The finish was the best of the season for the all-time leader in ACT starts, who won his heat race and started third at one of his favorite tracks on the circuit. Dragon&#8217;s own Dragon Motorsports car ran inside the Top-3 all night before a loose handling condition over the final few laps stopped him one spot short of the victory.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nWHO: Brent Dragon, Milton, Vt.<br \/>\nTEAM: Dragon Motorsports No. 55 Beverage Mart\/Furniture World of VT\/Charlesbois Freightliner Chevrolet<br \/>\nCREW CHIEF: Donnie Avery, Ashland, N.H.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT: ACT Late Model Tour Jim&#8217;s Captown 100<br \/>\nWHERE: Twin State Speedway, Claremont, N.H.

We started fourth in our heat race and won that. It&#8217;s like we talked about before \u2013 you have to start up front there at that place for a race that&#8217;s only 100 laps. The car was good right from the beginning. We just got a little too loose at the end.<\/p>\n<p>DID IT SUPRISE YOU THAT THE CAR LOOSENED UP?<\/p>\n<p>A little bit. Last year, we got tight at the end. It&#8217;s just a matter of setup. We got a little bit tight, but it&#8217;s close \u2013 we&#8217;re not talking about much. It&#8217;s just that little bit, just something little that gets you at the end.<\/p>\n<p>DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR RACE WINNER BRIAN HOAR AT THE END?<\/p>\n<p>No. With two or three (laps) to go, we got under (Randy) Potter and got by him for second. The car went pretty good, but it was just not quite enough. <\/p>\n<p>I had one restart when I was on the outside of Potter, but I couldn&#8217;t get by him. We were just too loose. I just couldn&#8217;t do it. Then once Brian got by us, that was pretty much it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neracingforum.com\/forum\/viewforum.php?f=51\">ACT Forum<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/neracer.com\/blog\/blog\/category\/act\/\">ACT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brent Dragon: ACT Late Model Tour Twin State Speedway Race Report CLAREMONT, N.H. \u2013 Brent Dragon of Milton, Vt., finished a strong second in the ACT Late Model Tour Jim&#8217;s Captown 100 at Twin State Speedway in Claremont, N.H., on Saturday, July 9.
