In Winston Cup action at Michigan, Jeff Gordon was the Busch Pole sitter and he went on to record the 100th Winston Cup win for Hendrick Motorsports.

  Ten years ago in 2006 it looked like the proposed domed speedway in Plainfield, CT was a dead issue as town zoning commissioners voted 4-1 to eliminate a controversial one-year-old development district that incorporated 822 acres east of Interstate 395 near exits 87 and 88. The commission voted unanimously to also repeal the supporting zoning regulations that enabled the district to be established.. New England Raceway LLC, a Trumbull, CT-based firm, originally proposed the development district, which was commonly referred to as the C5 zone. Developer Eugene Arganese, who had previously all been run out of North Stonington, spent the better part of the summer of 2004 garnering support for the zoning concept and his proposal to build a nearly $400 million domed auto racetrack. After a first failed attempt in November 2004, Arganese was successful in getting the regulations passed and the zoning map amended to establish the district with the Plainfield Greyhound Park on Lathrop Road at its anchor. He secured options on hundreds of acres in the area with promises to purchase the properties for prices much higher than market value once he received all necessary approvals for his project. Arganese, who did not attend the previous week’s meeting, had never filed an application for his proposed 140,000-seat racetrack. In May, the LeBlanc family on 226 Lathrop Road filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Arganese. Family members allege he failed to purchase their property for the $894,700 he promised by Dec. 31, 2005.
  The Thompson Speedway was scheduled to start it’s Thursday night Thunder Series but after close to five inches of rain fell on the speedway track owner Don Hoenig had no choice but to cancel the event.
  The Stafford Motor Speedway was the scene of Summer Blast-Off Night on Friday as the weatherman finally gave the speedway a break. In the consecutive win category, Jeff Baral racked up his second consecutive SK Modified feature win while Woody Pitkat took home his third consecutive Late Model feature win. Shelly Perry was the winner of the 20-lap SK Light Modified feature event, George Nocera, Jr. was the winner of the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature, Steve Berardi was the 15-lap DARE Stock feature winner, and Woody Pitkat was the winner of the Late Model 16 feature.
  Conspicuous by his absence from the SK Modified feature was Ted Christopher. Christopher had planned on competing at Stafford until federal and state marshals raided his race shop in Plainville, CT on Friday morning taking six cars plus truckloads of racing related equipment and parts. The racecars that he drove belonged to Danbury Connecticut businessman Jim Galante. Galante was arrested Friday with others as part of a federal investigation into organized crime's influence over the trash hauling business. Galante also owns the Danbury Trashers hockey team. Christopher is Stafford’s all time feature winner plus a top contender on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Series.
  At the Waterford Speedbowl on Saturday night, Shawn Monahan survived seven restarts after starting on the pole and became the seventh different SK-Modified feature winner of the season. Monahan, who battled defending champion Rob Summers most of the way, secured one of two guaranteed spots for the upcoming True Value Modified Series 100. Summers had a Whelen Modified Tour commitment in Jennerstown, PA giving the second True Value spot to Monahan’s brother Diego, a winner earlier in the season. Diego, who finished third, fought off Rob Janovic and Dennis Gada over the final seven laps. Other winners included Tim Jordan (30-lap Late Model), Dwayne Dorr (20-lap Sportsman) and Ken Cassidy (20-lap Mini Stock).
