Ramstrom Finishes 3rd In Strong Thompson Effort
Derek Ramstrom of West Boylston, Mass., finished third in a caution-free Super Late Model feature at Thompson International Speedway in Thompson, Conn., on Thursday night. Ramstrom, the defending Super Late Model champion at the track, started sixth in the 30-lap NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Super Late Model event and climbed to third just past the halfway mark. He battled Rick Fuller for several laps over the final 10 laps of the race, but he never got a late-race restart that would have gained him valuable track position on eventual winner Mike Stefanik. Ramstrom, who has five wins on the season, closed to within six points of Mike O’Sullivan for the division lead.

Mini Stock Point Leader Davis in Victory Lane
Winchester, NH Thanks for the memories as the 2nd annual Heroes of Yester-Year, Ford of Brattleboro open track party allowed fans and competitors from today and the past to mingle. Drivers gave out candy, and signed autographs, but most of all took time out to thank their fans of all ages. Some of us finally had our chance to meet our heroes from the past and talk about how racing has changed, and how some things will never change.
Young Guns (our future stars) showed how more seat time is making for stiffer competition. On lap nine Adam Manley went spinning through the infield and the #88 for Hilary Renuad and Cordel Colon got together. All were able to get back onto the track and this feature was run caution free. Joe Boivin would take down the win followed by Matt Parmenter and JT Cloutier.
