📝 ADAM LOVEJOY TAKES HOME BIG PAYDAY AT STAR SPEEDWAYS CATCO STREET STOCK NATIONALS 📝
(October 23, 2023)
After an extra day of waiting due to weather Mother Nature decided to cooperate and the first annual Star Speedway CATCO Street Stock Nationals are in the books. At the end of 75 green flag laps it was the 2022 Star Speedway track champion Adam Lovejoy who was able to top the competition taking home the big win and payday. The K-COB Slingshots, 2 to go show Six Shooters, MLM Diagnostics Pure Stocks, and Mighty Trucks all joined the Street Stocks as part of the Sunday afternoon program as well and some familiar faces made their return to Star Speedways victory lane in the process.
Adam Lovejoy had a pretty good day on Sunday as he time trialed first out of the 31 cars attempting to qualify for the CATCO National event. Lovejoy was then able to take home the win in the Dash for Cash event, which then granted him the pole starting position for the 75 lap main event on Sunday afternoon. After a few early race cautions, Lovejoy was able to build a comfortable lead until around the halfway point when 2023 track champion Shane Gendron was able to close in and take the lead, then begin to pull away from Lovejoy as the race closed in on the final 10 laps until caution flew once again. Gendron was able to hold off Lovejoy on the first few of a series of restarts but with just seven laps to go caution flew once again. On the ensuing restart Gendron spun his tires enough to give Lovejoy the edge he needed to retake the lead for the next five laps until caution flew once again, setting up a final two lap shootout between Lovejoy and Matt Sonhalter who had worked his way into second. When the final green flag flew, Lovejoy and Sonhalter ran the final laps side by side with Lovejoy edging out both Sonhalter and Gendron on the final lap with the trio crossing the stripe three wide giving Lovejoy the biggest Street Stock payoff in Star Speedway history.
In K-COB Slingshot action, Mike “Brick” Ramsey made his return to the division he once frequented on a weekly basis to take home the feature win in the Dave Cameron owned blue deuce. Ramsey jumped out front on the initial lap and dominated the caution free race en route to his first Star Speedway win in over two years. Jenna Bealieu had another strong podium run taking home the second position while Pure Stock regular Gage Osbourne had a career best run in his new Slingshot taking home the third position.
Jeremy Hayes backed up his 2023 Star Speedway 2 to go show Six Shooter championship season with another win on Sunday afternoon. The young gun jumped out front in the early laps of the division's main event and led all the way to the finish adding another first place trophy to his growing collection. Six Shooter veterans Ryan Nelson and Randy Washburn followed Hayes across the line on the final lap taking home second and third place respectively.
In Pro V8 Sportsman action, it was Matt Robinson who topped the field of competition in the division's 35 lap main event. Previous 2023 Pro V8 Sportsman race winner Jimmy Renfrew Sr. crossed the stripe in the second spot behind Robinson, while Ed Flannigan rounded off the podium in the third position.
The Mighty Trucks saw Dave Lamson add another win to his racing resume in the upstart division's main event. Following Lamson to the line in the second position was Kyle Chandler who had one of his best Star Speedway races this season, Dwarf Car veteran Tom Harwood rounded off the podium in third.
Star Speedway will be back in action one final time to close out the 2023 racing season as we roll into Halloween Howler weekend next Friday and Saturday October 27th, and 28th.

📝 Star Speedway Crowns Remaining 2023 Champions During Special Friday Night Program Due to Weather 📝
(September 22, 2023)
Weather may have forced the final Saturday night point race of the 2023 Star Speedway racing season to be rescheduled for Friday, September 22, but the action was hot on the track as the championship battles were decided.
Five of Star Speedway's weekly divisions were on hand as the 350 Supers had the night off - earlier this season, Jeffrey Battle repeated as champion of Star's top class. Other than Battle’s repeat in the Supers, veteran Billy Osborne claimed the championship in the MLM Diagnostic Pure Stocks, while Connor McDougal was crowned champion with a feature win on the final night of the Izzett Construction Late Model season last Friday.
McDougal was able to take home his first championship in the Izzett Construction Late Models. He entered the final points night in second position in the standings, but was able to win the race and earn enough points to claim the championship in the process. Jimmy Connor had a solid run on Friday night, as he crossed the stripe in the second spot, while George Maroun, who made his return to the Late Models again, finished in third.
