Loudon, NH — Joey Logano lead only 10 laps Sunday but came away with his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win at the LENOX Industrial Tools 301.
At age 19 years, one month and four days, he becomes the youngest winner in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series history.
“After yesterday I was bummed out,” said Logano. “But to get the win today is just cool. This is where I watched my first Cup race, where I ran my first Cup race, and where I won my first Cup race, so I couldn’t have picked a better place. This is kind of like a home turf place for me, a lot of family and friends here.” Continue reading ‘Logano Scores First NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Win at LENOX Industrial Tools 301′
Seekonk, MA — On Saturday, June 28, Bill Bernard held on to win his first career Late Model feature in the Phil’s Propane 50. In a race that went green to checker, Bernard fought off a hard charging Gerry DeGasparre in the latter half of the event.
Berkley’s Jake Vanada jumped out front under the double greens, and set the pace for the first several laps. Polesitter Bob Hussey followed Vanada for a few laps before being overtaken by rookie Frank Duquette. Duquette, using the outside lane, picked up the lead at lap seven, but could only keep the NAC Security & Sound System Chevy at the front for one lap before the Ashland Lumber Chevy of Bernard followed on the outside and took over the reigns on lap nine.
Lee, NH — Randy Cabral passed Bertrand Motorsports teammate Ryan Newman coming out of turn two on lap 13 and went on to score a convincing win in Friday night’s 25-lap Northeastern Midget Association feature at Lee USA Speedway.
