Kenny Spencer breaks 2 year winless drought in Pro Stock Action. Jeramee Lillie wins 3rd LM feature. Gerard Berthelette picked up first Sam’s Club Street Stock win. Lenny Guy grabs first Sport Truck win.
Kenny Spencer of Taunton jumped out front on the opening lap of the 40 lap Pro Stock feature and never looked back as he picked up his first win in over 18 months at Seekonk Speedway.

Ryan Vanasse was working the outside lane, and moved into the third spot on a lap eight caution, and started to challenge Casper for second, but started to slide back on the outside, but settled in and followed the lead duo until Dick Houlihan slid underneath and took over the third position. On the final restart, Houlihan moved underneath Casper and moved into second. (more…)

Devil’s Bowl Speedway will be the site of the first Vermont State Late Model Championship Series celebration in a quarter-century on Sunday, September 16.
