It’s now three weeks, three winners in Rodfather-sponsored NASCAR Whelen All American Series Supermodifieds at Lee USA Speedway, as Kingston veteran Moe Lattime scored his first win of the season in the 30-lap main event on Friday night.
A single caution flag slowed the pace when the previous week’s winner, John Burke of Auburn had a tire go down and spun on the backstretch on the first lap, but it was all Lattime from there.
After starting the race inside the front row, Moe moved out to the lead when racing resumed, and he led every lap on the way to the winner‘s circle, with a comfortable half-second margin of victory over eventual runner-up Mike Keddy of Raymond.
LEE, NH: — An unlikely but impressive new challenger highlights this Friday night’s super-modified division in a 16-race, seven-division program here at Lee USA Speedway.
John Burke, a 15-year racing veteran who now makes his home in Boston, has made a spectacular debut with two feature wins this season driving an all-newly built winged “wedge” super-mod. The low-slung clever-looking car was built over the winter by Oswego Speedway legend and long-time car-designer Mike Muldoon.

Despite a quick shower that interrupted the action during qualifying, Lee USA Speedway put another Friday night program in the record books, with Auburn racer John Burke putting on a clinic to post the win in the Rodfather-sponsored NASCAR Whelen All American Series Supermodified feature.
When flagman Steve Gran unfurled the green for the 30-lap main event, Burke immediately broke out to the lead, and with just a single caution period to slow the race on lap two, it was less than nine minutes later when Gran dropped the checkers over Burke’s first-ever Lee USA Speedway win.
