story by Chris Roy
Alex Vorrilas of North Reading, MA is racing Legends in the Moat Mountain Road Course Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS). This past weekend, Alex raced a double header on the road course at NHMS, getting his fourth podium finish this season. Before the race, I sat down and spoke with Alex about his racing career: “Throughout my childhood, there had always been racecars in my life, and for some reason I never seemed to express any interest in the sport. I competitively ski raced from the age to three to about eighteen, and loved playing soccer as a kid. Instead of helping my dad work on his 700 horsepower GT Endurance car, I would kick a soccer ball against our barn door while he tweaked and adjusted the engine. It seemed to be a tradition in my family to begin racing, since both my grandfather and my dad both attained their auto racing licenses when they were eighteen years old.

Barre, VT – Brett Wheeler of Waterbury Center met Phil Scott’s challenge on a late race restart and sped off to victory in the Harvest Equipment Night Late Model 50-lap main event on a rare Monday night of stock car racing at Thunder Road.
Wheeler started on the pole and left everyone in the dust before a caution for Joey M Laquerre’s spin on lap 39 brought his Spherion No. 1 back to the field. Scott lined up alongside Wheeler in the Lamberton Electric/Maplewood No. 14, but wasn’t able to hang at Wheeler’s door.