  The Busch East, formerly Busch North Series, got its new beginning on Saturday night at the Greenville- Pickens Speedway in South Carolina. Live HD Net TV coverage and a purse of $118,911 served as another slap in the face to the Whelen Modified Tour Series. Sean Caisse, the 2005 Sunoco Rookie of the Year, won his first career NASCAR Grand National Division, Busch East Series race. Caisse, driving for four-time champion Andy Santerre, took the lead for the final time on lap 142 of An American Revolution 150 presented by Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet. A near-capacity crowd at NASCAR’s second–oldest speedway, including racing legends David Pearson and Jack Ingram, enthusiastically enjoyed the classic short track bumping, grinding, and three-wide racing on the nearly flat half mile track where the first live NASCAR telecast on a major network took place 35 years ago. Brian Hoar, Mike Olsen, Matt Kobyluck, and Bryon Chew completed the top five
  Denny Hamlin did a NASCAR version of a spin and win and captured his first ever NEXTEL Cup victory at Pocono Raceway in the Pocono 500. Hamlin led all but one lap of the first 51 when he lost a left rear tire going into the tunnel turn. After managing to keep it off both walls, his crew did yeoman's work both keeping that car on the lead lap and keeping it fast and that was all he needed as he went on to register a dominant victory. Denny led 6 times for 83 laps and posted a 1.328 margin of victory. Kurt Busch finished second with Tony Stewart, third. Carl Edwards drove to a dominating win in the Federated Auto Parts 300 in Nashville, TN. He unofficially led 70 of the last 85 laps, and beat Clint Bowyer to the finish by .920 seconds. It was Edwards' second win in the last three Busch races.

  Five years ago in 2011, The Whelen Modified Tour went back on Spring Break for another four weeks before returning to action with the Monadnock 200 on June 25 at Monadnock Speedway in Winchester, N.H.
  Some of the tour regulars were not content to stay idle as they ventured to the Thompson Speedway Thursday night for a 40 lap open competition shoot out. Fifteen tour type Modifieds were on hand for the first of three events planned for 2011. Todd Szegedy, who started fourth, took the lead for the second and final time at lap 25 and held off a hard charging Ted Christopher at the finish. Christopher who was debuting a new car that had just been finished by Troyer Engineering, started on the pole position but on the long chutes of Thompson the Jack Roush Ford prevailed with its superior horsepower.
  Ryan Preece finished a strong third with Mike Stefanik, fourth. Steven Reed, who had traveled north from New Jersey, finished a distant fifth.
In the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, National Champion Keith Rocco drove to victory lane in the Sunoco Modified Feature for his second win of the season. The victory put Rocco, who is the divisions first repeat winner this season, in the early season point lead.Danny Cates finished second with Ted Christopher, third. Preece and Rick Fuller rounded out the top five. Tough luck fell upon Todd Ceravolo who had his motor go sour on the parade lap.
  Other Thursday night winners at Thompson were Cam McDermott who scored his second consecutive win in the 20-lap Thompson Modified feature, Rick Gentes in the Late Models, Shawn Monahan in the Limited Sportsman while Danny Field made it four for four in Mini Stock action.
  The fields of cars continued to be a somewhat sore spot. Rick Fuller joined the field of Sunoco Modifieds but the count remained at nine. There were 10 Thompson Modifieds, fifteen tour type Modifieds, 10 Late Models along with 24 Limited Sportsman and 22 Mini Stocks.
  Ted Christopher had been a part of the SK Modified division since almost day one. He has seen it evolve from a so-called used car division with home made motors to just about being a full fledged NASCAR Tour Modified. Originally the division rules dictated cast iron cylinder heads with stock valve springs. When competitors started twisting the motors too much the valve springs broke. Rules makers relented to competitor demands for racing valve springs and the cost went up from there. Said Christopher, "The biggest mistake Thompson made was going with motor rules that are different than those at Stafford and Waterford" He added, "during the years of the Tri-Track Series many of us ran all three tracks with the same motors and the same tires, that was affordable racing and all three tracks had good fields of cars" With the Thompson motor rules the way they are now there are maybe five or six competitors who can actually handle the speed. "Its real simple, just watch", he said, "there is a big difference between the top five or six and the rest of the field so after a while some just give up and stay home", he added. "Hopefully the Speedway management will get the rules more in line with Stafford and Waterford which will go a long way in bringing back bigger fields of cars."
  The Stafford Motor Speedway enjoyed clear but chilly skies on Friday night. During the week a tornado touched down in nearby Monson, MA and did considerable damage. Those who live in the Stafford area said that all they saw was a little wind and a lot of rain. On the track was another story. Hot off his win at Thompson on Thursday night Keith Rocco carried the momentum over to Stafford as he scored his second consecutive victory in the 40-lap SK Modified® feature event, Woody Pitkat took his second consecutive victory in the 30-lap Late Model feature, Joey Cipriano came home the big winner in a thrilling duel for the win to pick up his second win of the season in the 20-lap SK Light Modified feature, Norm Sears picked up his second feature win of the season in the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature, and Josh Wood picked up his first feature victory of the 2011 season in the 15-lap DARE Stock feature.
