N. WOODSTOCK, N.H. — Patriotic fervor brings the excitement out at the racetrack and Saturday night at White Mountain Motorsports Park was no different.
Former champion Jason Woodard and longtime New England standout Joey Laquerre would start round two for the Central Asphalt Flying Tiger Triple Crown Series at the front of the pack.
Woodard would quickly take off with the lead, but his motor would take off from him on lap 14. Sputtering and skipping across the line, Woodard flew sideways in turn one to call out the first caution, his day ended with an uncooperative engine. White Mountain rivals Brandon Gray and John Donahue were left to lead the field back to green, putting on hard racing at the front before Gray took the upper hand.
With Gray extending his lead, second through tenth were nose-to-tail and tight as could be, each looking for the slightest advantage on the others.
The final caution would fly on lap 69 for the spinning Jim Paquette in turn four for a final six-lap shootout. Gray would ultimately get the jump and cross the line first to take his fifth-straight win of the season. Donahue would take second followed by Thunder Road invader Mike MacAskill on his second-straight third-place finish in extra-distance Flying Tiger competition.
