Boniface Scores Modified Win
Winchester, NH: Every dad celebrating as a fan or competitor was treated to an old fashioned Saturday night asphalt show down at Monadnock Speedway this past Saturday. No matter which division you enjoy the most this evening would prove once again that there is no other place to see this much excitement for the family.
After a two week break due to Mother Nature the racers were all eager to get going, maybe some too eager! Hot weather and a warm breeze would set the tone for the nights races.

Senator Phil Scott Rebounds with Win at the “Nation’s Site of Excitement”
Barre, VT – Montpelier’s Senator Phil Scott led flag to flag in the Late Model 50 lap feature at Thunder Road during Sunday’s (June 13) Ferguson Waterworks twilight special.

It was the 26th career Thunder Road Late Model win for Scott who holds the record over Cris Michaud and Dave Pembroke who each have 15 wins.
The Senator was chased to the line by Jamie Fisher who barely edged out Cris Michaud by a fraction of a second at the line. 2010 Memorial Day Champion Dave Pembroke took fourth followed by 2010 Merchants Bank 150 Champion Nick Sweet rounding out the top five. Rich Lowrey finished sixth followed by Reno Gervais, Jerry Lesage, Joey Laquerre and Tracie Bellerose completing the top ten.

But Folsom was up to the task and the veteran competitor who first raced at Unity some three decades ago outgunned the young reigning king and drove to victory lane for well-deserved accolades.
