Third Win Of Season For Points Leader
Loudon, NH — Ted Christopher reached Victory Lane at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the fifth time in his NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour career, and 10th time overall, Saturday evening in the New Hampshire 100.
Christopher, who finished second to Chuck Hossfeld by just .001 seconds in the New England 100 at New Hampshire in June, garnered his third win of the 2008 season and extended his points lead in the process.
“Last time – to lose by inches – it was definitely hard to take, but this thing today was really good,” Christopher said. “My car was rolling through the center so much better, and came off real good, it was a really good car.”

Seekonk, MA — Mother Nature dropped raindrops over southern New England Friday night just as teams were unloading for competition, forcing the Fast Friday Series championships to be decided with one final event. With the loss of their second event of the season, the points leaders only have one last shot to hang on.
With the Pure Stocks racing in their most competitive season to date, Scott Cestodio of Swansea is trying to hold off defending champion Bill Chouinard, also from Swansea, who led the point standings for the first half of the season. With a late season surge, and three wins to his credit, Cestodio has ridden a wave of top five finishes to take over the top of the championship standings. With one final event left on the schedule, he currently has a 16 point cushion over Chouinard, who has four wins himself. Tom Blackwell of Taunton is third, 42 points out of the lead, and still has a mathematical chance at the title. He is still looking for that first win. John Robidoux of Swansea is fourth with one win this season, 69 points out, while Bob Hinckley of Acushnet rounds out the top five. Bob picked up his first two wins this season.
