Earl Curtin inherits Pure Stock Phil’s Propane Triple Crown win. Tyler Boudreau and Joey Lembo break through. Lascoula and Rolando win.
Earl Curtin III inherited the Phil’s Propane Triple Crown win after apparent winner Jesse Melberg failed post-race tech. Danny Massa led the first lap before Jay Fortin took over at the top of the leader board. Fortin set the pace until the tenth circuit when Curtin took over the lead.
With a dozen laps remaining, Melberg, who started ninth, worked his way to the outside and wrestled the lead away from Curtin. As the laps wore down, last week’s winner, John Robidoux closed in on Curtin, and over the final half dozen laps, the pair raced side by side, swapping the eventual winner’s position back and forth. Curtin held on by a nose, with Ed Flanagan, Jamie Salley and Dan Massa fourth and fifth.
