Monadnock Speedway Results
By Dan Byrne
WINCHESTER—The racing revved up once again and there was a rumble of thunder on the mountain last Saturday night at Monadnock Speedway for a night of double features. The STAR Antiques were also on hand to give everyone a good show.
The features on June 20th were washed out by rain and last Saturday the Thunder Stocks, Super Stocks and Sportsman Mod features were made up as part of a double feature night.
Thunder Stocks led off the night with their first feature, June 20th make up, which saw defending champion and current points leader Marshall Usher take home the win followed by Paul Barnard in second. David Greenslit is looking to take a run at the points championship this season, he finished third in the first feature but we would see a lot more of the bright green #20 machine later in the evening.
Chris Lawrence just missed out on the podium finish as he crossed the line 4th. Rookie Richard Vincent wheeled the #4 car around to a top 5 with a 5th place finish.

Derek Griffith Continues His Breakout Season, Earns Win at White Mountain Motorsports Park
NORTH WOODSTOCK, NH – Derek Griffith becomes the only driver to win four races in one season, after the Hudson, NH driver picked up the victory at White Mountain Motorsports Park.
Dillon Moltz jumped ahead of the field on the drop of the green flag until lap 11, when Mike Parks caught the berm of the new pavement, screeching to a halt before touching the front stretch wall. Moltz would see Griffith alongside his door on the restart, but won the battle, retaining the lead. Griffith stayed within striking distance, and took the lead on lap 44.
After an incident involving Barry Gray and Nick Sweet on lap 57, Griffith would engage in battle with Moltz on the restart once more. Griffith would win the battle, and put on a blistering pace to capture the win.

A Look Ahead to “Friday Night Lights” at Lee USA Speedway
LEE, NH – As the North East Street Stock Tour returns to Lee USA Speedway for “Friday Night Lights”, presented by the Gobbi Corporation, on July 31, two drivers look to the event from different ends of the spectrum.
Geoff Rollins is in mid-stride, after picking up the win in the Christmas in July event at Monadnock Speedway on July 11, and looks to continue his success at another of his home tracks, Lee USA Speedway. Rollins is currently second in points in the Late Model Sportsman at the track, and finished second in the exhibition event for the North East Street Stock Tour (NESST), back in May.
Rollins will be running his familiar orange #02 car in his return home, and is confident in the change, saying “We are piloting our own car that’s orange and has a 02, and anything orange goes faster. I have won a 50 lapper here with this car. We put this new car together in two weeks, but it doesn’t scare me at all.”
