Jesse Melberg of Taunton picked up his fourth Fast Friday Pure Stock victory tonight at Seekonk Speedway. The current points leader started deep in the field, and picked off cars one by one on his way to the front. Ian Savard of N. Attleboro jumped out front and set the pace for the fourteen laps until a caution came out. On the restart, Melberg out powered Savard and went on his way to the win. Doug Benoit crossed the line in second, with Jamie Salley, John Robidoux and Savard rounding out the top five.
In the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends, it appeared Nick Ladyga’ s perfect run for the season would continue, as he moved through the field and passed Nick Lascoula for the lead on lap 10, and pulled away from the field. Nick Lascoula held a comfortable lead before a restart closed up the field. With Lascoula out front, Shaun Buffington moved past Lascoula for second. A late race caution bunched up the field again, and Buffington of Plainfield CT was able to keep pace with the Voluntown, CT driver, and with a slight push in turn one with three laps remaining, slid underneath and held the three time winner at bay. Tom Grey wound up third, followed by Lascoula and Jordan LaMothe. (more…)
St-Croix – Quebec City’s Jean Francois Dery dominated the field on the way to his second victory in a row in the Riverside 150 at Circuit Riverside Speedway in St-Croix, QC on Saturday, July 14.

Trepanier battled back on the inside lane on lap 35, reclaiming the lead for eight more laps, until a lap 44 restart brought Dery to the front row once again. Dery took off once again on the restart, leading until Trepanier took the lead for good on lap 54. (more…)
