Before he got to the front Trever Rocke got the jump on the start of the event taking the lead from pole sitter Michael Dunn. Rocke survived back to back caution restarts on laps six and seven, but would fall to DJ Robinson\u2019s efforts for the lead on lap thirteen. Robinson held off Rocke and Dunn until cautioned waved again on lap twenty four. As the battle was going on in the front of the pack, Kevin Chaffee was methodically making his way from the back to the front. Robinson held the point for one ore lap before Chaffee grabbed the lead on lap twenty six. The final caution of the event came on lap thirty three, and when the field was reset it was no surprise to see Pierson having come from the last starting spot on the grid, because he failed to qualify, knocking on Chaffee\u2019s door. Chaffee, having finished second to Pierson one too many times this year wasn\u2019t giving in, and he was able to hold on to the point to take home the win. Pierson crossed in second with Robinson holding on for third. Tim Hodge and Michael Dunn completed the top five.<\/p>\n<p>Buster Kathan and Stan Otterman brought the field of the Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes, to the green for the thirty lap main event and would have to do a double take on the opening lap and the last lap before they could score it in the record books. The middle laps were all green flag racing with Mitchell Frost taking the point away from Kathan on lap seven. Frost held on for four laps before falling to the hard charging efforts of Jason Horniak. Horniak held the point for the next dozen laps before Frost was able to get by him. Horniak reclaimed the lead with two to go looking poised to grab the checkers, before the caution waived with one lap to go. The restart saw Frost with the jump, becoming the fifth different winner in as many weeks beating out Horniak for the win. Horniak held on for second with Jason Colbeth taking home third. Rookie Chris LaForest had a great run coming home in fifth and Thomas Placey rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n<p>The Laquerre Sports USAC DMA Midgets were once again dominated by the Manafort machines, but this time it was Adam Pierson for the win over team mate Josh Sunn. Pierson coming from 10th took the lead on lap fourteen and from there never looked back. Sunn would not have anything for his team and would have to settle for the bridesmaid position. Adam Whitney continues to silently make his presence know as he comes home in third tight on the heels of Sunn. Veteran Jeff horn crossed in fourth with Robert Tucker taking home fifth.<\/p>\n<p>The USAC DMA Midgets will be making their first of two trips this season to Albany Saratoga this Friday June 10th.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Martin grabs the win again in the Mike Rivers Automotive Limited Late Models over rookies Wayland Childs and Don Reynolds. Martin took the lead away from Don Reynolds on lap one and proceeded to dust the field. TJ Morse and Brian Bishop rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n<p>Not one but two flips on lap two of the Weglarz Property Service Four Cylinder feature brought the field to read, and once both cars were righted, drivers pronounced A-Okay racing resumed with Sean Perron holding point. Perron stayed on top until lap eight when Mike Ryan took over for a commanding lead for the rest of the event. Ryan held off Jesse Durkee for the win with Buddy Welch right on their tails to take home third. Chris Sweet and Sean Perron rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n<p>The Granite State Mini Sprints were back in the house with a strong field of 500cc\u2019s on hand for the fans. Tanner Siemons was a quarter lap away from his first win of the season at the Ridge when his engine let go and also his dreams of the win. Owen Carbee was there to take the point and the win with Bob Griffin coming home in second and Ed Vickery crossing the line in third. In the 600cc\u2019s John the Jet Scarbough grabbed the win over Kyle Belliveau in second and Tony Shaw in third.<\/p>\n<p>Bear Ridge Speedway\u2019s 49th season of stock car racing continues on Saturday, June 11th with the Sabil &#038; Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds, Wells River Chevrolet DIRTcar Sportsman Coupes, Mike Rivers Automotive Limited Late Models, and the Weglarz Property Service Four Cylinders.
