Defending Pure Stock Champion Jesse Melberg picked up his first win of the season since kicking off his title defense on May 5th.

Once back under way, Bill Doyle snuck under John for second on the following lap, but slid back, allowing Flanagan back into third. By the half-way point, Melberg, using the outside lane, moved into third, then slid past Robidoux for second.

Stone Untouchable, Masterson Breaks Through at Devil’s Bowl Mid-Season Championship
Gordon, LaVair take double-points victories
WEST HAVEN, VT – NASCAR Whelen All-American Series stock car driver Todd Stone got one for the thumb on Friday, July 12, dominating the Bond Auto Parts Modified feature at the double-points Rutland Herald Mid-Season Championships at Devil’s Bowl Speedway. The Middlebury, VT driver was seemingly in his own league during the 35-lap race, taking his fifth victory in nine starts on the year.
Stone needed just six laps to shoot from his 10th starting position into the lead and easily distanced himself from the field. He withstood three restarts alongside Hunter Bates, also of Middlebury, VT, en route to the win. Bates was second at the finish. Leon Gonyo of Chazy, NY won a heated battle for third place, besting Jessey Mueller of Olmstedville, NY and Vince Quenneville, Jr., of Brandon, VT.
With point values doubled for all preliminary and feature races on the night, Stone earned 100 points for his feature victory but stretched his overall championship lead by only six points. Bates made a major gain by winning the Sunoco Race Fuels Semi-Feature – a race which Stone failed to qualify for – taking 20 bonus points for that victory. Bates now trails Stone by only 35 points (591-556), cutting his previous deficit by nearly half.
