Airborne Speedway recap Sat May 5, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

George Foley of Vermontville beat Todd Stone of Middlebury, VT to the finish line by a car-length to win the DIRTcar Modified 30-lap main event on his sponsor\u2019s night (Loreman\u2019s Screen Printing) at Airborne Speedway Saturday.<\/p>\n

Foley, driving the Shamrock Bar & Grill\/Pulsifer Logging Ford-powered No. 34, took the lead for keeps on lap 2, but Stone stayed close for the first 27 laps. No sooner had Foley opened up some daylight on Stone and third-place Pat McGrail then the yellow came out on lap 29.
\n
\nThat set up a green-white-checkers finish, but Stone couldn\u2019t make a winning pass. McGrail finished third, three car-lengths ahead of Greg Atkins-4th and Maxime Viens-5th. It was the second straight second-place finish for Stone.<\/p>\n

Kris Vernold finished sixth. Aaron Bartemy, from 14th on the grid, was seventh. Positions 8-10 went to Adam Bartemy, Craig Reyell and Pierre Berthiaume. Foley, Stone and Richard Tisseur won the Modified heats. Last week\u2019s winner Patrick Dupree had transmission problems and drove a back-up car to finish 14th.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a new car,\u201d Foley said. \u201cWe had some tire problems the first week, but today everything worked out. We also changed springs and the car was fast. I feel comfortable racing with Todd (Stone), he\u2019s a real clean driver. I would have been glad to go without the last caution, but that\u2019s racing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamy Begor of Mooers, who like Foley had to survive a green-white-checkers restart, held off Robin Wood to win the Limited Late Model feature. Begor started on the pole and wired the field. Bucko Branham got up for third after a lengthy battle with Fred Lagoy, who wound up in fifth – a car-length behind Shawn Duquette in fourth.<\/p>\n

Kevin Boutin of Fairfax, VT won the Renegade feature. It was the first time the defending champion ever scored back-to-back wins at Airborne. Midway through the 25-lap race, runner-up Jason McClatchie of Plattsburgh ran at Boutin\u2019s door for six laps before yielding the lead. Joe Warren, Robbie Favreau and Robert Gordon completed the top five.<\/p>\n

Nick Heywood of Plattsburgh won the Sportsman Modified feature for the second week in a row. Lonnie Rivers and Sebastien Fournier were next in line. Erick Sayles of Lake Placid, Michael Whalen and Josh LaPorte finished 1-2-3 in Busch Bomber Mini Modified feature.<\/p>\n

Airborne hosts the first event of the six-race USA\/Canada Masters Limited Late Model Series Saturday, May 12. Over a dozen teams from Autodrome St-Eustache are expected.<\/p>\n