In the Woody’s Auto Street Stocks, it was defending champion Adam Lovejoy giving up his crown from last year on Friday, but also claiming checkers in the division's final points race of the season. JT Cashman trailed Lovejoy to the line claiming second, while Shane Gendron rounded off the podium in third, while also claiming the track championship. While the battle went to Lovejoy, the war went to Gendron, who was the most consistent driver throughout the 2023 season in the highly competitive class. He entered the final race of the season with a more than comfortable lead.
In the K-COB Slingshots, veteran Dave Cameron took home the Friday night feature win with rookies Nate LeClair and Jenna Beaulieu following him across the line claiming second and third, respectively. LeClair’s second-place finish capped an incredibly consistent rookie season after he made the jump up from Six Shooters in 2023 and was an immediate threat right from his first race. LeClair visited Star Speedway victory lane many times on his way to the 2023 track championship.
In the 2 To Go Show Six Shooters, it was another young driver taking home the feature win and championship honors, as Jeremy Hayes claimed the championship in only his second year in the division. Hayes was also a multiple-time winner throughout the 2023 season. While Hayes claimed the feature win, Paul Childs had a solid run earning the second position, and Adam Knowles rounded off the podium in third.
Veteran Billy Osborne was another driver who had a really good night on Friday, as he was able to take home both a feature win and track championship in the MLM Diagnostic Services Pure Stocks. Andrew Harmon trailed Osborne to the line on the final lap, with last year's division champion George Riley Jr. rounding out the top three.
The 2023 Star Speedway racing season is entering its final stages as we enter the fall months, but there is still more action on tap with a few of the highest paying Street stock races in the country upcoming in the month of October.

🏆 Jeffrey Battle Clinches Another 350 Supers Title While His Brother Wins Steve Krupski Memorial; MacRae Wins MLM Fast 40, Baldwin Clinches Fast 40 Title; Knowles, Quinlan, Osborne & Lamson Win Sunday Races 🏆
(August 7, 2023)
Although mother nature refused to cooperate on what was originally scheduled to be a Friday night at the race track, Sunday was a beautiful day for racing and the Star Speedway staff was able to make all the changes necessary to get the scheduled program done in full with a 1:30PM Sunday afternoon start time.
Sunday's races also honored longtime track worker, the mayor of Epping, Steve Krupski. The Krupski Cup was also the championship race for the 350 Supermodifieds and the championship was also decided in the MLM Fast 40 Series presented by CATCO for the Woody's Street Stocks.
In 350 Supermodified action, it was Ryan Battle who took home top honors, grabbing checkers in the Krupski Cup race. Veteran Jim Storace took home the second position behind Battle. Defending track champion Jeffrey Battle Jr. rounded off the podium in third and the finish was enough to clinch consecutive track titles for the Massachusetts driver in a close points race that came down to the wire with this year's championship runner-up Ryan Locke.
The last leg of the 2023 MLM Fast 40 presented by CATCO series for the Woody's Auto Street Stocks was on the Sunday schedule and Rob MacRae was the man on top when checkers flew. MacRae was followed to the line by this year's MLM Fast 40 champion Charlie Baldwin, who was able to lock up the championship with the second place finish. Shane Gendron continued to build on his string of recent success rounding off the podium in third.
The 2 To Go Show Six Shooters were on track as well Sunday and it was Adam Knowles who beat all comers after coming back from some recent time off from racing to take the feature win.
Veteran driver Billy Osborne grabbed the win in the first MLM Diagnostic Pure Stock main event on Sunday adding another victory to his 2023 season total. Second place went to the always fast Andrew Harmon, who trailed Osborne to the line, and last year's track champion, the always consistent George Riley Jr., rounded off the podium with a third place finish. In the second Pure Stock race of the night, Darryl Quinlan went to Victory Lane.
The Mighty Truck division was also in action on Sunday afternoon and for the second straight race it was Dave Lamson who took home the feature win. Multiple-time 2023 winner John Curtis was second at the line with CJ McNall trailing him in third.

🏆 Charbonneau, Robinson, Lamson, Collins, Petrin, Janowiec Win Friday Night at Star; Mother Nature Takes Her Own Saturday Checkered Flag
(July 29, 2023)
It was a perfect night for racing on Friday in Epping, New Hampshire, and another leg of the 2023 $5 Friday series at Star Speedway is in the books. Friday nights racing saw a few new drivers add their name to the list of 2023 race winners, including a rather improbable finish in the K-COB Slingshot main event.
