The Fairlee Flyer Kevin Chaffee wins two out of three in the USAC DMA Midgets, DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds and Sprint Cars of New England features
BRADFORD, VT – Don’t blink because you may not see the Fairlee Flyer as he flies thru the pits to his next event. “Fairlee Flyer” Kevin Chaffee, Bradford VT was a mere two positions short of making it a triple crown, competing in not one, not two, but three divisions winning two of the events and finish third in the other. Having gotten the warm up feature in the Midgets under his belt, Chaffee took to the ¼ mile clay oval in his Bond Auto DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds sitting midpack of the full field of machines. Chaffee not in too much of a hurry worked his way methodically thru the pack, also taking advantage of the field being regrouped after a couple of cautions, to the front of the field. Michael Currier Newport NH started on point and looked to be headed for his first win of the season, surviving the bloody hounds on the restarts, but was not able to hold off the flyer as by lap 33 Chaffee said here I am and see ya later. Currier was able to hold on for the bridesmaid position for the night defending his spot from Jason Gray E Thetford VT who simply ran out of time to pick his way by Currier and set a challenge on Chaffee. At the checkers that is how the three would cross, as Chaffee made his second visit to victory lane for evening. Completing the top five were TC Forward and DJ Robinson, both with two of their better finishes for the season. Chaffee is the first repeat winner in the Bond Auto DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds for the 2015 season. Claiming the Blackmount semi feature win was DJ Robinson his second of the year.
