Steven Jones led a strong field of 21 Pro Series cars to the green flag jumping into the early lead.  <\/span>Bill Whorff was having a very strong race and pulled even with Jones in a battle for the lead on lap 6.    <\/span>Whorff took over the top spot at lap 9 but Jones and Whorff made contact sending both cars spinning and handing the lead to Dan McKeage.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

McKeage would hold the lead through lap 13 but Mike Rowe had moved to second place and had McKeage in his cross hairs looking for that fourth consecutive win.  <\/span>Rowe pulled to the outside of McKeage on lap 14 and took the lead with Trevor Sanborn moving to second place.  <\/span>Rowe would go on to take the win with Sanborn second and McKeage third.  <\/span>Bill Rodgers and Aaron Ricker were fourth and fifth.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Travis Buzzell won his first career Sport Series feature race cruising to the victory.  <\/span>Buzzell led from the pole position and despite a lap 6 caution flag was never challenged for the lead.  <\/span>When the checkered flag waved Buzzell had a full straight lead over second place finisher Nate Leavitt with the race for third place coming to the finish line looking like a pace lap.  <\/span>Third was awarded to Dalton Gagnon with Ben Tinker fourth.  <\/span>Robert Emery took fifth place honors.   <\/span>Russ Morse clinched his first division championship.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Randy Snow was looking like a feature winner several weeks ago when a mechanical problem forced him out of the race with just a few laps remaining while leading.  <\/span>On Saturday night Snow took down an hard fought victory after a 26 alp side by  <\/span>side duel with Brian Caswell.   <\/span>David Wildes was the third place finisher with Steve Benincasa fourth. Dan Bean took fifth place.  <\/span>Lyman McKeage struggled home with a 16th<\/sup> place finish but that was enough to win the Wildcat championship.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Brian Graffam creamed the Road Runner division winning by a quarter of a lap.  <\/span>The race for second place between Shawn Brackett and Ray Letellier was also the race for the championship.  <\/span>Letellier would finish second with Brackett third.  <\/span>Dave Cameron and Matt Dow rounded out the top 5 finishers and the third place finish for Brackett won him his second consecutive division crown.<\/font><\/p>\n