Dan Collins showed up to Star Speedway on Friday night for a one off opportunity to drive the No. 2 Slingshot, owned and normally driven by Dave Cameron and certainly made the most of the opportunity. Collins spent most of the K-COB Slingshot feature race in or around the top-five, and when the white flag flew Collins sat comfortably in the third position in line to take home a podium finish in his Star Slingshot debut.
However, the race was not over and when the two leaders touched exiting turn two on the final circuit, the slight contact sent the two spinning in opposite directions and Collins cruised through the middle straight to Star Speedway victory lane. Heath DeButts added another solid finish to his 2023 season as he crossed the stripe in the second position, while Ryan Stuart ran a smart and consistent race and earned himself the third and final podium position.
The Mighty Truck division was back on track on Friday night and David Lamson scored his first Truck win at the Epping oval this season. Multiple-time Mighty Truck winner John Curtis was forced to settle for the runner-up position on the night, with CJ McNall rounding out the top three.
Cody Petrin topped the field for the second time in a row in the Junkyard Dog feature event. The upstart Cruiser division was also on the Friday night card and Sebastion Janowiec added another feature win to his 2023 season resume. Traver Michaud took home the second position behind Janowiec, with Sullivan Olsen rounding off the podium in the third position.
Star Speedway attempted Saturday night racing on July 29, but weather forced the end of the show just after heats. Schedule updates will be available early this week. For more information on Star Speedway, visit StarSpeedwayNH.com.

With a busy weekend of racing and events scheduled for June 16th-18th, Star Speedway kicked off the action with the second edition of their $5 Friday program. Fortunately mother nature cooperated on Friday and some familiar faces were able to find their way back to Star victory lane, and a handful of new drivers joined the growing list of 2023 Star Speedway winners as well. Unfortunately, weather forced the cancellation of the Saturday night portion of the weekend double header, and the details on rescheduling of Saturday's program will be released soon.
In K-COB Plumbing and Heating Slingshot action it was once again rookie standout Nate LeClair taking home yet another feature win. The 2023 Slingshot season has been highlighted by the emergence of a handful of young upcoming talent, with three of the division's young drivers picking up their first career wins in the division already. However, no one has shined brighter than LeClair, who has won three times, and been on the podium in every start he has made this season. Jaxson Filippone backed up his recent feature win with a solid second place run behind LeClair, with fellow young gun Dwight Souther Jr. rounding off the podium in third.
In NELCAR Legend car action it was Owen Mahar who paced the field taking home his first with the Legend tour this season. The upstart Cruiser division was back on the schedule for Friday night and this time it was Sullivan Olsen taking home checkers in the division's main event. John Curtis is proving himself the man to beat in Mighty Truck action as he took home his second win of the season in as many starts at the Epping oval. Traver Michaud was the winner in the Super Trooper division over a field full of Star Speedway's future stars. In Pro V8 Enduro action it was Matt Robinson taking down the main event win over Frank Bryan Ed Flannigan.
Star Speedway will be back in action this Saturday night, June 24 with another full slate of racing action on tap headlined by double Woody's Street Stock features and the return of the Late Models. For more information, visit StarSpeedwayNH.com.

LECLAIR, MCCARTHY, PARTRIDGE, HARWOOD, CURTIS, JANOWIEC & OSGOOD TAKE HOME SATURDAY NIGHT WINS AT STAR
(June 10, 2023)
Star Speedway had a busy night of racing this past Saturday, June 10th, and a handful of drivers picked up their first Star wins of the 2023 season. With the Slingshots, Six Shooters, Dwarf Cars, Cruisers, Junk Yard Dogs, and Mighty Trucks all in action on Saturday night, the Star Speedway pit area was packed with race cars set to do battle at The Place To Race. Six drivers were able to capture their first Star wins on the year, and for two of those winners it was their first ever wins at the Epping oval.
Defending Six Shooter champion Nate LeClair has definitely adapted well to his move up to the Slingshots this season, as he grabbed his second feature win of his rookie campaign on Saturday night. LeClair has finished in the top-five in every race he has entered at Star this season, putting himself in position as not only a rookie of the year favorite, but also a definite championship contender. Although his latest win was in a non-points race, LeClair's string of early season podium finishes puts him in excellent position as a championship hopeful through the early stages of the 2023 season.
