RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — In the 30-lapper for the street stocks, Dave Antos scored his second win in eight days at Riverhead Raceway on Sunday.
This was the first of the Miller Lite Triple Crown Series events for the street stocks and mini stocks.
Qualifying for the street stocks saw Jarrod Hayes quickest in the Roger Oxee-owned entry, clicking off a lap of 14.194, just off the track record held by Antos. Hayes and Antos would line up in the front row after Antos was second in qualifying with a lap of 14.211.
When the green lights came on it was Antos making a power move to the outside down the front chute to outrace Hayes to turn one and the race lead. Antos, who with his May 14th win became the all-time leading winner in the class with ten, quickly started building a comfortable lead out front.
Meanwhile, Hayes and Chris Lescenski battled for second with Lescenski taking the spot just prior to the 10-lap mark.
As the race wore on, Antos kept building on his lead. The only thing that could possible change that would be a caution.
On lap 22 the yellow flag waved for Gerard Lawrence, who lost power in the racing groove off turn two.
This was the scenario that second-place runner Lescenski had hoped would play out. However, when the green flag reappeared Antos picked up where he left off.
The dominant driver in the JTEC Electric Chevy drove off to career win No. 11. Â
Lescenski was runner-up in the Eastport Feeds Chevy, while Brian McCormack was third in the Robo Car Wash Monte Carlo.
In mini stock action it was a clean sweep for Tony Collinsworth, who served notice he would be the driver to beat when he set fast time with a lap of 14.722.
Much like Antos in the street stocks, Tony Collinsworth had a dominating Walls of Fame Chevy Cobalt as he quickly raced his way out to the lead with Justin Squires in tow.
The race would be a non-stop affair, which was just fine with leader Collinsworth who began to stretch out his advantage as the laps wore on.
Second place Squires had his hands full as the race moved along with challenges from Andrew Farnham and C.J. Zukowski.
Without a caution flag to bunch up the field, it would turnout to be a Sunday drive for Tony Collinsworth who earned his second career win.
Squires withstood late race pressure for runner-up honors in his CRC Video Surveillance Honda, while Andrew Farnham was third.
In the bandit bandoleros event, defending champion Darren Krantz Jr. led all 15 laps for his division-leading 5th career win.
Chevy Rommeney won the outlaw bandoleros with Will Sipala closely behind him.
Jarrett Campbell won the 40-lap Truck Enduro main event, with Phil LaManna in second.
Pat Collins scored the 8-cylinder enduro 50-lap feature over Greg Harris.
Chris Olivari earned his second career Gut & Go Enduro win when he came out on top in the 60-lap feature.Â
