The drawing was over and the positions were set, the 21 Legends Cars took to the track under the setting sun for their feature event.

Eddie MacDonald and the Grimm Racing team rebounded from a blown motor in practice on Thursday for the K&N Pro Series East New England 125 at NHMS but could not overcome a late race penalty to finish in ninth place on Friday. The NEMO-New England Mechanical Overlay Chevy ran in the fourth position when a lap 78 caution gave MacDonald the opportunity to pit for four new tires and return to the track as the last car on the lead lap. When the green flag waved, MacDonald was penalized for an improper line-up forcing a drive- through penalty. The Grimm Construction Chevy returned to the track
in the 28th position one lap down. The #71 quickly passed the leader Brett Moffitt to get the lap back and began a charge to the front but ran out of laps.

win. Stoehr spent the early part of his racing career campaigning a Late
Model at Lee, which made the win doubly sweet.
Stoehr took the lead on lap two, and was never seriously challenged on the
way to his first feature event win of the 2011 season. Jeremy Frankoski,
Jeff Abold, defending NEMA champ and Greg’s brother Russ Stoehr, and Anthony

Hudson N.H. – Jared Soucy picked up his third Thunder Light feature win of the 2011 racing season this
past Sunday evening at Hudson International Speedway. Carlos Esquivel brought the field to the drop
of the green flag and led the first three laps of the caution free event. Soucy took over at that point and
Justin Beecher followed Soucy past Esquivel into second place. Soucy and Beecher waged a side by side
battle for the lead eventually being joined by Chad Wendell to make it a three way battle. With Beecher
and Wendell battling for second it took a little pressure off Soucy and he was able to cross the finish line
a few car lengths ahead of Beecher in second place and Wendell in third place. Meegan Lord was fourth
followed by Esquivel and Mike Erickson Jr. Beecher won the heat.
