Roy Stuns Modifieds at Airborne Park; Swamp, Terry, Senecal and Bradley all make stops in victory lane.
PLATTSBURGH, Ny. - Felix Roy won Thursday’s Be Cool Heating and Air Conditioning 358 Modified Feature at Airborne Park over Tim Fuller and George Foley. Fire Swamp, Josh Terry, Ryan Senecal and Jason Bradley also scored wins on the night.
Roy started 4th and quickly passed 3rd starter Patrick Dupree before finding his way around polesitter George Foley. Foley led the opening circuit before giving way to Tanner Siemons on the second lap. Siemons ran the outside lane while Roy made gains in the middle, and by lap eight, Roy made the pass for the lead exiting turn two. He was largely unchallenged for the rest of the race, amassing a comfortable lead over Tim Fuller, who settled into second near the end of the race. Foley held on for 3rd with Steve Bernier and Mike Mahaney completing the top five.
In J&S Steel Sportsman action, Akwesasne, Ny.’s Fire Swamp charged from 9th to 1st in a hurry, scooting around leader Craig Wholey with six laps to go to secure the win. Wholey held on for 2nd with Bucko Branham running up to 3rd from 6th. Codie Aubin was 4th and Joey Scarborough was 5th.
The 9th State Cannabis Renegade Feature was won by Josh Terry. The younger of the racing Terry brothers, his orange #65 started on the front row and drove away with the win. Older brother Tylor wasted no time in getting to Josh’s back bumper, climbing from 7th to 2nd on the bottom lane in just six laps, but a caution flag appeared to slow his roll, and Josh Terry cruised to victory by a few car lengths. Nate Guay registered his third podium of the season in 3rd place with Shawn Duquette and Billy Thwaits rounding out the top five.
Ryan Senecal flew into Egglefield Ford Victory Lane at the end of a challenging Moore Recycling Mini Stock Feature. CJ Belanger led the way early, while six or seven cars fought inches apart for the lead. The action got too hot coming around to complete the third lap, and Belanger hit the frontstretch wall. With 20 more cars behind him, Senecal ended up driving on the left side tires only after contact with a spinning car. Remarkably, the Senecal’s blue #94 Pontiac landed on all fours, and he drove on to victory from the restart, holding off Greg Zindler in the closing laps. Kenny Tourville, Josh LaPorte, Jr. and Rick Doner followed.
Jason Bradley won the B Feature for the Moore Recycling Mini Stocks, marking his first-ever trip to Egglefield Ford Victory Lane over Chuck Mooney and Clemmy Bell.
