Paul Tuthill Leads Flag to Flag at Monadnock Speedway

By admin June 8, 2009 ALNRS, Monadnock

Newburgh, NY — Washingtonville, NY driver Paul Tuthill used the full moon to his advantage as he picked up his third win in four races of the 2009 ALNRS. Tuthill started on the pole and never looked back as he led every circuit of the 30 lap feature.  The full moon wasn’t as forgiving to the rest of the field as the caution was shown six times over the course of the race.

The first coming out as early as lap 3 for a single car spin by local Troy, New Hampshire driver Nathan Johnson in his #5 Johnson Roofing Ford Thunderbird.  It was green flag racing until lap 11 when Michael Vasquez, Sr. lost control of his #8 KMV Racing & V-Twin Performance Ford Thunderbird in turns 3 & 4 for the third time over the course of the day.  The third caution of the night on lap 18 would end Vasquez’s nite for good as he got together with aDP Rivet Rookie of the Year contender Emily Packard of East Montpelier, VT in her #9 Northstar Fireworks Chevy Monte Carlo. The two got together exiting turn four and tried to knock down the front stretch wall. Needless to say the wall won and both had to be removed from the track with the assistance of a wrecker.

The restart on lap 19 would bring out the fourth caution for an incident involving Taunton, MA driver Mickey D’Agostino and Wakefield, NH driver Melissa Fifield.  The lap 23 caution was brought out due to a spin by Dighton, MA driver James Logan who lost the handling on his #44 G. Lopes Construction Ford Thunderbird, while running up front.  The 6th and final caution of the night was brought out after Eric Bourgeois who was on his way to another top three finish had a mechanical failure causing him to lose control of his #88 KMV Racing & EB Exterminating Ford. Unfortunately for Logan he was also caught up the caution which ended the night early for both drivers.  At the checkers it was Tuthill followed by last weeks winner Shane D’Agostino.  Rounding out the top three was Sommers, CT driver Cody Gneiting.

The ALNRS will be off for the next two weeks as they prepare for the North/South Shoutout on June 27 at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, NC.  This race will pit the top New England Legacy drivers against the top Southern series drivers.
