Fournier Holds Off Darling for His First Win of the Season
SEEKONK, Mass. — A look back in time gave Colbey Fournier exactly what he needed Saturday night at Seekonk Speedway. Fournier dusted off a notebook filled with notes, applied some adjustments to his No. 16 Pro Stock, and hung on over the final few laps to capture his first win of the 2025 season on NASCAR Saturday night.
Fournier was out front in the final stages with eight-time champion Dave Darling starting to close the gap. As the field crossed the white flag, Darling was underneath Fournier, trying to find the way around. But, as the field came to the checkered flag, Fournier was able to hang on. He beat Darling by .063 seconds across the stripe to take down his first win of the season.
Darling finished second, with defending champion Dylan Estrella scoring a third-place run. Recent winner Nick Lascuola was fourth, followed by Vinnie Arrenegado. Mark Jenison, Jacob Burns, Bobby Pelland III, Andrew Gomes, and Daryl Stampfl rounded out the top-10.
The Pro Stocks will be back on the track for the finale of the Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series, set for 65 laps, on Saturday, August 9. For more information on Seekonk Speedway, visit SeekonkSpeedway.com and follow the track on social media.
Clean & Green: Lebrun Back in Late Model Victory Lane
SEEKONK, Mass. — Defending Seekonk Speedway Late Model champion Luke LeBrun was back on top Saturday night at the Action Track of the East.
LeBrun started sixth in the 30-lap contest, one that went the entire distance without a caution flag. That worked perfectly for LeBrun, who charged up the outside lane to get to the front, then drove around Mark Jenison for the lead and never looked back.
LeBrun’s victory comes after a few weeks of struggles for the No. 27, but the defending champion seems to have righted the ship.
Mark Jenison returned to the Late Model podium in the runner-up spot, followed by Chase Belcher, who also worked his way up through the field to finish third. Connor Souza and Richie Murray rounded out the top-five after 30 laps.
Brittany Campbell, Bobby Pelland III, Josh Hedges, Andrew Gomes and Charlie Rose finished the top-10.
The Late Models will be back on the track for the finale of the Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series, set for 45 laps, on Saturday, August 9. For more information on Seekonk Speedway, visit SeekonkSpeedway.com and follow the track on social media.
