Hudson N.H. – Two time Rookie Stock champion Scotty Duval won his first feature of the 2011 racing
season in the Rookie Stocks at Hudson International Speedway this past Sunday June 26th.
Duval started on the outside pole and got past pole sitter Roger Tangauy in the opening laps.
Duval had a rear bumper full of Corrie Merritt for most of the race and held off multiple challenges from
Merritt. A caution with three laps remaining tightened the field for a restart. After the restart Duval
retained the lead and Jerry Lepage got by Merritt and knocked on Duvals bumper but wasn’t able to
make a pass and had to settle for second place. Third through tenth were Merritt, Bill Heliwell, John
Morin Jr., Dave Heliwell, Dan Murphy Jr., Charles Roberto, Roger Tanguay and Mike Mchugh. Bill
Heliwell and Merritt won the heats. Slika Ennis finished last in the feature. (more…)