The 2 To Go Show Six Shooters had two feature events on schedule for Saturday night, the first of which being a makeup from the previous Saturday's rained out event. Ryan McCarthy scored his first ever Star Speedway Six shooter win in the first feature event over Adam Knowles and Jeremy Hayes. When feature event number two rolled out, Ryan Partridge took control and claimed his first Star Speedway win of 2023 in the division. Zach Washburn crossed the stripe in the second position, with Jeremy Hayes taking home the third spot, giving the young driver his second podium of the night.
Tom Harwood has been on quite the roll to start the 2023 Dwarf Car season, already being a multiple-time winner across the region. At features end, it was Harwood once again who paced the field taking home a long awaited first career win at the place to race. Chris Sullivan took home the second spot behind Harwood with Jimmy Ryder rounding off the podium in third.
The Mighty Trucks were in action on Saturday night and John Curtis was the man to beat as he topped the competition en route to the feature win. In Cruiser division action, it was Sebastian Janowiec who crossed the stripe first in the main event giving him his first Star win of 2023 in the division. Brad Osgood took home top honors in Junkyard Dog competition on Saturday night, besting the field of competitors.

PREVIEW: Action Packed Racing Returns To Star Speedway To Celebrate Memorial Day This Friday, May 26
(May 23, 2023)
Star Speedway has added a special Friday night program on Memorial Day weekend, May 26, after a rainout last week for the first time in five years. The entire card scheduled for that day has been moved to Friday with the first race scheduled at 7PM to celebrate Memorial Day.
The Izzett Construction Late Model division will headline the schedule, back for their second consecutive race. Also on the docket are the Woody's Auto Street Stocks, K-COB Slingshots, 2 To Go Show Six Shooters presented by Top Gun Roofing, and MLM Diagnostic Pure Stocks. There will also be a Ladies-only Slingshot race scheduled to close out the racing program on Friday.
Justin Storace claimed the first victory of the new season in the Late Model main event last time out. Dan Sweeney started off his year on a strong note finishing in the second spot, and Lew Fortin was third. Storace will enter week two looking to back up his opening night performance, as we begin to get a chance to see what the 2023 version of the Late Model division will look like.
The Woody's Auto Street Stocks have seen just two different winners in three races to start out their 2023 season as Joe Ventrillo opened up the year with back to back wins, before Ryan Phillips bested the field on May 12. Aaron Day and JT Cashman have both shown they have what it takes to run up front so far this season, both scoring solid runs throughout the opening weeks of the 2023 racing season.
Nate LeClair was the winner last time out in the K-COB Slingshots. LeClair, who made the jump up from Six Shooters last season, is yet to finish outside the top three in his four-race Slingshot career. The Slingshot season seemed to pickup where it left off last season as the Dave Cameron show. The veteran driver won back to back races to start off 2023 before the young guns of the division started to take over. Joey Fraser, another Six Shooter graduate, is the only other driver to visit Slingshot victory lane so far.
Billy Eastman is the first repeat winner in 2 To Go Show Six Shooters presented by Top Gun Roofing action, after winning on May 12. Eastman has been in contention for victory in all four of the divisions races so far this year.
Adam Knowles is off to a strong start to his 2023 campaign. He has one Star Speedway Six Shooter win to his credit already this year. Last seasons Six Shooter rookie of the year, Jeremy Hayes, is another driver to watch -- he has started off his season on a positive note, also claiming a win already.
Also in action Friday night will be the MLM Diagnostic Pure Stock division who saw veteran Billy Osborne take home checkers last Friday night. Last years division champion George Riley Jr. has started his championship defense off with a streak of consistent finishes, but is yet to visit victory lane in 2023. Gage Osborne was forced to play runner-up to his uncle last Friday night, but the young driver already has one win on his resume this season, and will most likely be a championship threat by seasons end.
Star Speedway racing on Friday, May 26 begins at 7PM. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors/juniors/military and kids 11 and under are free.

Star Speedway has added a special Friday night program on Memorial Day weekend, May 26, after a rainout last week for the first time in five years. The entire card scheduled for that day has been moved to Friday with the first race scheduled at 7PM to celebrate Memorial Day.
The Izzett Construction Late Model division will headline the schedule, back for their second consecutive race. Also on the docket are the Woody's Auto Street Stocks, K-COB Slingshots, 2 To Go Show Six Shooters presented by Top Gun Roofing, and MLM Diagnostic Pure Stocks. There will also be a Ladies-only Slingshot race scheduled to close out the racing program on Friday.
