Waterford, CT — Two championship races – the Super X and the X Car – remain unsettled as the popular Wild n’ Wacky Wednesday series concludes its 2007 campaign this week. Super X leader John Yagmin is 22 up on Greg Moran Jr. with red-hot Steve Barrett still in the picture as well heading into the Super X 20 lapper. X Car leader Brad Voglesong is still within the reach of Mark Caise (-22) and Patrick Williams (-24) heading into that 20 lapper.
Buddy Brouwer has clinched the X-Modified crown and Jason Palmer needs only to start to clinch sole position of the Legends prize. There’s still much to be settled, however, in both those divisions.

Canaan, NH — A gorgeous Labor Day afternoon, greeted a good crowd of race fans at the Canaan Motorsports Complex in Canaan, New Hampshire, as the Pro All Star Series invaded the 1/3 mile Speedway with their PASS Outlaw Late Models, PASS Mods, PASS Pullen Industries Limited Sportsman, and a four cylinder open. Winners on the day included Walt Hammond, Jason Taylor, George Baldwin and Mark Childs Jr.
The Outlaw Late Models took center stage with a 100 lap main event. By virtue of his heat win, Mike Harnish grabbed the early lead, and held the field at bay til just past the half way point in the event. Alan Wilson and Walt Hammond were challenging on each restart, but never could quite get the jump on Harnish. On lap fifty-four, Harnish apparently missed a shift and fell deep into the field. Wilson was off like a rocket, when suddenly his car careened off the backstretch into the barrier, ending his day. A flat right front tire caused the mishap. This sent Hammond to the point, a position he wouldn’t relinquish for the remainder of the event. Hammond’s margin of victory was nearly a full straightaway. Following Hammond to the line were Jay Sands, Donnie Lashua, Jimmy Rosenfield and Mike Harnish. Heat checkers flew for Harnish, Wilson and Jimmy Renfrew.

Winchester, NH — This season, Greg Stoehr of E. Bridgewater, MA, has been knocking on the door of victory lane. On Saturday night, he let himself in by winning the 25-lap feature event at Monadnock Speedway in Winchester, NH. Stoehr has posted several top finishes this season including runner-up finishes at both Thompson Speedway and the Waterford Speedbowl. Mechanical woes stopped Stoehr in his tracks at what could have been a promising race at the Stafford Motor Speedway. Nothing could stand in Stoehr’s way at the fast quarter-miler as the veteran driver went on to capture his first victory since rejoining the Club full-time in 2005.
The Northeastern Midget Association only had four days turn around time after last Wednesday’s mid-week spectacular at Seekonk Speedway that was won by Lou Cicconi. Saturday’s event at Monadnock Speedway was rescheduled after rain forced the postponement of the event originally scheduled for June 9, 2007. With great efforts by all, Stoehr and the rest of the NEMA contingent were for up for the challenge.
