With double points on the line, the racing was aggressive as everyone fought for that extra point. Surviving an early caution, driving away with no damage Derek Graham worked his way from the back to the front and with only a lap to go claimed the 3rd place victory lane spot, and the 2017 championship. While Graham was working his way to the front Ryan Christian starting from what he likes to call his sweet spot, about a third of the way thru the field, quickly worked his way to the front to take the lead and hold on to claim the win. Joining the pair of tens was the 73 of Kevin Chaffee with his best finish in 2017. Wayne Stearns the one who succumbed to Graham on the last lap crossed the line in fourth with Robert Tucker crossing in fifth.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the Wells River Chevrolet DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes Brian Chaffee just needs to show up and take the green next week to claim his crown as champion. Hoping to win the event he would end up crossing the line in fourth behind Rookie Tanner Siemons who claimed his second win of the season. Jason Colbeth and Earl Maxham joined Siemons in victory lane in that order, and Jason Horniac completed the top five.<\/p>\n<p>The Laquerre\u2019s Sports USAC DMA Midgets were off and will return next week 9\/23 for action.<\/p>\n<p>The C.A. Miller Limited Late Models crowned their 2017 track champion as Wayland Childs set fast time, and after the redraw would have to start in fourth. With Ryan Christian starting on pole he only had to keep him within arm\u2019s length to secure the championship. Christian would end the season in style getting his tenth win of the season making him the winningest driver in 2017 at the Ridge. Unfortunately, his one bad night would take away his chance of the championship leaving him to have to settle for the brides maid position in points. Bryan Campbell crossed the line in second and Childs claimed the final victory lane spot coming home in third. Kelly Miller Sr and Kevin Dickinson completed the top five.<\/p>\n<p>It was Jesse Durkee\u2019s year in the Weglarz Property Service Four Cylinders as he dominated for most of the season. He took the point lead early continued to build up his point lead. He would cap the year with a feature win as he crossed the line first, with Buddy Welch and Jason Porter joining him. Kelly Miller and Rodney Davis rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n<p>The Granite State Mini Sprints were on hand for their last event of the 2017 season at the Ridge. In the 500cc\u2019s Riley Chaffee takes home the win with William Pinkham and Kyle Pittman joining him in victory lane. Matt Calley and Ryan Farewell completed the top five. In the 600cc\u2019s Kevin Heath grabs the win over Kyle Belliveau and Drew Eldridge.
