Warren new winner in Hornets, Giguere Remains Undefeated In Limited Late Models
BRADFORD, VT –Jordan Fornwalt® Bradford VT starting from the outside pole claimed the lead on lap three of their main event and looked poised to be on his way to his first win when lapped traffic gave veteran Chris Donnelly Orford NH the brake he needed. The break didn’t come until the last lap when coming out of turn two Donnelly made the lap traffic work to his advantage and snuck by Fornwalt crossing the line first. Fornwalt with his best performance finished 2nd and Josh Sunn Woodstock VT came home in third. Rounding out the top five were Justin “Cupcake” Comes in fourth and Troy Comeau in fifth.
Hometown driver Teddy Salomaa was challenged to repeat his win from last week and that is just what he did. Jeremy Beckley Woodsville NH was able to make his starting positon work for the first 26 laps sticking to the bottom with virtually no one in contention. Salomaa starting from the last quaifing spot suddenly found the groove he was looking on lap eight on the outside and set fire on the field. Salamaa would tick off twelve positions and on lap 26 set battle on Beckley. The remaining four laps saw the lead change back and forth between the two of them, and at the end it was Salamaa by a nose at the finish line. Following the two to victory lane was Terry Williams. The remaining top five sports went to Billy Simmons and your points leader Thomas Placey.
