\"Kenny<\/a>Veteran leads 49 of 50 laps; point standings tighten<\/em><\/p>\n

CANAAN, NH \u2013 Multi-time Modified stock car racing champion Kenny Tremont, Jr., earned his first-ever victory on the Northern Modified Challenge Series on Sunday, August 11, taking a convincing win in the Subway Fresh Fit 50 at Canaan Fair Speedway. The win was the 303rd feature event victory of the West Sand Lake, NY veteran\u2019s celebrated career.<\/p>\n

Tremont was strong in his qualifying heat at the fast 1\/3-mile asphalt oval, finishing second to point leader Jessey Mueller. By virtue of a blind draw, Tremont started on the outside of the front row in the 50-lap main event, lining up next to Brandon, VT\u2019s Vince Quenneville, Jr., who also won a qualifying heat.<\/p>\n

The opening laps took their toll, drawing four caution periods in the first eight circuits. The restarts set up an entertaining faceoff between Quenneville and Tremont, however, and Tremont surprised even himself in using the tricky outside lane to grab the lead each time. Quenneville was able to lead only the second lap of the race before Tremont pulled out to a comfortable advantage.
\n
\nThe final 42 laps of the race went off without incident, allowing for several battles for position. As Tremont navigated lapped traffic in the late stages of the race, Quenneville and Ron Proctor of Charlton, NY \u2013 who had a race-long fight for the runner-up spot \u2013 caught Tremont at the front. Tremont held on for the win, though, followed in order by Quenneville, Proctor, Leon Gonyo, and Todd Stone.<\/p>\n

Gonyo, of Chazy, NY, fought off a constant challenge from Stone for virtually the whole race distance. Stone, who won the Carrara Masonry & Concrete C.J. Richards Memorial 67 event for the Northern Modified Challenge Series at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway on August 2, recovered from a qualifying crash that saw his car fly off the track and require substantial repairs to score the finish.<\/p>\n

Mueller, of Olmstedville, NY, finished sixth to retain a slim four-point lead on Gonyo with two races remaining. Jason Durgan of Morrisonville, NY finished seventh in his NMCS debut, followed by Joe Williams of Scotia, NY, Hunter Bates of Middlebury, VT, and first-time Challenge competitor Lonnie Rivers of Plattsburgh, NY.<\/p>\n

The Northern Modified Challenge Series is a five-race championship for dirt-style, center-seat, open-wheel Modified stock cars, with races at four tracks on both asphalt and dirt surfaces. The NMCS returns to action at its home track at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway, a half-mile asphalt oval in West Haven, VT, on September 14-15 for the Vermont 200 Weekend. The Challenge schedule wraps up on Saturday, October 19 at the quarter-mile Canaan Dirt Speedway at the annual OctoberFAST event.<\/p>\n
