver and Jeremy Huntoon rounded out the top five. We wish to thank all the competitors who helped make this show a great event, and DIRTcar for allowing us the opportunity to host.
Week two of the 59th consecutive season of racing at the Ridge provided some wild action for the fans. Rob Williams gets his first win in the Wells River Chevrolet DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes, and Nick Fretto does the same in the Xtreme DIRTcar DMA Midgets.
