Claremont: One 2 Go – Daddy’s Pizza Twin 30’s for the Modifieds
Open-wheeled awesomeness headlines the night’s race card with the Daddy’s Pizza Twin 30’s for our Casella Modifieds. Additional monies have been added to the race purse as well as race bonuses for the top 3 for each race. The Tri Track Open Modified Series has also ponied up some cash for their drivers who decide to compete in this event. A HUGE thank you to them! As this is a point race, the starting lineup for the first race will be set by heat races with the field inverted (lead lap cars in the front) in the 2nd race based on their finish from the first. The lowest average finish of both events will be the overall winner with the tiebreaker being the finish in the 2nd race. Last year, Dana Smith was the overall winner with Nick Boivin finishing 2nd and Scott MacMichael placing 3rd.
Dana Smith leads the ground-pounders in points after recording 3 wins in 5 starts. Prospect, CT’s Nick Salva, in the Michaud entry, currently rides 2nd in points only 39 points behind while Chris Bolton is 61 points behind. Last time out on August 25, Dana Smith just barely held off the charging Jeff Murray for the win.

Story Lines for the Week
- A Perfect 10? – Can we hit 10 different winners in 12 races? Ryan Currier and Ben Poland are two have podium finishes but have yet to carry the checkers. Will this week be their time?
- Outside Looking In – It appears we could have a very healthy field of Modifieds for their special event. Will one of the newcomers take home the top prize or will one of the hometown shoes take the win?
- Head of the Class – The Limited Sportsman point battle is going to come right down ‘til the end. The high school seniors, “Polish Prince” Tyler Janovsky and “Hot Stuff” Kenny Thompson, have the month of September to fiqure out who will be the Valedictorian.
Next week we will be running on all cylinders – 4 that is – as the 4-Cylinder Nationals will be held at Claremont Speedway. Entries from all over the Northeast are expected with an anticipated car count to be over 50. This 100 green flag lap race is a $ 1,500 to win affair. Our R.E. Hinkley Super Streets and Pepsi Limited Sportsman will be racing as well.
