Mini Stock Point Leader Davis in Victory Lane
Winchester, NH Thanks for the memories as the 2nd annual Heroes of Yester-Year, Ford of Brattleboro open track party allowed fans and competitors from today and the past to mingle. Drivers gave out candy, and signed autographs, but most of all took time out to thank their fans of all ages. Some of us finally had our chance to meet our heroes from the past and talk about how racing has changed, and how some things will never change.
Young Guns (our future stars) showed how more seat time is making for stiffer competition. On lap nine Adam Manley went spinning through the infield and the #88 for Hilary Renuad and Cordel Colon got together. All were able to get back onto the track and this feature was run caution free. Joe Boivin would take down the win followed by Matt Parmenter and JT Cloutier.
