BRADFORD, VT – Mother Nature tried and failed to wash out the show on Interstate Battery of Newmont/JTB Towing & Recovery Night, but promoter CV Elms wouldn’t have anything to do with it.

The Granite State Mini Sprints were on hand for their Lenny West Memorial Event. Twenty one cars took to the field in honor of Lenny West.

BRADFORD, VT – Three of the five events were recorded in the record books when rain descended on the track as the DIRTcar Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes were just a few laps into their main event. A huge fireworks display brought to the fans in part by Noise R Us Fireworks was set to go off after the regular racing show. A quick decision to park the Coupes and light up the skies before the rains washed out that as well was made. The rains lightened and the best fireworks show in New England was the closing excitement of the Dennis Preston Builder sponsored night.
