Vertical Outlaws Wow Crowd – Douglas Has Night To Remember
By Caleb Lamb
OXFORD, Maine – With memories from the TD Bank 250 still fresh in the drivers’ minds, both the Acceleration Series and Championship Series divisions got a well-deserved week off from competition. However, there was still plenty of action at the Oxford oval with the third of four Motor Mayhems this year, presented by Aaron’s, taking place.

Mid-State Trucking Modified driver Todd Petschke (09) finally put together a second half to a race that matched his first half. He led from Green to Checkers and took home the big Ed Tobin Car Crushing trophy for Sunday, July 25. It was a wild Modified feature with lots of bumping and banging that will have a number of drivers doing repairs for next week. Trever Rocke (63) survived to finish second, with Chad Turck (56) taking third.
Chief Starter and track Educational Director Ray Moses said that the word of the week was “Disappointment,” and this was something felt by a good many drivers this Sunday afternoon. One was James Capps of the Mods, whose #64 was running near the front much of the feature, but was involved in a wreck late in the race.

Hudson Race Report for July 25th
Hudson NH –Jerry Lepage scored his first career win in the Rookie Stocks on Sunday evening July 25th at Hudson International Speedway. Lepage started on the pole and led every lap of the race. Past the halfway point of the race Keith “Slika” Ennis was running second and looked like he going to be able to mount a challenge to Lepage but tangled with Andy Nichols on a restart and both cars spun out of contention for the day. Lepage held on from there to become the eighth different winner in twelve Rookie Stocks mains this year. Second through tenth were Billy Clement Jr., Dan Murphy Jr., Dean Wendell, Bill Helliwell, Ennis, Corrie Merritt, Larry Fortin, John Morin Jr. and Nichols. Murphy and Clement were the heat winners.

Lavoie Takes Down Super Stock Showdown
Lavoie Takes Down Super Stock Showdown
Winchester, NH: Fans once again got their money’s worth when the high-bank racers would put on a show to remember. Hot temperatures from the sun and humidity would not stop fans from coming to watch their local favorites. Cub Scout pack #33 from Jaffrey New Hampshire would proudly display our countries colors as Donna Dutton sang our National Anthem.
The young guns stepped up and racers were doubled up to take the green. The caution would wave on lap 9 sending JT Cloutier into the pits with right front damage. When the checkered flag flew it was a Adam Manley victorious over Joe Boivin, last week’s winner, and Cordell Colon.

WESTFIELD, MA – On a sultry, steamy night with a triple digit heat index, 60 year old Jim DeCambra ended a two year drought with a wire-to-wire win in the 600cc Mini Sprints.
“I guess I outlasted the kids,” DeCambra said. “Our division is so fast and the cars are so nearly equal, that almost anybody could win on any given night. This week, I was in the right spot at the right time and it makes up for a race I should have won a couple of weeks ago.” (more…)

Cayea smokes Airborne Mods for 1st career win
South Plattsburgh – Chris Cayea of Mooers pulled away from the field with the Begor’s Supply No. 18 in the closing laps of the 30-lap Modified main event to claim his first career win at Airborne Speedway.
Cayea’s win came soon after Jamy Begor had held off Bucko Branham to score his first win of the season in the J&S Steel Sportsman feature.
Cayea started on the outside of early leader Andy Heywood after a red flag was thrown on lap when Todd Ormsby spun out and flames appeared underneath his car. Heywood soon began losing the handle and Cayea snatched the lead on lap 18 while Craig Reyell, Bryant Trim and Jason Durgan battled hard for second. That trio managed to stop point leader Patrick Dupree’s run to the front from 14th. Dupree got a wheel under Durgan for fourth, but Durgan regained the spot and eventually wound up third at Trim’s bumper.
