WINCHESTER, NH – Adam Norton, Eddie Brehio III, Mike Stebbins, Joe Ethier, and Kyle Boniface won the battles Saturday, Sept. 14, at Monadnock Speedway. But of the quintet of feature winner, only Brehio achieved the ultimate conquest of winning his division’s season championship.
While Norton earned his fifth victory of the summer in the blockbuster Sportsman Modified division, Bill Kimball was content to hold his position further back and lock up his third speedway championship. Likewise in the Mini Stock main event, where Mike Stebbins rocketed to his fourth win of the season, with Beth Adams following him under the checkers to earn her first track title.
Ed Lofland copped the 2013 Thunder Stock championship with a risky strategy, but one that paid off. While Joe Ethier earned his first victory of the season, Lofland was content to ride in third, tying Ethier in points, but grabbing the title on a tiebreaker, outnumbering the night’s winner in feature victories by a five-to-one margin.

No fewer than four 2013 NASCAR Whelen All-American Racing Series division titles will be decided Saturday, Sept. 14, when Monadnock Speedway hosts its final NASCAR points event of the season.
Bill Kimball, Beth Adams, Chris Davis, and Ed Lofland all lead their respective division entering the points finale, but none of them have the top prize in the bag going into Saturday’s event.
Only Super Stock ace Ed Brehio III has a lock on his division’s title; that aided by a Saturday, September 7, rainout that ensured the third generation driver the championship, while, at the same time, taking two-time defending titlist John Lavoie’s last chance at a threepeat away.
