Morin Goes Back to Back
PLATTSBURGH – Gage Morin collected his second win of the season in the Egglefield Ford 358-Modified division at Airborne Park Speedway.
24 Machines signed into the garage area for the Modified division on Saturday night.
Morin took the lead on lap-5 and never looked back. A lap-22 yellow flag setup a restart with first time visitor, François Berniér, along side. Morin nailed the start and drove home to victory. Berniér finished second with point leader Chris Raabe, Jake Scarborough and Mike Perrotte finishing in spots three through five.
“We were able to get around some of the faster cars and get to the front early,” Morin said. “We setup the car to be loose at the start and it worked well tonight.”
The Fidelis Care Sportsman division saw a season high car count, with 35 cars attempting to qualify. At the end of the 25 lap feature it was Brandon, VT driver Joey Scarborough collecting the checkers in victory lane.
Adam Gage took the lead at the line on lap-12, but it was short lived, as Scarborough powered his way by on the inside to have the lead at the line on lap-13. Scarborough was stout and pulled away to a convincing victory.
Connor Cleveland closed late for second. Gage, Moïse Pagé and Chris Cayea completed the top five.
Brent Jarvis continued his dominance in the Poirier’s True Value Renegade division. Jarvis scored his sixth win making him a perfect six for six on the season. Jimmy Bushey and Mark Caron completed the top three.
Kris Clark collected his second win in as many attempts in the Busch Beer Mini-Mod division. Ed Bresette and Michael Whalen finished in positions two and three, respectively.
The Strictly Stock division found Michael Daniels in the winners circle for the third time this season. Shawn Walker and Nathan Smart completed the top three.
Racing action resumes next weekend with the Bill McBride Chevrolet and Subaru Fireworks Extravaganza. All five of the regular racing divisions will be on hand plus a gigantic fireworks display that night. Post time for the event is 7 p.m. For more information visit airborneparkspeedway.com or on Facebook at Airborne Park Speedway.
