Hudson, NH \u2013 Two first time winners capped off a exciting day of racing last Sunday at Hudson Speedway with Chris Kuebler winning the V-6 Modified feature and John Morin Jr. taking home the winners hardware in the Rookie Stocks.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a brief rain delay during the heat races, the Thunder Lite youth division was first on the pavement for their feature race. Tyler Hatch made quick work of the cars in front of him from his third row starting spot and took the lead by lap three. Dylan Bilodeau followed Hatch up through traffic and settled in second chasing Hatch. With Hatch stretching his lead, Sammy Gilman moved into third. At the strip it was Hatch, Bilodeau, Gilman, Gage Harron and Jen Lord the top five.<\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty Four Classic Lites drove under starter Bob Munroe\u2019s green flag with Paul Colson leading the first 6 laps from his pole position on the starting grid. Billy Ryder Jr. took the top spot from him on a restart and held the point till Eric Bacon took the spot from him. Ryder Jr. spun a few laps later bringing out the caution. Jeremy Wilcox took over second on the restart but was no match for Bacon, the top two ran that way till the checkers fell with Ryder Jr. recovering from his spin to finish third. Jon Provost, Paul Colson, Jeff Miller, Steve Dickey, Eddie Gilman, Jeff Gilman and Dennis O\u2019Brien rounded out the top ten.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Kuebler took the V-6 Modifieds to the green and held on for his first ever feature win but it wasn\u2019t easy as he was challenged early on by J.R. Gorman who got outside of him a few times and then nearing the end of the race Allen Reiser came charging at Kuebler. Reiser got a run on Kuebler coming off turn two on the final circuit, but Kuebler closed the door going down the back stretch and held on for the win. Reiser, Dick Dubois, Gorman and Keith Caruso were the top five. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jef James took his second win in a row in the Roadrunners after early race leader Louis Maher, who had a commanding lead, exited with mechanical problems at the halfway point. Eric Bebeault had an impressive run coming in second with Patrick D\u2019Alba third, John Pilvelis fourth and Bruce Knowles fifth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Kuebler in the Modifieds, Morin Jr. took advantage of his pole starting spot but wasn\u2019t challenged till the closing laps with two time Rookie Stock champ Scotty Duval reeling him in. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the final lap, with heavy traffic in front of the top two, Duval caught Morin Jr.\u00a0 Coming off the final turn it was a drag race with Morin Jr beating Duval by inches. Larry Fortin, Dan Murphy and Andy Nichols rounded out the top five<\/span><\/p>\n
