Joey Parker, Jamie Salley, Devin Miranda, Shelby Donovan and Branden Lillie become new 2013 Fast Friday winners
SEEKONK, MA — Joey Parker, Jamie Salley, Devin Miranda, Shelby Donovan and Branden Lillie become new 2013 Fast Friday winners.
“It’s not the way I wanted to win my first feature,” Joey Parker told track announcer Kyle Coppola in his victory interview at the stripe following his lap with the checkered flag in hand. “But I guess I’ll take it.” He had stubbornly pursued Nick Lascoula after leading the first eight circuits in a race that ran caution free for the full 25 laps. At the checkers, Lascoula had led Parker over the line one car ahead. But he had been called for a bad start and track officials penalized Lascoula a single place in the finishing stats, elevating Parker to Victory Lane following the fierce battle. Al Wisialko, Brandon Martinez and Matthew Carpenter completed the top five.

Jamie Salley jumped past polesitter Ed Gould out of turn two on the initial lap of the 30-lap Pure Stocks feature, to grab the lead. Gould flew into a stall and fell rapidly to seventh place over the next two laps before he could recover. Meanwhile, Ed Flanagan grappled onto Salley’s bumper with Bill Doyle all over his back and John Robidoux treating Doyle to the same. Jesse Melberg had come from seventh to fifth to pursue them, got by Robidoux for fourth, and went outside of Doyle for a shot at third. With two to go, Salley was leading a tight parade toward the finish. Salley roared home to the flying checkers, just .281 seconds ahead of the tenacious Doyle. Melberg was another .6 back followed by Robidoux and Heroux.

Devin Miranda and Shawn DeMello raged at each other through the closing laps of the Sport Four feature, including a restart with just three laps remaining in the 25-lap feature. Miranda’s restart from the pole slingshot him away from DeMello, who saw David Westgate bolt by underneath before he could wind up down the outside and climb back onto Miranda’s bumper at the stripe and up alongside down the backstretch. They were wheel-to-wheel as they crossed under the white silk and into the final circuit. DeMello kept it high and bore down through the entire lap as the pair hacksawed the lead into turn three. Coming out of four, Miranda gauged into a small lead which he held through the finish, edging DeMello by the length of a fender. Westgate, Lenny Sousa and Tyler Boudreau followed the leaders across the stripe.
1) Devin Miranda 2) Shawn DeMello 3) David Westgate 4) Lenny Sousa 5) Tyler Boudreau 6) Bob Henry 7) Michael Glad 8) Glen Leduc 9) Gil Bradstreet 10) Eric Pelletier 11) Chris Testa 12) Kim Bickford 13) Nick Mattera 14) Arielle Cerullo 15) Tylar Nailor 16) Chuck McDonald 17) Dave Gargado Jr 18) Henry Lavallee
Shelby Donovan jumped from the outside past polesitter Ashley Kuhn to stake down the lead for 19 of the feature’s 20 laps and claim the win over Christine Cavallaro and Curtis Rolando. Cavallaro, who had started third, edged past Kuhn on lap four and gave chase as Rolando wound his way toward the front from his fifth place starting slot. Rolando was on Cavallaro’s bumper by lap ten and rolled past into second on the next circuit, challenging Donovan for the front thereafter. Over the final laps, Rolando, running the outside lane, would allow Cavallaro a run on the inside, forcing him back to third in the final rundown. Kaitlyn Donovan crossed fourth with Ashley Kuhn fifth.

Fifth place starter Brandon Lillie was in control of the 20-lap SYRA 600 feature by the second circuit and topped the field all the way to the checkers for his first feature win. He controlled the action through a pair of restarts following taking the front and ran home a second-and-a-third ahead of runnerup David White. Doug Meservey, Derrick Debbis and Madison Birchall rounded out the top five.
1) Branden Lillie 2) David White 3) Doug Meservey 4) Derrick Debbis 5) Madison Birchall 6) Shea Kulpa 7) Eric Lebrun 8) Sarah DeMello 9) Evan Taylor 10) Cassie Meservey 11) Kendra Levesque 12) Joey Lembo 13) Matt Barboza 14) Jessica O’Leary 15) Scott Serydynski Jr 16) TJ Morsehead Jr
