American Canadian Tour
In what can only be described as a dominant performance, Eddie MacDonald won the American Canadian Tour’s Central Asphalt Paving Generation Next 151 race on Saturday, June 18 at Speedway 51 in Groveton, N.H. to capture his second win of the season. On Friday night, the Grimm Construction Chevy struggled with a very loose racecar to post a 13th place finish in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, Connecticut.
After a hard crashed at Waterford Speedbowl a few weeks ago that required a new front clip on the Freddie Peterson owned EXIT Realty/Hancock Electric Motor Service Chevy, Eddie Mac and the crew were unsure how the car would respond in its first outing after being essentially rebuilt. They were quite pleased with the result as the “The Outlaw” posted the fastest time in practice and started seventh in the 150 lap event on the quarter mile oval.

Rookie Sontag Claims First Sportsman Modified Win
This past Saturday night brought nine feature events at Monadnock Speedway. The night included the NEMA Iron Mike Memorial Race, Pro 4 Modifieds and the speedway’s weekly divisions.
The Young Guns feature was lead out by Chase Curtis with Devin Guy on his outside. On the green Alex Barden took over fourth position, but that wasn’t long lived when Jaret Curtis took back fourth leaving Barden back in fifth on lap 6. The first caution came out when Isabella Minchella crossed traffic on the front stretch and hit the wall. On the restart Chase Curtis still had the lead with Devin Guy right behind him, but it didn’t take long for Shelby Avery to take over the second position and one lap later bounced off the wall and took Barden with her. When it was all sorted out the race ended with the top five finishers Chase Curtis, Devin Guy, Jaret Curtis, Mariah Stebbins and Colby Lambert.

Lee, NH -Fans at Lee USA Speedway were treated to a full program of racing action on Friday night, with the throwback racecars of the Senior Tour Auto Racers (STAR) and the Northeast Classic Lites on hand to join the NASCAR Whelen All American Series season weekly divisions for a full night of entertainment on the fast 3/8ths mile oval.
Veteran Classic Lites racer Ed Gilman of nearby Sandown took his first career Lee USA checkered flag, taking the lead from defending champion Eric Skofield of Plaistow halfway through the main event. Tom “Hulk” Harton of Barnstead challenged Gilman the rest of the way, but “Fast Eddie” held on to post the win.
The Gilman family have been strong supporters of both Lee USA and the Northeast Classic Lites for years, and after eight seasons and dozens of races trying, the winner’s circle interview showed that Gilman was clearly thrilled that he finally made his way to victory lane at “New Hampshire’s Center of Speed“.
