TOMBARELLO, BELFIORE, SOUTHER, WASHBURN, AND AIKEN ALL WINNERS AT STAR ON JUNE 26 EPPING, N.H. -- Saturday night in J&S Paving 350 Supermodifieds action, Tommy Tombarello snapped a near three-year winless drought as he grabbed his first win of the 2021 season. Tombarello grabbed the lead early and paced the field to the finish, however, it wasn't easy, as second place finisher Ed Witkum Jr. was able to apply pressure on the leader on numerous restarts. Ben Tinker had a strong run, and finished the race in the third spot. The race was the annual Krupski Cup, honoring the Mayor of Epping, “Stevie”, with a strong field of cars. All of the action took place at Star Speedway, located in Epping, New Hampshire. In the MLM Diagnostic Fast 40 event for the Woody’s Auto Street Stocks, Anthony Belfiore worked his way past leader Tyler Chase just past the halfway mark and hung on for the win. Chase, who worked his way to the front early, was able to hold down second for the remainder of the event. Kris Schroeder took his time finding a way through traffic and rounded out the podium with a third-place finish. Dwight Souther Jr. grabbed checkers in the K-Cobb Slingshot feature event, his first win in the division. Souther battled to the finish with fellow rookie James Connor, who would take the second spot at the finish. Matt LeBlanc, the veteran in the group, was third, continuing on with what has been a consistent start to his year. The Murphy and Sons Roofing Six Shooters had another new winner in their 25-lap feature, this time it was Zachary Washburn taking the honors. Washburn took the lead from Jenna Beaulieu on a restart and was able to hang on to the finish. JT Cashman had a strong run and took second, followed by Joey Fraser, who was third. Erin Aiken was a winner for the second time this season in the MLM Diagnostic Pure Stock feature. Aiken paced James Connor and George Riley Jr., who eventually finished second and third, throughout the event on her way to the victory. In the closing laps, Aiken was able to stretch out to a nice lead over her closest competitors to take the win by a comfortable margin. Star Speedway is back in action next Saturday night for the "Night Before The 4th" race night, featuring a 75-lap race for ACT-type Late Models. Also in action will be Woody's Auto Street Stocks, the K-Cobb Slingshots, the MLM Diagnostic Pure Stocks, and the 75-lap Freedom Enduro.
