The Giffords Ice Cream Bandolero Series has its final race of the season this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS). Last weekend new comer 15 year old, AJ Eastman of Fishers Island, NY got his 1st win at NHMS ¼ mile track. AJ took the lead early in the feature race and lead every lap, holding off the 90 of Casey Call and the 21 of Jacob Perry, to take the checkered flag.
So what is it like for AJ to race in the Bandolero Series at NHMS, “It’s a lot of fun, very exciting, with lots of competitive racers.”
The ¼ mile track at NHMS is a unique style similar to a “D” shape track as the front straight away is flat and, turns 1 through 4 and the back stretch is all banked. “The facility itself is amazing. The track is challenging due to the transition between the banking and the flatness of the front stretch.”