Justin Storace claimed the first victory of the new season in the Late Model main event last time out. Dan Sweeney started off his year on a strong note finishing in the second spot, and Lew Fortin was third. Storace will enter week two looking to back up his opening night performance, as we begin to get a chance to see what the 2023 version of the Late Model division will look like.
The Woody's Auto Street Stocks have seen just two different winners in three races to start out their 2023 season as Joe Ventrillo opened up the year with back to back wins, before Ryan Phillips bested the field on May 12. Aaron Day and JT Cashman have both shown they have what it takes to run up front so far this season, both scoring solid runs throughout the opening weeks of the 2023 racing season.
Nate LeClair was the winner last time out in the K-COB Slingshots. LeClair, who made the jump up from Six Shooters last season, is yet to finish outside the top three in his four-race Slingshot career. The Slingshot season seemed to pickup where it left off last season as the Dave Cameron show. The veteran driver won back to back races to start off 2023 before the young guns of the division started to take over. Joey Fraser, another Six Shooter graduate, is the only other driver to visit Slingshot victory lane so far.
Billy Eastman is the first repeat winner in 2 To Go Show Six Shooters presented by Top Gun Roofing action, after winning on May 12. Eastman has been in contention for victory in all four of the divisions races so far this year.
Adam Knowles is off to a strong start to his 2023 campaign. He has one Star Speedway Six Shooter win to his credit already this year. Last seasons Six Shooter rookie of the year, Jeremy Hayes, is another driver to watch -- he has started off his season on a positive note, also claiming a win already.
Also in action Friday night will be the MLM Diagnostic Pure Stock division who saw veteran Billy Osborne take home checkers last Friday night. Last years division champion George Riley Jr. has started his championship defense off with a streak of consistent finishes, but is yet to visit victory lane in 2023. Gage Osborne was forced to play runner-up to his uncle last Friday night, but the young driver already has one win on his resume this season, and will most likely be a championship threat by seasons end.
Star Speedway racing on Friday, May 26 begins at 7PM. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors/juniors/military and kids 11 and under are free. General admission tickets may be purchased in advance on Ticket Hoss for just $10 per person for ages over 11 until Thursday at 12:01AM. For more information, visit StarSpeedwayNH.com.
Storace, Phillips, LeClair, Eastman, Osborne Score Friday Night Wins at Star Speedway
(May 12, 2023)
The first round of Friday night racing at Star Speedway is in the books for 2023. The Izzett Construction Late Models, Woody's Street Stocks, K Cob Slingshots, 2 To Go Show Six Shooters presented by Top Gun Roofing and MLM Diagnostic Pure Stocks were all in action Friday.
The Izzett Construction Late Model division headlined the schedule and it was Justin Storace who took home the feature win when checkers flew. Storace made the jump to Late Models during the 2022 season, were he had some success after having spent the previous few years fielding a Street Stock. Storace made the winning pass on eventual second place finisher Dan Sweeney, and then held the competition off. Lew Fortin had a strong run and took home the third and final podium position.
Ryan Phillips became the first Street Stock driver not named Joe Ventrillo to win in 2023 when he bested a strong field of Woody's Auto Street Stocks. Aaron Day had his best run of the 2023 season to date, as he took home the second position behind Phillps. Finishing in the third position was young gun JT Cashman, the former Six Shooter champion, who has been a front runner throughout the opening stages of the 2023 season.
In K-COB Slingshot action, Nate LeClair took home his first career Slingshot win in just his fourth ever start. LeClair has started his rookie campaign out on a roll with three consecutive third-place finishes before finding victory lane on Friday night. Dave Cameron bounced back from a crash that damaged his car last Saturday night to take home the second position behind LeClair. The Final podium position went to Brad Weisman, who drove his mount to a 2023 season best third place finish.
Billy Eastman seems to have sorted out all of the issues that plagued his 2022 Six Shooter season as he visited Star Speedway victory lane for the second time in the early stages of 2023 on Friday night. Ryan Partridge had a solid run bringing his car home in the second position, with Jeremy Hayes finishing in third.
Pure Stock action saw veteran ace Billy Osborne take home his first feature event win of the year. Trailing Osbourne to the line when checkers flew was last weeks winner Gage Osborne in a team car to his uncle Billy. Daryl Quinlan, who is always a consistent runner when he comes to Star Speedway, was able to claim the final podium spot.