  Ted Christopher took second from Ryan Preece at the white flag, but Rocco was able to hold him off at the checkered flag to pick up his second consecutive win and his third win of the 2011 season. Rounding out the top-5 behind Rocco and Christopher was Preece, Woody Pitkat, and Reen.
In action at the Waterford Speedbowl, the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series action was highlighted by a 50-lap Mini Stock race, captured by Ken Cassidy Jr., his second consecutive victory and third on the year in the division. Tyler Chadwick came out on top of the SK Modified® feature, holding back the last lap charges of Kyle James. Calvin Rose of Turner, ME dominated the second half of the 50-lap Northeast Mini Stock Tour race, going on to the win. Josh Galvin won his second Street Stock race on the season, Dan D’addario won the X-Car feature and Rose returned to victory lane to win the open-comp four cylinder race to close out the night’s festivities.
  Keith Rocco's bid to make it three for three on the weekend was spoiled by an early race tangle in the SK Modified feature.
  In the Southland at the Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC, Chris Fleming drew the pole position for the nights 100 lap Modified main event and stayed up front until Jonathan Brown passed him in the 34th lap. Brown led until the 85th lap, when he slowed on a restart and triggered a multi-car pileup. Fleming slipped past and led the rest of the way. Joseph Brown finished second and Burt Myers, who retained his lead in the season standings, was third. Jonathan Brown finished fourth.
  The stadium also hosted NASCAR's K&N Pro Series East which turned into a rolling demolition derby. Matt DiBenedetto took the lead at the start and remained up front avoiding the carnage behind him in a wreck-filled Army Strong 150. Eighty-seven of the 156 laps were run under caution.
At the Riverhead Raceway on Long Island, Dave Brigati was the Modified feature winner.
  A special high paying open competition Modified race was held at the Star Speedway in Epping, NH. Its a shame that only 16 showed for the event but those that did went home with an ample payday thanks to Kevin Rice and those who worked with him to make the event a success.
Laticrete 125 winner Jon McKennedy went home with $7,225. Second place finisher Chris Pasteryak collected $2,875, third place James Civali took home $2,800 and fourth place finisher Andy Seuss pocketed $1,775. Rounding out the top five was Ryan Preece who got $3,215. Sixth through tenth were Matt Hirschman, Rob Summers, Lou Mechalides, Ted Christopher and Rowan Pennink.
  In Nationwide Series racing at the Chicagoland Speedway, Justin Allgaier saw Carl Edwards' car start to wobble as it ran out of fuel. And that's when Allgaier knew he would be able to get around him.
  Allgaier made his move for the lead coming into the third turn and once he got by, his tank was empty, too. Somehow the momentum from having just a little bit more fuel allowed Allgaier to coast to the finish line Saturday night with Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne closing fast on both cars.
At the Kansas Speedway Brad Keselowski led the final nine laps for his second Sprint Cup victory in 66 races.
  Sprint Cup car owner Richard Childress was fined $150,000 on Monday for assaulting Kyle Busch, the latest incident in an ongoing feud between NASCAR's most polarizing driver and Childress' race teams. NASCAR also placed Childress on probation through the end of the year, finding the team owner solely at fault for Saturday's incident at Kansas Speedway. The 65-year-old grandfather apparently approached Busch after the Trucks race, placed him in a headlock, and punched him several times.
