That’s a Wrap!
Lee, NH-
In a season that was truly dominated by Mother Nature as seen with three of the champions being named on Championship weekend earlier in September and two drivers having to wait till this past weekend’s Russ Conway’s Oktoberfest to collect their championships. Ironically Friday evenings racing card for Russ Conway’s Oktoberfest was forced to be spread over Saturday and Sunday due to rain.
Wayne Helliwell Jr. collected the Rodfather Pro Stock Championship. He took the championship behind 1 win, 4 top 5’s and 6 top 10 finishes.
Hayden Grenier took the Original Wheelman Late Model Championship behind 1 win, 5 top 5’s and 5 top 10’s.
David Cameron won the Black Flagged Podcasts Ridge Runners Championship with 4 wins, 5 top 5’s and 5 top 10’s.
Christin Destefano captured the O’Reilly Auto Parts Six Shooter Championship with 2 wins, 6 top 5’s and 6 top 10’s.
Colton Martin was this years MLM Diagnostic Services Championship. He collect 4 wins, 4 top 5’s and 4 top 10’s.
This part weekend we wrapped up the season with Russ Conway’s Oktoberfest. Originally scheduled as a 3 day show as mentioned earlier we battled Mother Nature on Friday and lost. This then turned to 2 full days of racing action.
On Saturday we had 12 feature events, 2 of which wrapped up our points season crowing the last of our champions.
Andrew Morin won the make up race for the Original Wheelman Late Models and Colton Martin won the MLM Diagnostic Services Pure Stock make up race.
