Jeffery Battle Wins Prestigious Jim Belfiore Memorial 350 Supermod Event Tons Of Action At “The Place To Race” On Both Wednesday And Saturday Night Rich Hayes PR Epping, NH – The Star Speedway hosted the first of two back-to-back doubleheaders with race programs on both Wednesday and Saturday nights last week. Wednesday’s schedule featured the Woody’s Auto Streets competing in another round of the MLM Diagnostics Fast 40 Series, with “Mad Max” Dolliver taking down his first win of the year. Dolliver came out on top of a race-long battle with multi-time track champ Rob Bolduc and Adam Lovejoy, who chased him across the stripe in second and third. Dylan Bilodeau finished fourth, with Jim Storace closing out the top five. In the Mia’s Jewelry Slingshot’s, Kris Knox collected his first career Star Speedway checkered flag, outrunning Mike Ramsey, Matt Leblanc, T.J. Laro, and Clark Brooks to get the job done. Former champion Jason Hodgdon scored the win in the Six Shooter main, with Adam Knowles, Joey Fraser, Lexi Chase, and Jojo Roberts rounding out the top five. Jesse Tellier topped Ryan Washburn and Dave Karstock in the V6/V8 Enduro. The 350 Supermodifeds returned to action for the Saturday night program, running the second annual Jim Belfiore Memorial. A full field of 26 open-wheelers were on hand for the special event, with three heat races, a pair of consis and a “B” main setting the field for the feature. Heat race wins went to Mike Murphy, Mike Collins, and Brad Babb, but at feature time, it was all Jeffrey Battle. Battle found himself on the pole for the main, and after holding back an early challenge from his uncle, Eddie Witkum, Jr., he ran virtually unchallenged the rest of the way. At the checkers, it was Battle defending his title with another win in the Belfiore Memorial, with the Twin Motorsports team of “Billistic” Bill and Dave “Hollywood” Helliwell taking second and third. Fourth went to Kenny White, Jr., with Collins scoring fifth. It was a repeat with the same lead trio as Wednesday in the Woody’s Auto Street main on Saturday night, but this time it was Adam Lovejoy coming out on top. Wednesday winner Max Dolliver was runner-up, with Ron Bolduc, Austin Erickson, and Jim Storace third through fifth. Adam Knowles put in an impressive run aboard the Scott Byron entry to collect top honors in the Six Shooter main, with Jason Hodgdon, Josh Bilodeau, Nathan Leclair and J.T. Cashman second through fifth. Aaron Day hustled the J.R. Filippone machine to top honors in the Mini Stock feature, outrunning Jake Rheaume, Dan Sweeney, Tyson Payne, and Ryan Wentworth to post the win. The Senior Tour Auto Racers were also on hand Saturday, with Bob Guyon scoring the win in the Sportsman portion of the program, and Jim Allen winning out after a race-long battle with Bob Donohue in the Modifieds. Star Speedway is back with another doubleheader weekend this week with the North East Mini Stock Tour headlining Wednesday August 12th’s racing card and then again on Saturday night August 15th with a full card of Star Speedway’s premier competition. |
