A
Modified track since well before the formation of
the Whelen Modified Tour, Riverhead has been on the
schedule in each of the Tour's 26 years of
existence. Only Connecticut's Thompson International
Speedway can claim the same distinction. After
competing at the Monadnock Speedway quarter mile in
New Hampshire on July 17, the Whelen Modified Tour's
next stop will also be at a .25-mile oval. Aside
from the distance, there are few similarities as
Riverhead has less banking and is more narrow than
Monadnock. In addition to the uniqueness of the
track, the Riverhead stop for the Whelen Modified
Tour is also set apart from other events on the
schedule as a number of Riverhead's weekly NASCAR
Whelen All-American Series competitors enter the
race, and they've had measurable success....
This
Sunday evening August 1st the Shangri – La II Motor
Speedway will host their second Race of Champions
Dart Asphalt Modified Tour event of the year as they
host round two of the Championship Series. A full
show of heats, B Main, and a 100 lap feature event
will be showcased for the asphalt Modifieds. Earlier
this year in the first race of the year at Shangri –
La II Chuck Hossfeld made a late race inside pass of
Pete Brittain to claim the feature win. All of the
stars and cars of the Race of Champions Dart Asphalt
Modified Tour are expected....
Ever
since the first visit of the NASCAR Whelen Modified
Tour back in 1985 at Barbara & Jim Cromarty's
Riverhead Raceway, Long Island race fans have looked
forward to when the cars and stars of the traveling
circuit visit the historic quarter mile oval. The
excitement is again building towards this Saturday
evening when the Riverhead 200 will be contested
with $5,000 awaiting the winner. Jimmy Spencer of
Berwick, Pa won the very first NASCAR WMT event at
Riverhead some 26-years ago, and everyone wonders
who will be the latest driver to write their name
into the record books?....
The
Modified Racing Series (MRS) migrated this week from
Maine to the 1/3 mile paved oval of Canaan Fair
Speedway in northern New Hampshire. The track is
nothing fancy when it comes to speedways, but it is
a fast track with a lot of grip and the modified
drivers love it. Eric Goodale, who has pledged to
run the MRS when he has an opening in his race
schedule, was the king of the Canaan groove Saturday
night. He won his heat race, started the race third,
passed for the lead on lap 12, dominated the race
and then went on to take the checkered flag for his
first MRS win. “Right from the beginning I knew that
we had a good car,” said Goodale. "As soon as we
unloaded (the car) out of the trailer we were fast.
As soon as I went out there I got it in the first
five laps, which was crucial"....
Starting
third in a 24 car field, Eric Goodale of Wading
River, NY, took the lead on lap 13 and went on to
win the Modified Racing Series, sponsored by
BobValentiAutoMall.Com, 112 lap, Ricky Miller
Memorial Race, Saturday night, at the Canaan Fair
Speedway, Canaan, NH. It was Goodale’s first win
with the series. He also became the ninth different
winner in ten races this season. Pole sitter Jon
McKennedy East Chelmsford, MA., led the first 12
laps giving up the lead position to Goodale on lap
13. Goodale was pursued by Steven Masse, Bellingham,
MA., for several laps, Mike Holdridge, Madison, CT.,
and then Dwight Jarvis, Ascutney, VT....
As
I said last week, we are all familiar with the angel
on one shoulder and the devil on the other. We know
what is right and want to
do the right thing, but there is still that voice in
there that tells us we can do what we want. Let’s
continue as we close out our discussion of the
internal struggle that challenges each one of us.
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. Have you ever tried to stretch your car to
the end of the race? Avoiding the pit stop and
hoping you had enough to make it. Sometimes we don’t
make it. Sometimes we fall short of the finish line....
Fifty
years ago in 1960 Tommy Fenley, one of the
all time greats that raced at the Kingston
Fairgrounds in Southern Rhode Island made it three
in a row at Stafford Springs on Friday night. Ted
Stack was the Wednesday night Modified winner at
what was then called the New London – Waterford
Speedbowl. Dick Beauregard was the non-Ford winner
and Newt Palm was the Bomber winner. Don Collins was
the Saturday night Modified winner at the shoreline
oval. Stack was the non-Ford winner and Palm
repeated in the Bombers.
