Kendall Conquers Mini Stock Conquest
Winchester, NH: It may have been overcast and cloudy, but that could not put a damper on the action packed night at the high banks of our speedway. Fans, as always, were treated to the best of the best from all divisions in competition.
While walking in the pit area you could sense some pre-race jitters coming from Young Star Adam Manley, who tonight would make the step up to run with the mini stocks during their 35 lap Mini Conquest. But having a good crew and lots of support behind you can make you more comfortable and Manley was looking to get set and earn the other competitors respect. Also, a more than welcomed suprise, was seeing the #62 of Roger Raymond with his well known Ford powered modified here to compete. Raymond has always been know as the gentlemen in any of the racing ventures he has competed in, and a hero to fans and racers. His wins and championships are endless and at his mature age all believe that racing is in his blood. Raymond would be lined up to start in heat three of the modified qualifiers.

LANE CAPTURES EMOTIONAL VICTORY WHILE MACEWEN, BOURQUE AND LEBLANC TIGHTEN UP DIVISION POINTS CHASES AT CFS ON SUNDAY
(Shediac, N.B.) — Ron Lane (#46) has won his share of races over the past number of years, but Sunday’s Super Sportsman win in the Covered Bridge Potato Chips 35 was special and quite emotional for the Prosser Brook driver.
With moisture in his eyes in victory lane, Prosser dedicated the win to his grandmother Pauline Lane who passed away earlier Sunday. “She told me to go racing earlier today, so this win is very special and I dedicate it to her memory,” said Lane moments after climbing out of his racecar with the checkered flag in hand. In fact Lane was scheduled to race in Yarmouth, N.S. in Saturday’s Wedgeport Lobster 100 Invitational, but his grandmother’s ailing health put a curve in those plans. “This 35-lap feature win is one of the biggest of my career and I’ll remember it for a very long time just because of the special circumstances surrounding it,” added Lane as he looked skyward.
