Rookie TC Forward is the 8th different winner in the DIRTcar Bond Auto Parts Sportsman Modifieds.
Thomas Placey in the DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes and Hunter Garduno in the Hornets claim their 2nd wins.
BRADFORD, VT – Two rookies make it to victory lane in the DIRTcar Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds, as Forward comes home with the win and his best finish of the season, and DJ Robinson finishes third with his second victory lane appearance of the season on Perry Oil Service night.
Tyler Austin and DJ Robinson brought the full field of cars to the green for their 40 lap main event Saturday Perry Oil Service night. Austin would be unable to hold on to his prime starting position as the laps ticked off. Robinson on the other hand was able to hold off most of the challenges he encountered leading the first half of the race. He would find himself having to give up his pole position to Rookie TC Forward. Forward who worked his way from mid pack to the front found himself right where he has wanted to be all season as the laps ticked off, in no other position but first. Jason Gray coming from deep in the pack worked his way to second place, the only veteran driver in victory lane. Robinson was able to hold on for third when the checkers finally waved. Josh Currier and points leader Donnelly completed the top five.

Veterans win in series debut at historic New York track
SOUTH PLATTSBUGH, NY – The Northern Modified Challenge Series made an entertaining first appearance at Airborne Park Speedway on Saturday, July 26, running a pair of 30-lap feature races. Veteran drivers Leon Gonyo and Vince Quenneville, Jr., scored the victories, each posting his first victory on the Northern Modified Challenge Series.
Gonyo, of Chazy, NY, started on the pole position by virtue of a random draw in the opening feature. He led every lap, but found himself under nearly constant pressure from Jessey Mueller during the race. Mueller, who won the opening NMCS event of the season at Thunder Road in Barre, VT, made multiple attempts for the lead on the outside lane, settled for the runner-up position. Travis Bruno took third place, followed by Jason Durgan.

Polewarczyk, JR. Steals Seacoast 100 Win at Lee USA Speedway
Durham, NH- Joey Polewarczyk, JR. used a two-lap shootout to best point leader Larry Gelinas en route to grabbing his second career victory in the Granite State Pro Stock Series (GSPSS).
Newcomer to the GSPSS Bobby Nadeau led the field to green with Marston Mills, MA native Billy Brady to his outside. Nadeau proved he had a fast car, jumping out to a quick lead. The advantage would be wiped away as the first of 6 cautions flew for Russ Hersey’s spin in turn 3 on lap 14. On the restart, Nadeau would drift wide and collect Brady on the backstretch, ending both driver’s nights early. Larry Gelinas would inherit the lead, and be faced with American-Canadian Tour point leader Joey Polewarczyk, JR. to his outside. Gelinas would show his strength, as the pilot of the Watt’s Race Cars Cadillac would pull away from Polewarczyk, JR. until a caution for Steve “Danger” Dickey would negate the lead on lap 49. Gelinas would fend off Polewarczyk, JR. once more, and set a blistering pace as the duo would put multiple cars a lap down.
