WINCHESTER, NH – Tyler Janovsky and Michael McGoldrick III each did it for the first time ever Saturday, August 3, at Monadnock Speedway, while Barry Gray added to his long list of conquests at the high-banked speedplant.
Gray, McGoldrick, and Janovsky each took a victory lap at the fast quarter-mile, as did Sportsman Modified feature winner Tyler Jarvenpaa, Super Stock victor Dave Striebel, and Mini Stock strongman Chris McTaggart.
The Granite State Pro Stock Series 100-lapper was Mike Parks’ to lose. Starting on the pole the veteran wheelsman held off Larry Gelinas and Barry Gray for 78 laps, until a momentary bobble on a restart allowed Gray to speed by and then run out the race from the point.
Gray took second from Gelinas on lap 30 and the potent trio then played high-speed bumper tag until the third of three late-70s cautions set up the only lead change of the event. With Gray adding to his long list of Monadnock feature wins, Parks was rock solid as he earned the runner-up finish with Gelinas glued to his bumper as the top three took the checkers under a blanket.

WINCHESTER, NH- Barry Gray from Belchertown, Mass., did everything he could to make a clean pass on race leader Mike Parks, but it wasn’t until Parks spun his tires on a lap 79 restart that Gray was able to take the lead and win the Granite State Pro Stock Series JBH Memorial 100 on Saturday night at the Monadnock (N.H.) Speedway.
“There are a lot of strong cars in this division,” Gray said in victory lane. “When you win a race doing this it’s a real good deal. My hats off to my crew. I want to thank Monadnock Speedway. It’s nice that the Pro Stocks have a place to go.”
Parks and Jake Vanada led the 20 car field to the initial green, with Parks getting out front first. Gray started the race in the fourth position, and it took him until lap 30 to pass Larry Gelinas for the second spot.
