Hudson NH – John Morin Jr. won his first Rookie Stock feature race of the 2010 Hudson Speedway racing season on Sunday May 16th in dramatic fashion. John Cashman led the early laps of the twenty lap feature until Keith ”Slika” Ennis took over the top spot. Ennis led the field for much of the race with heavy pressure from behind with two-time champion Scotty Duval right on his bumper. With laps winding down Ennis and Duval were still nose to tail, Morin Jr caught the top two and put his car in outside groove work past them. Just after clearing Ennis and coming to the starters stand to get the two to go, Morin Jr thought he saw starter Randy Christian waving the yellow flag and he lifted. Christian was simply holding the wrapped yellow flag while pointing down the track to a car slowing to go into the pits. By the time Morin Jr realized his mistake Ennis and Duval slipped back by on the inside. So Morin Jr. went back at it on the outside and got past both the top cars on the last lap for the win. Second through tenth were Ennis, Duval, Dean Wendell, Heath Toutelotte, Dan Murphy Jr., Cashman, Billy Clement Jr., Larry Fortin and Corrie Merritt.

Opening Day at Big Daddy’s Speedbowl
Opening Day, Spring Fling, or just Mother’s Day at the races; whatever
you choose to call it, the first day of business at Big Daddy’s
Speedbowl, the Burning Bush Homecenter night, was an interesting one.
The venue has been around since 1961 and was previously known as
Rattlesnake Motordrome, the Legion Speedway, The Pines, the Nor-Way
Pines, and the Legion Bowl. Since last October Mike “Big Daddy” Rivers
has been in charge and the 2010 season opened with a much different
facility than the 2009 closed with.
