N. Haverhill, NH\u2019s O\u2019Donnell entered the fray in the final 10 circuits and began working Badore\u2019s outside with three laps to go.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But Badore fended him off to take the win and the $800 progressive Maplewood Triple Crown bonus after winning his heat and the semi-feature earlier in the evening. Badore is the first Triple Crown winner since the program was re-introduced earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was getting a little nervous when I looked up in my mirror and saw Gervais and O\u2019Donnell,\u201d Badore said. \u201cAnd then I looked up at the scoreboard and saw that we still had five laps left. It felt like those five laps were about 20 laps.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just wanted that win so bad,\u201d he add. \u201cThe race could not get over quick enough. This is huge to end the year on a good note \u2013 especially winning the Triple Crown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Donnell finished second to take a commanding point lead with just two races remaining. Gervais was third followed by Scott Dragon and John Donahue. Phil Scott, Matt White, Jason Corliss, Cody Blake, and Jim Morris rounded out the top-10.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wolcott\u2019s Brendan Moodie picked up his fourth win of the season in the two-segment Bond Auto Tiger Sportsman feature. Moodie finished seventh in the 23-lap first segment and third in the 22-lap second segment, winning a tiebreaker with rookie Stephen Donahue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donahue finished second in the first segment and mounted a comeback after shutting down in the opening laps of the second segment with wiring problems, but stalled out in the final laps. Moodie moved into a tie with Joe Steffen for third on the all-time Tiger Sportsman win list with his 13<sup>th<\/sup> career victory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Segment 2 winner Christopher Pelkey beat Dylan Payea for third in another tiebreaker. Mike Martin, Jason Woodard, Brian Delphia, Cameron Ouellette, Steffen, and Segment 1 winner Tommy Smith finished fifth through 10<sup>th <\/sup>overall. Moodie unofficially moved within two point of Woodard in the overall point standings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Merchant dominated the 25-lap Allen Lumber Street Stock feature from the pole for his first career win. Rookie Reilly Lanphear finished second while Jennifer Getty snuck by Kevin Streeter for third during a yellow-and-checkered situation on the final lap. Richard Gravel, Brandon Gray, Jamie Davis, Will Hennequin, Donny Yates, and Matthew Smith completed the top 10. Davis unofficially is now tied with Jaden Perry for the points lead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Colby Philbrick won the four-cylinder division in the Run-What-U-Brung, while Bob Lestage won the eight-cylinder division.
