Seekonk, MA — In the Fast Friday Series, Pure Stock rookie John A. Robidoux of Swansea, MA, Seekonk Youth Racing Association 750-restrictor plate division championship leader Brian Mondeau of Bridgewater, MA, and SYRA 600 first-year ace Nick Ladyga of Voluntown, CT earned their second feature wins of the 2007 season.
Robidoux, 52, started eighth in the 25-lap main, and had climbed to second by the second lap, trailing only outside polesitter Vinnie Pangelinan. Robidoux put the Sanford and Son Auto Parts #39 to the front of the pack the next time around and would lead all the way to the checkers. Fellow first-year pilot Bob Hinckley claimed third on the third circuit while John Frias, Carlos Silva, and Tom Blackwell went three wide for fourth. Veteran Mark Boisvert dove to the inside the next time around, making it four-wide, and came away with the position.

Stafford Springs, CT — Stafford Motor Speedway returned to Friday night NASCAR racing with the kick-off event to its 2007 September Series, a three-week stretch during September that will lead up to the season ending CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend and determine Stafford’s track champions. Keith Rocco took the SK Modified® feature win, Dillon Moltz won the Late Model feature, Chris Matthews won the SK Light feature, Andrew Durand won the Limited Late Model feature, and Dan Flannery won the DARE Stock feature.
The 40-lap SK Modified® feature took the green with Wade Mattesen charging past Richie Pallai, Jr. to take the early lead. Pallai would battle back by Mattesen on lap-5 to reclaim the lead. Keith Rocco followed Pallai past Mattesen, and Pallai and Rocco ran nose to tail for the lead over the next several laps. Rocco moved by Pallai on a lap-11 restart, and from that point on, he would not be headed at the front of the field as he scored his third SK Modified® feature win of the 2007 season. Kerry Malone finished a distant second to Rocco, with Ted Christopher, Curt Brainard, and Todd Owen rounding out the top-5. NASCAR Whelen All-American Series National Championship hopeful Woody Pitkat, who saw his five race winning streak come to an end last Friday night, suffered through several spins but came back to finish 9th.
