Epping, NH \u2013 Another action-packed night of racing action hit the high banks of All-Star Speedway on Saturday night, and Eric Hudson continued his hot streak, collecting his third consecutive feature win in the 40-lap All-Star Modified main event.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the green flag waved, Hudson wasted little time making his way to the front, with J.R. Baril hanging tough in the second spot over the first half of the race.\u00a0 Joe Lemay had moved in to challenge Baril for second, but a lap 17 spin sent him to the rear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenny White, Jr. took up the challenge next, while leader Hudson continued to stretch it out.\u00a0 At the checkers, it was Hudson and the Newmarket Sand and Gravel machine out front by several car lengths to score the win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baril held on to post a solid runner-up finish, with White grabbing the third spot in his first start of the year. Lemay recovered from his mid-race spin for fourth, followed by Rusty Ball, Bobby MacArthur, Dana Smith, Sumner Scott, and Norm Forrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grant Aither of nearby Exeter made his first appearance of the year count in the Super Street main, as he outclassed the field to collect his first career All-Star win.\u00a0 Sparky MacIver made a late-race pass to collect second-place honors, with Rob DeAlmeida third.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a week after Cindy Sevigny posted a win in the Fast-4\u2019s, Amanda Victoria became the second female winner of the 2009 season after an entertaining run in the Outlaw Mini Stock feature. <\/span><\/p>\n

Victoria had her hands full with the hard-charging Ricky Porter, but she held on to win by a car length to collect the winner\u2019s hardware.\u00a0 Bruce Knowles scored third in his first All-Star run of the year, followed by Sevigny, Ralph Sanborn, Gary West, and Ken McIlvaine.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the first of two features for the Fast-4\u2019sit was Greg Cummings and Josh Hodgdon running out front for the first 15 laps.\u00a0 The pair got tangled up while fighting for the lead, and Jason Poisson took the high line past them both to grab the point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two laps later, Joey Fernandez got out of shape in turn two, collecting \u201cUncle Dana\u201d Sullivan\u2019s VW hard as he tried to get past.\u00a0 With the right front corner of his racer badly damaged, Sullivan was done for the night. <\/span><\/p>\n

Poisson picked up the lead once again on the restart, and went the distance to score his second win of the year.\u00a0 Ken Mailhot, Tyler Mailhot, Hodgdon, Gary West, Cory Sullivan, Cummings, Fernandez, Sevigny, and Dana Sullivan were second through tenth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ken Mailhot stepped it up in the second race, holding off a late-race challenge from Poisson, who was looking to double up for the night.\u00a0 Mailhot picked up his second win of the year, with Poisson, Tyler Mailhot, Cummings, and Sevigny the rest of the top five.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Williams dominated the twin Strictly Stock features, nailing down both wins aboard the Mike White entry. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the first race, Williams battled side-by-side with Stephen Dubois for the first three laps before moving to the front, and he stayed there for the rest of the 25-lapper.\u00a0 Mark Parenteau, Dubois, Rosebud Shea, and Ricky Porter finished up the top five.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second time around, it was Shea leading the first several laps, but in the end, it was once again Williams leading them to the checkers.\u00a0 Shea, Parenteau, Dubois, and Porter were second through fifth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
