BearRidgeLogoFMR Racing’s Adam Pierson Takes Win in USAC DMA Race at Bear Ridge Speedway

Ellington, CT: FMR Racing teams have been tough to beat this year at Bear Ridge Speedway and Adam Pierson in the 76M showed that the team is ready to take the championship with a win this past Saturday night.

Heat race one had New England racing veteran Ray Miller in the 1W on pole followed by the 4 of Kevin Chaffee. The race went green and by the end of lap one Chaffee in the 4 took over the lead pushing the 1W of Miller back to second. By the time the field came back around for lap two, the 67 of Josh Sunn was leading with the 4 of Chaffee now in second and Miller in his black 1W back to third. Sunn, in his FMR Racing 67 midget, would take command of the race and lead the field. From second on back the fight was on for position with changes going on each lap. The 47 of Scott Holcomb and the 4 of Chaffee swapped position for several laps to keep second and third place interesting as to who would prevail. After starting last on the field and marching forward with each lap, the 76M of Adam Pierson had moved into second place with one to go which moved the 47 of Holcomb back to third. In the end after eight green flag laps it would be FMR Racing teammates taking first and second with Josh Sunn of White River Junction, VT getting the win, the 76M of Adam Pierson in second followed by the 47 of Scott Holcomb for third.
