Jason Kenison on Top at Riverside Speedway & Adventure Park
8/1/2020 Groveton, NH- Jason Kenison of Groveton drove his DK-N-Sons Chevrolet to victory lane for a second time at Riverside Speedway Saturday night. Kenison got out front early and never looked back to take the win. The battle of the night was for second between Rowdy Brad Bushey and Nick Gilcris. Gilcris looked high and low but couldn’t get around Bushey and settled for third with Bushey second.
The Ekeys4Cars Formula Fours had a different winner this week as Jacob Roy bought the former Dean Switser JR. machine and after a side-by-side run with Jared Blakely got out front for the win. Blakely got loose off turn four and Dan Stinson SR. got by for second and Blakely finished in third.
The White Mountains Community College Bone Stocks 4 cylinder had a rough start with three cautions in the first three laps. Race control then parked them in the infield for two races then brought them back out to finish their race. Ryan Heuser had to slice his way through the field and picked up another win. Jimmy Hurley drove the Belanger Carpentry Chevrolet to second and Kevin Barrup ended the night third. Jason Stinson drove the Josh Riley 09 to fourth and picked up an extra $100 dollars from the Johnson and Fecteau families in memory of Keith Johnson.
