Lee USA Speedway
Crowning day at Lee USA!
Lee, NH- Lee USA Speedway wrapped up their points season this past Sunday afternoon! It was a beautiful day for racing and crowning our 2025 Champions.
The Open Pro Stocks ran twin 40 lap features. Corey Bubar in the 12x led the first 16 laps of the race before Ryan Green in the 93 rocketed past him for the lead. Green would show the way to victory lane capturing the win! Brandon Barker in the 32 drove from his 5th place starting spot to finish 2nd, while Nicholas Cusack in the 2 car finished 3rd. This allowed Barker to increase his points lead over Cusack with 1 points race on the day and season. In feature #2 Alex Quarterly in the 32Q led the first 8 laps before Bobby Baillargeon in car #82 took over the top spot. That wouldn’t last long as Skeeter Bearce in the #71 used the outside on the lap 11 restart to take the lead and runaway with the show capturing his first win in over 20 years. Bubar finished 2nd and Green finished 3rd. Barker used his 6th place finish to seal up the championship!
Super Streets saw Patrick Tanguay in car #79 roll into the day with an eight point lead over Mike Williams in the #07. Kris Schroeder in the 66k started on the front row and lead the first 23 laps before the handling on his car went away allowing Bill Helliwell in the 01 to take the lead on lap 24 and the win. Then Justin Beecher in the 57 took over the 2nd spot on the last lap forcing Schroeder to the 3rd spot. Despite no win on the season Tanguay was able to capture the Championship!
Black Flagged Podcast Ridge Runners came into the day with the championship nearly decided as Callie Osborne in the 59 entered the day with a 22 point lead over Dan Caswell (47c). Gage Osborne (55) started on the pole and would lead every lap on his way to capturing the win. Carl Gagnon would start 5th and would move into the 2nd spot on lap 3 but just wouldn’t be able to get close to the 55 of Gage Osborne. Drew Morse in the 63M would assume the 3rd spot on lap 15 and he would hold off a few late race challenges to finish 3rd. Callie Osborne would do what she needed to in order to win the championship and that was running a clean race and finishing 6th!
O’Reilly Auto Parts Six Shooters had Erin Aiken in car 33A enter the day with a 26 point lead and by virtue of car count and taking the green flag won the championship! Paul Childs in the 24 started on the pole with Steve Miller Sr in the 68 to his outside. Miller Sr. would have a slight edge as he led lap 1 but Childs battled back to lead laps 2 through 6 before Miller Sr. retook the lead. Miller Sr. Would set sail on his way to the victory. Fans would be treated to a battle for 2nd as Child’s would have to fend off Steve Miller Jr. in the 79 for most of the second half of the race. Child’s would hold on to finish 2nd, while Miller Jr. settled for 3rd!
MLM Diagnostic Open Pure Stocks were the only division to enter the day with the championship decided. As Sean Nadeau in the 35 had a 70 point lead over the next closest car and the maximum possible points in a single event is 70. Donnie Fletcher in car 88 led the field to the green and would lead the first lap but the 88c of Derek Cook made the pass for the lead on lap 2. Cook would checkout on his way to the win. Shane Webber in the 7 car who has put some good runs together this season finished 2nd and Fletcher finished 3rd.
