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.

WINCHESTER, NH – Modified hot shoe Justin Bonsignore took home the lion’s share of the gold Saturday, July 27, night at Monadnock Speedway, dominating the 200-lap NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour main event presented by Town Fair Tire.
But while Bonsignore’s star shone brightest in front of the capacity crowd, he was one of four different drivers to score career-first feature wins at the high-banked speedplant on the busy eight-division racing card.
Cole Littlewood earned his first-ever victory lap, winning the night’s Young Guns event. Thunder Stocker Bryan Town made his first outing on the high banks a memorable one, topping his division’s 30-lapper; and Champ Kart strongman Juris Kupris made his ride from New York City worthwhile by winning his feature event.
Other winners Saturday at New England’s fastest high-banked quarter mile included Super Stock powerhouse John Lavoie, who scored his fourth win of the summer; Sportsman Modified rookie sensation Steve Fifield, victorious for the second time this season; Mini Stock strongman Mike Stebbins, winner of his third feature event of the summer; and Lightning Stock points leader Chris Davis, who gobbled up the field to score his third win this year.

Saturday’s ‘IWK 250’ pro stock race at Riverside Speedway, Nova Scotia.

The Legion Speedway in Wentworth, NH was visited by the SCoNE (Sprint Cars of New England) tour on Sunday, July 21. It was part of their Twin-State Championship series that includes the Canaan USA Speedway and Bradford VT’s Bear Ridge Speedway. The evening’s racing was sponsored by Route 118 Automotive and Trevor Rocke Auto Body.
Veteran Modified driver Rick Martel (#28) was recently given the opportunity to move up to sprint cars this year. He has taken full advantage of the chance. Starting from pole position he led every lap of a caution-free 25-lap feature. That simple statistic does nothing to express how hard he had to work for the win. Series veteran “Dangerous” Dan Douville (#7) came from deep in the field to second place, and nearly stole the win on the final corner. SCoNE points leader Chris Donnelly (#17) held off teammate Tyler Rich (#20) to take third.
