Tom Scully Jr, Anthony Nocella, Gerry DeGasparre, Mike Mitchell and Mike Cavallaro are 2013 DAV winners at Seekonk.
Tom Scully Jr picked up his second DAV Fall Classic win on Saturday, holding off a hard charging Derek Ramstrom over the final laps. Kevin Folan and Ken Spencer raced wheel to wheel for the lead, with Spencer edging out Folan at the line on the 3rd lap. As the field headed into turn one, Dave Hutchins spun high in the turn. It looked like it would be a single car incident until Mike Brightman, Dave Darling and Dave Silvia made contact, eliminating all at the time. Silvia returned many laps behind.
Spencer took control and set the pace for the next dozen laps with some pressure from Scully. Spencer held on through a pair of restarts, but couldn’t hold off the Wheelock’s NAPA Auto Group Ford as on the sixteenth circuit, Scully moved past and into the lead. By the quarter-mark, Scully held a several length lead over Spencer, Larry Gelinas, Craig Weinstein and Derek Ramstrom.

WISCASSET SPEEDWAY ENDS BANNER YEAR WITH FALL FURY
By Lisa Maguire
Fall Fury at Wiscasset Speedway was held last Saturday. Fall Fury was the last day of the racing season at Wiscasset Speedway. It was a nice crisp day, and although rain threatened initially, the weather was clear for the day. On the agenda at the Speedway were all eight racing divisions: New England 4-Cylinder Prostock, Mini Trucks, Thunder 4’s, Outlaw Mini, Strictly Street, Super Stock, Late Model Sportsman, and Prostock. Also racing Saturday were all divisions of the Wicked Good Vintage Racers, and the Amsoil Nelcar Legends. The flex race of the week was a one hundred lap Enduro.
First on the track were the New England 4-Cylinder Prostock race cars. This twenty lap feature was caution free and drivers sped to the finish. Starting in the pole position was the No. 54 of Kamren Knowles. Behind him were the No. 38 of Ryan Hayes and Travis Dunbar of the No. 6. When the green flag went down, Hayes pulled ahead on the front stretch and took the lead. The No. 24 of Jeff Prindall shot from the very back of the pack from the outside and took third place from Dunbar.
