Bobby Cabral Is The Big Winner On Fireworks Night Rich Hayes PR Epping, NH – Another action-packed night of racing action went into the record books at the historic Star Speedway on Saturday night, with some of the best weather of the year bringing a strong crowd to watch the fireworks, both on and above the speedway. The R & R Public Wholesalers Late Models were the featured attraction this week, with a 50-lap feature event on tap for the division. For the second straight race, Kingston veteran Bobby Cabral came home with the winner’s trophy, although this time in a bit less dramatic fashion than his last-lap heroics in the previous race. Cabral had to hold off a stiff challenge from fellow veteran and opening night winner Charlie Rose during the middle stages of the race, with invader Aaron Fellows making it a three way battle for the top spot in the late laps. Tom Mackey, who had been up front early before getting freight-trained back in the pack, was gaining on the lead trio in the late laps as well, but time ran out before he could join the fun up front. At the checkers, it was Cabral in for win number two on the season, with Fellows taking runner-up, and Rose settling for third. The Woody’s Auto Strictly Stocks featured plenty of three-wide racing all night long, with defending champ John Cashman taking down the win by a fender over Jimmy Renfrew, Jr. Renfrew closed in with the laps winding down, but he came up just short at the checkers. As the lead pair worked three and four on the final circuit, bumpers touched, and Cashman slid up the track, opening the inside for Renfrew. The youngster gave it all he had, but at the stripe, Cashman held on to collect the win. Ray Dinsmore scored his best finish of the year to round out the podium in third. Kyle Augevich was the man to beat in the L & W Auto Repair Six Shooters, running off to score yet another feature event win. Brandon Flanders was best of the rest in the runner-up slot, with J.T Cashman scoring a solid third. Tyler Chase scored the Roadrunner win over Dan Sweeney and Andrew Harmon, Robbie Bryant outraced Eric and Duane Skofield in the Northeast Classic Lites feature event, and Dave Karstock claimed top honors in the 8-cylinder Enduro. Dakota Terrio paced an exciting Star Troopers main event. Next Saturday night, July 14, the Autism Awareness 350 Supers return, along with the Storace Construction/MLM Diagnostics Fast 40 for the Strictly Stocks, Brickyard Roadrunners, L & W Auto Six Shooters, Storace Construction Powder Puff Series, and the Star Troopers.
