Kevin Chaffee claims the daily double with wins in DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds & WYKR SCoNE events<\/strong><\/p>\n

BRADFORD, VT \u2013 The \u201cFairlee Flyer\u201d flew to victory lane victorious not once but twice dominantly in the Bond Auto DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds and WYKR Sprint Cars of New England. Kevin Chaffee, Bradford VT saw more laps at high speed but never tired on R&M Automotive Service Center night. It took Chaffee 14 laps to take the lead away from Mike Gendron. From there he would make it thru lapped traffic on the high side to claim his first win of the season and the night. Derek Graham Woodsville NH coming from deep in the pack worked his way to the front for second, but was never able to set any serious challenge on Chaffee. Jason Gray E Thetford VT was unable to get by Graham and would have to settle for the final victory lane position. Rounding out the top five were Mike Gendron and Adam Pierson.<\/p>\n

The Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes had a challenge with a potential for an extra $300 to the winner with the combination of a $100 bonus from WRC Racing and the Brass Ring at $200 to the winner if the event runs green to checkers. The challenge turned out to be a bit more than most could handle as the yellow waved a total of six times before half way resulting in a single file restart after the final caution. This got the field settled down and they were able to go the next half without incident. Survival of the fittest became the theme, and when the checkers finally waved last year\u2019s track champion claimed the win and the WRC Racing portion of the bonus, with Jeremy Beckley coming home in second and Michael Danforth in third. Buster Kathan had a great performance starting on the pole and ending up one spot short of victory lane if fourth. Matt Ellsworth claimed the final victory lane spot crossing the line in fifth.

The USAC DMA Midgets returns for competition Saturday May 30th on Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank night.<\/p>\n

Brandon Gray claimed his fourth in as many outings in the season, leaving the rest of the competition trying to figure out what they have to do to get the jump. Matt Lashua, Canaan NH came home second for the second week in a row with James Fadden coming home in third. Tim Martin after a rough wreck in the heat race was able to come back for the feature and claim the fourth place spot. Eric Lang rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

The field of Weglarz Property Service\/F.M.S. Auto Parts Four Cylinders appears to be growing weekly and with three qualifies placing last week\u2019s feature winner further in the back, making it to the front gets more difficult. Mike Ryan was unable to claim back to back wins having his worst finish of the year. Tonight it would be about the other feature winner of the year Matt Boucher who came from mid pack to take over the lead quickly and sail on for his second win the season, making both him and Ryan the only winners and both repeats for 2015. Karl Sheldon was the man on the move making it all the way to second but unable to set any challenge on Boucher. Charlie Lakin completed the victory lane podium making it 4 for 4 to the coveted bricks. Justin Severance came home in fourth with David Durkee completing the top five.<\/p>\n

The WYKR SCoNE (Sprint Cars of New England) made their first appearance to the ridge in 2015 with 17 cars in the pits. Doing double duty and have double fun was Kevin Chaffee who this time did it on the bottom of the track. Chaffee took the lead away from Will Hull with ten to go and said sorry but this one is mine. Chaffee claimed his second feature win of the night leaving Hull to settle for second and third place going to Dan Douville. Tyler Austin and Jacob Williams completed the top five. The SCoNE\u2019s will return to the Ridge on June 13th.<\/p>\n
