Russ Stoehr Monadnock Winner

Winchester, NH – “It’s the camera thing,” explained Russ Stoehr. “If you don’t see the flash in the corner, you know you’re pretty safe.”

Stoehr (Dumo’s Desire 45) got away from an early battle with Randy Cabral (Bertrand 47) and then went on to a convincing win in the 30-lap Northeastern Midget Association 30-lapper Saturday night at Monadnock Speedway. It was the second win of the season and the 42nd career win for Stoehr.

Greg Stoehr (Stoehr 36) won a long battle with Chris deRitis (deRitis 75) for the third podium spot. Early leader Jim Miller was fifth.

Anthony Nocella, taking advantage of restart with five laps remaining, won the 20-lap NEMA Lites race. Joey Mucciacciaro, the only other leader, was second and Russ Wood Jr. third.

Veteran Jeff Horn violently hit the tires along first turn wall on the initial restart. He was conscious and talking when transported to the hospital.

Running one-two in points, Cabral and Stoehr swapped the lead twice in the early going. Starting outside pole, Stoehr got the lead, lost it to Cabral and then got it back again with an inside move on lap five.

It was pretty loose,” said Stoehr who beat back restart challenges on lap eight and 13. “I tried to keep it on the bottom.”

“I was making adjustments every lap but I had nothing for him,” said Cabral. “I tried to be smart and save my car.”

Stoehr, who posted a fast lap of 11.901, never faltered and won by seven car lengths.

Greg Stoehr and deRitis battled for several laps before Stoehr snuck past on the inside late in the race.

The feature was the continuation of the feature rained out on May 29. There were not heats.

After a hectic schedule – three races in eight days – NEMA gets a week of f before returning to action at Waterford Speedbowl’s Wings and Wheels on Aug. 14.

RESULTS: 1. Russ Stoehr, 2. Randy Cabral, 3. Greg Stoehr, 4. Chris deRitis, 5. Jim Miller, 6. Aaron Wall, 7. Adam Cantor, 8. Mike Horn, 9. Matt O’Brien, 10. Lee Bundy, 11. Paul Scally, 12. John Zych Jr., 13. Brian Cleveland, 14. Jeff Horn.
