Tommy Tombarello Is Victorious In 350 Supermodified Action Jimmy Renfrew, Allen Coates, Andrew Harmon, Kyle Augevich & Holdyn Sullivan Win On August 4th Rich Hayes PR Epping, NH – Mother Nature once again tried to put a damper on Star Speedway’s scheduled program Saturday night, but as has been the case more often than not in the 2018 season, track officials waited out a round of heavy showers, dried the track, and put another full program of racing into the record books. The Exit Realty 375 Pro Sportsman Challenge and Pro Truck Challenge joined the Star regulars on the card, with strong fields entered in both divisions despite the threatening weather. The Star Troopers once again started out the night’s feature racing, with hometown driver Holdyn Sullivan leading the field to the checkers. Several Woody’s Auto Strictly Stock competitors tested the waters in the 375 Sportsman portion of the event, and it was local favorite Jimmy Renfrew, Jr. of Candia outrunning the invaders and taking down the checkered flag. Barrington's Alby Ovitt was next across the stripe, with series regular Scott Seryndynski, Jr. rounding out the podium in third. Allen Coates outlasted a nearly full field of Pro Truckers to collect his third win of the season in a race that ended with a yellow/checker situation after a series of late race incidents. Star’s Autism Awareness 350 Supermodifieds returned to action after a couple of weeks off, with Haverhill, MA ace Tommy Tombarello finally shaking the monkey off his back and making that long-awaited trip to victory lane. Tombarello was on a mission all night, making some daring three-wide moves in his qualifying heat, and he wasted little time getting to the front in the feature event. Strafford’s Mike Collins got close in the late laps, but had to settle for second, with former champ Matt Seavey of Pittsfield taking third. Fourth spot went to third-generation Supermodified pilot Bobby Timmons of Windham, ME, followed by rookie Jeffrey Battle of Westford, MA, Mike Keddy of Raymond, Steve Duphily of Plaistow, points leader Dave “Hollywood" Helliwell of Pelham, Nick Pappas of Derry, and Ritty Humphrey of Parsonsfield, ME. Farmington’s Andrew Harmon took down the win in the Brickyard Roadrunner main event, with Aaron Day of Rochester, Jay Townsend of Nashua, Dan Sweeney of Barrington, and Anthony Nadeau of Epping closing out the top five. Kyle Augevich of Fremont outran the field to score the win in the L & W Auto Repair Six Shooter feature event, with Cody Hodgdon of Pittsfield, Adam Knowles of Seabrook, Brian Pickering of Epping, Randy Washburn of Farmington, Scott Byron of Haverhill, MA, Jason Terrio of Epping, Shawn Baker of Rochester, Jason Hodgdon of Pittsfield, and J.T. Cashman of Danvers, MA the rest of the top ten. Next Saturday night, August 11, the Legends return to Star, along with another MLM Diagnostics Fast 40 for the Woody’s Auto Strictly Stocks, the R & R Late Models, Brickyard Roadrunners, L & W Auto Repair Six Shooters, Storace Construction Powder Puff Series, and the Star Troopers.
