WINCHESTER—Racing resumed on Saturday at the Monadnock Speedway as the weeks in the season roll by. With just 2 weeks remaining, next weeks’ events will determine the final point standings of the NASCAR Whelen All-American divisions. This past week the skies were threatening all day, but credit the race crew for getting things ready in a timely manner as the green flag dropped at 6PM.
The heats all went off without a hitch, making for some fun, exciting racing. The New England Champ Kart series was there with a few of their drivers putting on a fun show for the crowd.
With the skies looking ominous after the heats, they wasted no time getting the Young Guns out on the track for their feature.

Washout for Eddie MacDonald at Richmond in the K&N
Eddie MacDonald not only battled with the weather in the K&N Pro Series East’s UNOH 100 at Richmond international Raceway on Thursday, September 10, he also struggled with a loose car for the entire race. The checkered/yellow flag waved on lap 70 of the scheduled 100 lap event for rain with the Grimm Construction Chevy scored in the 19th position.
Earlier in the day qualifying was rained out with five cars in the 35 car field left on pit lane unable to take time due to the thunderstorm raging through the track. Eddie Mac had qualified and was in the 12th when the rains came. The field was set by points forcing Eddie Mac to start 21st on the grid. The team only runs a part-time schedule. The scheduled 6:40 start was pushed back until the Air Titans dried the track so the UNOH 100 could get under way at 7:50. The Xfinity practice scheduled after qualifying was also rained out.
