BRADFORD, VT – The annual Bond Auto Parts 4th of July spectacular with Modified Madness provided the packed house with over 200 laps of racing excitement Saturday night June 28, 2014. The DIRTcar Bond Auto Parts racing over 100 laps for their biggest purse of the season of over $9,000.00.
The drivers brought in over 200 sponsored laps for their double points madness night in the DIRTcar Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds. Starting the first segment on the pole with his most laps collected status was Jason Gray, with Chris Donnelly Orford NH alongside. When the checkers waved on segment one Donnelly was the winner with Gray in second. From the first segment 21 of the 25 cars would be inverted for the second segment line up with the additional three completing the field. Tim Hodge being the unlucky finisher in segment one was able to capitalize on his then pole position in segment two and capture a huge chuck of the lap money for the segment and come home the winner. Segment three was Gary Siemons and Ryan Christian Canaan NH to set the pace on the field. Siemons led a majority of segment three until late in the event when Christian was able to capitalize on a bobble by Siemons and take over the lead. Christian in only his sixth outing in the mighty mods was able to survive two restarts to claim the final segment win. When the final results were tallied Chris Donnelly was declared the overall winner with Derek Barker in second and Adam Pierson in third. Rounding out the top five were Mike Gendron and Kevin Chaffee.
