Trevor Sanborn: Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Sanborn Wins 2nd Straight Outing At The Ridge<\/span> <\/p>\n

SCARBOROUGH, Maine — Trevor Sanborn continued his dominance of the 2010 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series season at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday night, winning the track’s 40-lap Pro Series feature. It was Sanborn’s second straight victory to open the season at Beech Ridge, and his 10th career Pro Series win. The race was shortened by rain to 39 laps, and it was unfortunately marked by the untimely passing of multi-time track champion Bub Bilodeau. Bilodeau, an early mentor of Sanborn’s racing career, suffered a heart attack following the event while still in his race car. <\/p>\n

********** <\/p>\n

TREVOR, IT WAS A VERY SHOCKING END TO THE NIGHT LEARNING OF BUB BILODEAU’S PASSING. <\/p>\n

It really was. The only thing that I can think of is that it just feels weird. You never, ever expect something like that to happen, and when it does it’s a total shock. <\/p>\n

I knew Bub really well. I bought my first car from him in 2003, and he worked with me to help me out and set the car up and all of that. We had our ins and outs over the years, that’s for sure, but I always liked him. It’s really hard to believe that this has happened, and we’re all just thinking about his family right now. <\/p>\n

HOW WAS YOUR RACE NIGHT? <\/p>\n

I started dead last, and as we were getting started I told my brother (spotter Corey Sanborn) on the radio, I said, ‘Watch out out front. They’re going to wreck up there. They’re just not going to want to be patient.’ Sure enough, on lap one, five or six of them piled up and then again on the next restart the same thing happened. I was able to pick up a bunch of spots when those (accidents) happened. <\/p>\n

WAS THE CAR JUST AS GOOD AS IT WAS WHEN YOU WON ON OPENING NIGHT LAST WEEK? <\/p>\n

It was. I figured it would be a little different — a little slower because we were all only allowed to buy two (new) tires this week. It was a little slower, but it was still better than everyone else. I think everyone was two- or three-tenths of a second off from the week before, but we were still just really, really good.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
