All-American Series Late Model championship at Lee USA Speedway on Friday
night, notching his sixth win of the year in the 35-lap main event presented
by E Keys 4 Cars.

Late Models loose, but Bryan Kruczek made his way past on lap eight to take
over the point. Mile Chipman followed Kruczek to the front, and soon
enough, Helliwell joined them to make it a three-way battle for the lead.

RPM. The inaugural year for the N.E.S.T Series racing, are you having to adapt to the different tracks making changes to the rules and set up?
Sirois. No matter what the class is you have to make changes to the setups from track to track. The rules have not had any changes. Being the inaugural year I am going with the flow and just concentrating on getting the truck counts up therefore putting on a good show.
RPM. How did NEST Series get started?
Sirois. Nest got started as a result of my accident in 09 I knew I needed some time to heal before I would drive again, but wanted to stay involved. There had been talk by other drivers to get a series formed, Russ Anderson and I had worked on the rules and both of us are still working on relationships with more tracks.

Friday night marked much-anticipated return of the NASCAR K & N Pro Series
East to Lee USA Speedway, and the 125-lap main event was a tremendous show
from start to finish. Tennessee driver Kevin Swindell picked up the pole in
qualifying, with local favorite Eddie MacDonald setting second fast time.
When the main event went green, MacDonald quickly jumped out front, but he
only set the pace for the first five laps before Swindell got back past.
The two swapped the lead back and forth several times over the next 50 laps,
with MacDonald eventually gaining the advantage.