  The 7th Annual Norwood Arena Reunion at Bezema Motors was the most successful one yet. The dealership on the Automile was packed with an overflow of fans, former competitors, race, classic and muscle cars as well as hot rods. Among the drivers in attendance were Steve Delaney of Dedham, Daryl Stampfl of Norwood, Jeff Lynch of Townsend, Gary Sager of Seekonk, Henry Stampfl of Plainville, Mike McCullen, Demo Derby King Bob Anderson of Brockton, Pete Desjardins of Cape Cod, 1970 Daytona 500 winner, Pete Hamilton of Maine, Joe Rosenfield, Jr. of Bridgewater, Jim Rosenfield of Middleboro, Fran Voss of Lexington, Jack Malone of Needham, Leo Cleary of Hanover, Bob Healey of Stoughton, George Savory of Westwood, Jerry Capozolli of Stoughton, Jeff Horn of Ashland, George Summers of Upton, Don McCoullough of Walpole, Lew Boyd of Newburyport and Joey Kourafas of Randolph. Former Norwood Arena Chief Steward Carl Merrill of Newton was also on hand.

  Last year, 2015, The stars and cars of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Series made their second stop of the season at the Stafford Motor Speedway on Friday night. Ryan Preece made it two in a row as he won the TSI Harley-Davidson 125. Preece took the lead on Lap 2 from pole sitter Doug Coby and led all but six laps. Woody Pitkat and Timmy Solomito finished second and third, respectively. Todd Szegedy finished fourth and Bobby Santos in fifth. Sixth thru tenth were Ted Christopher, Rowan Pennink, Keith Rocco, Patrick Emerling and Tom Rogers Jr.
  There were 5 lead changes among 3 drivers. Preece took the lead for the final time on lap 107. Woody Pitkat used a power move to the inside of Timmy Solomito in the final turn on the final lap to steal the runner-up spot, while Solomitio hung on for third.
  Coby, who had been running fifth in the closing laps was sent to the rear for rough riding after triggering a wreck on lap 118. He came back to finish 13th. Fourteen of the original 31 starters were on the lead lap at the finish.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will next get the green on Wednesday, June 10 for the Mr. Rooter 125 at Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park.
  In regular weekly action at Stafford it was features only. Taking down NASCAR Whelen All-American Series weekly feature were Rowan Pennink, who picked up his third win of the 2015 season in the SK Modified® feature, Tom Fearn scored his second consecutive victory in the Late Model feature, Nick Salva was a first time winner in 2015 in the SK Light Modified feature, Andrew Hayes got his first win of 2015 in the Limited Late Model feature, Zack Robinson was a first time career winner in the DARE Stock feature, and Devin O’Connell picked up his second win of the 2015 season in the Legend Cars feature.
  In the SK Modified 40 lapper, Pennink took the lead from Christopher with a move in turn 4 with Joey Cipriano following suit getting around Christopher to drop him back to third place. The caution came out with 36 laps complete as Christopher’s car got turned into the frontstretch wall. Pennink powered into the lead on the restart with Preece locked in a side by side fight for second with Cipriano. Preece got clear to second on lap-37 while Cipriano was now trying to hold off Keith Rocco and Reen. Pennink led Preece back to the checkered flag to pick up his third win of the season. Cipriano held off Rocco in a photo finish for third, with Glen Reen rounding out the top-5.
  Keith Rocco keeps rolling along at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl as he continues to build on his record setting feature win total. Rocco recorded his third SK Modified win of the season at the shoreline oval bringing his track win total to 109 wins. The win also brought Rocco closer to a career overall total of 200 wins which now total 197 which also include victories at Thompson and Stafford Speedways.
  The SK Modified win by Rocco at the speedbowl was pretty much a cake walk as he beat out Rob Janovic and Ted Christopher. Rocco finished a close second to Jason Palmer in the Late Model feature. Other feature winners were Mark Panaroni (Mini Stocks), Chris Correll (SK Lights), Al Stone III (Limited Sportsman), Randy Cabral (NEMA Lites) and Toby Wells (North East Mini Stock Tour).
  The SK Modified event was 35 laps and Timmy Jordan was the man to take the early lead with Paul Kusheba right behind him ready to take the lead away. Rocco took the lead with 19 laps remaining in the event. The first caution came out with 14 laps remaining in the event. Rocco took the lead on the restart and never trailed from that position. following Christopher in the SK Modified event was Tim Jordan and Tyler Chadwick.
