“Mad Max” Dolliver Reigns Supreme In A Stacked Ken Izzett Construction Late Model Field Rich Hayes PR Epping, NH – “Mad Max” Dolliver of Londonderry picked up his first win of the 2020 season in the Ken Izzett Construction Late Model main event at Star Speedway Saturday night, steering the Chad Sullivan entry to a dominating victory. Dolliver had to withstand several restarts along the way, as multiple caution periods interrupted the racing action, but he was more than up to the task, holding off point leader Erick Sands in the late laps to score the win. Sands’ teammate and father Jay checkered third, with Mark Jenison, Ryan Souliere, George Maroun, Matt Lowinski, Ty Lallier, Larry Gelinas, and Bobby Frappier rounding out the top ten. The Woody’s Auto Streets had a rough start to their feature, so much so that track officials sent them pitside after 12 laps to cool down. When they returned to the track, they were back to their normal selves, and once again put on a tremendous show for the final 18 laps of the main. Kingston veteran Jim Storace was out front, but under heavy pressure from Bill Clement and Max Dolliver. Anthony Belfiore put his mount to the outside looking for running room, and for the second race in a row, he put on a show. Belfiore bounced off the frontstretch wall hard, but he gathered it up and continued the chase, eventually coming across the line in third behind winner Storace and Clement. Dolliver gained some ground in the point standings with a fourth place run, while Justin Storace claimed fifth. Adam Knowles outdueled J.T. Cashman to pick up the Six Shooter win aboard the Scott Byron machine, with Paul Coburn, Brandon Mailhot, Lexi Chase, Jason Hodgdon, Josh Bilodeau, Nathan LeClair, Jenna Beaulieu, and Joey Fraser rounding out the top ten. Justin Gailloux set the pace for the first 20 laps of the Mia’s Jewelry Slingshot feature, but Matt Leblanc got the best of him at that point, moving into the top spot. Gailloux got hung out in the high groove, losing a few more spots before the checkers waved. At the finish, it was Leblanc in for his second win of the season, with Mike “Brick” Ramsey, Kris Knox, T.J. Laro, and Gailloux closing out the top five. In a wild finish that saw the top three drivers swapping positions several times in the last few laps, Jimmy Connor picked up the win in the Pure Stock main, with Donnie McCaffrey and Maggie Clark right there at the finish to score second and third. Fourth went to Dakota Ritter, with Dwight Souther, Jr. rounding out the top five. Shaun Waites took down the win in the 4-cyinder Enduro, which saw some 50 cars take the green flag. |
