Hudson, NH-<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Patience was a virtue as Larry Gelinas bounced back from an early spin to claim the spoils at the Gate City Classic at Hudson International Speedway.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby Cabral looked to be the car to beat at the beginning of the day, as the 2012 champion in the Granite State Pro Stock Series was strong in his heat, picking up the checkered and setting himself up nicely for the feature.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Walpole, NH native Mike Parks would join Cabral on the front row of the feature, by virtue of Parks winning the second heat, and Cabral drawing the #1 pill, resulting in no inversion of qualified cars.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Cabral would lead early, but would be involved in an incident on lap 25, putting a damper on becoming a two-time winner with the series at Hudson.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Mike Parks would inherit the lead, fighting off multiple threats from Dillon Moltz.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Moltz would get the better of Parks eventually, and log some laps at the point of the field.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just past the halfway mark in the 100 lap event, Gelinas, who had been hovering in the top 5 most of the day, went careening to the infield after incidental contact with hometown driver Derek Griffith.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Gelinas never lifted, whipping the car back onto the track before the leaders could put a lap on the Buxton, ME driver.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Another of the 15 cautions on the day brought Gelinas back to the pack.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Brad Babb, who had been running in the top 5 a good portion of the day, found himself at the back of the pack after a tire rub sent the Robert Babb + Sons driver down pit road.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Youngster Derek Griffith would find himself in the lead, after starting from the 19<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> spot.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>To the delight of the crowd, Griffith held his own, but both Gelinas and Babb were knocking one more time late in the race.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Gelinas would overtake Griffith, and fend off a threat from Babb on a late restart, to pick up his second career victory with the GSPSS.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Babb, who started 16<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> on the field, would settle for second, while Griffith held onto third.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>East Walpole, MA driver Craig Weinstein ran a clean race, and picked up the fourth spot, while Moltz held on to fifth.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Keith Caruso, Matt Frahm, George Helliwell, Barry Gray, and Tommy O\u2019Sullivan completed the top 10.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gelinas credited patience for his Gate City Classic.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI watched things as they happened, and took the spots when I could,\u201d stated Gelinas.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cBabb raced well with me, and gave me some breaks.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019ll remember that.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>It was a good race.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Gelinas has two second place finishes to go along with his Gate City Classic victory, but isn\u2019t ready to put it on cruise control just yet.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cYou can\u2019t take that for granted.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>A lot of it is luck.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>We are lucky, we haven\u2019t had any mechanical issues so far; we just have to keep our fingers crossed.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Babb, his second place finish is his best career finish with the Granite State Pro Stock Series to date.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>On coming up through the field twice, Babb knew he\u2019d be there at the end.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI rode the outside when everyone was pinching on the bottom, and I knew we had a good car,\u201d Babb said.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI think I had the best car on a long run, but either way, second is a good day!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Griffith, just 17 years old, liked how the race played out.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cTonight was old-school racing, I like that!<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The car was on rails all night.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>If it wasn\u2019t for Louie (Mechalides), my dad, Eric and Peter working on the car, it would never be this good!\u201d<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Griffith dedicated this race to Nicole Jacques, a friend of the family, who lost her life at 14 years old to a form of liver cancer just last month.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
