The 2010 NEMST point champion only led one lap in Sunday’s event at Twin State Speedway, but it was the right one. McKinstry clinched the 2010 title Saturday after winning his heat race in a dream season of racing, 8 starts and 7 wins.
It was the first time the NEMST, only in its sophomore year, visited the unique track in Claremont, NH. The 50 lap NEMST feature kicked off the day on Sunday with Rob Gioia and Roger Ducharme leading the field down for the initial start. Ducharme broke out to the early lead with Jeff Hebert of Auburn, ME taking over controls at lap 3. The first 13 laps went incident free before the 99 car of Donald Rogers spun to the infield and brought out the first caution flag. On the restart it was Hebert and Cayer on the front row with Hebert carrying the lead through turn 1. On lap 15 the 88 of Emerson Cayer squeezed Hebert low in turn 2 and took the lead down the backstretch. Chris McKinstry also snuck by the 22 of Hebert and began to chase Cayer down.

The North East Mini Stock Tour made its debut at Maine’s Toughest Oval, Unity Raceway on Saturday night. Rhode Island native and tour veteran Roger Ducharme survived the caution filled event to bring home his first NEMST victory.
The heat races went off without a hitch with Tim Boyle and Zach Audet taking home the wins. 22 cars were in the pits for the main event of 50 laps. The action started off well with a lot of slicing and dicing for position. On lap 6 the first caution came out for a spin involving Greg Cummings and Keith Ogden. Throughout the next 30 laps the event would be slowed a few more times for minor spins. The show of the night was put on by NEMST defending champion Emerson Cayer who started dead last and climbed his way to the front not once, not twice, but three different times.