Star Speedway will be back in action next Saturday night, May 20, another full slate of weekly division racing scheduled. For more information on Star's 2023 season, visit StarSpeedwayNH.com.

Event Preview: Star Speedway Set For First Friday Night Show This Friday, May 12
(May 10, 2023)
For the first time in 2023, Star Speedway will be in action on a Friday night with five divisions of weekly racing this Friday, May 12.

The Late Model division has been growing in numbers, and the racing has been hotly contested over the last few seasons. Defending champion and multiple-time 2022 winner Charlie Rose is expected to return and defend his title in 2023. The Curtis brothers, Jarret and Chase, both had breakout seasons last year, and will be looking to improve on their 2022 results. Former Pure Stock and Slingshot winner Jimmy Connor finished out his 2022 rookie campaign strong and will likely be contenting for wins throughout his sophomore campaign. Veterans Connor McDougal and George Maroon are returning, both found victory lane last season and are expected to be championship contenders in 2023 as well.
Joe Ventrillo has been the man to beat so far this season in Woody's Street Stock action, taking both wins in the divisions two races so far this year. The division will be back on the Epping oval for race three of their 2023 campaign on Friday night, as a host of drivers will be looking to knock off Ventrillo and notch their first win in the division this season.
The story of the K Cob Slingshots this season would have to be the performance of the divisions young up and coming drivers. Although veteran Dave Cameron won the division's first two races, Joey Fraser broke through taking his first career win in the division last Saturday. Both Nate LeClair, and Jenna Beaulieu made the jump up from Six Shooter racing last season. LeClair has three podiums in three races, and Beaulieu is coming off a career best second place last Saturday night.
The Six Shooter division has seen three different winners in three races to start their 2023 season. Billy Eastman, Adam Knowles, and most recently Jeremy Hayes have already visited Star victory lane this season. The trio will all be looking to be the divisions first repeat winner when they hit the track next in Friday night racing.

RECAP: Jeffrey Battle Opens 350 Title Defense With Opening Night Win; Ventrillo & Cameron Go Back-To-Back, Knowles, Osborne Grab Wins
April 29, 2023
When just about every track in the Northeast canceled early due to inclement weather forecasted for Saturday, Star Speedway owner Bobby Webber defied the odds once again and got his full racing program in under cloudy, but dry skies Saturday afternoon. Week number two of the Star Speedway season and week one of regular Saturday night division racing saw a handful of familiar winners take their spots in Star victory lane during the afternoon event.
Defending 350 Supermodified champion Jeffrey Battle started out his track title defense in the best possible way with an opening race win in the divisions main event. Battle edged out Eddie Witkum Jr. by a little over one second at race end. Last years championship runner up, Bobby Timmons, also started his season off on a good note with a third place finish.
Bunny Brawl winner Joe Ventrillo made it two for two in Woody's Auto Street Stock action with his new 2023 ride, which seems to be tuned to his liking. Young gun JT Cashman, who has made the jump up from the Six Shooters over the last few seasons, took home the second position in one of the best runs of his early Street Stock career. Jimmy Renfrew Jr. was in town on Saturday and drove his mount to the third and final spot on the podium.
In K-COB Plumbing and Heating Slingshot action it was once again Dave Cameron who topped the competition, grabbing his second straight feature win to start the 2023 season. Defending champ Justin Gaillioux bounced back from week one to take home the second spot, while Rookie Nate LeClair doubled up on his Bunny Brawl third place finish, grabbing his second podium of the season.
Adam Knowles took home checkers in the 2 To Go Show Six Shooter main, grabbing his first Star Speedway win of the year. Bunny Brawl winner Billy Eastman fell one spot short of another Bunny Brawl repeat but was forced to settle for second behind Knowles. The third and final podium spot went to Claremont regular Steve Miller, who is always a contender when he's on track.
Gage Osborne took home his first Star MLM Diagnostic Pure Stock win of the new season. Osborne was a championship contender and multiple-time winner in 2022 and looks to be building on that momentum to start 2023. Second place went to multiple division veteran Billy Osborne, who is always a force to be reckoned with in whatever he drives. Last years top point man, George Riley Jr., scored his second straight third place finish getting his season off to a very consistent start.
Star Speedway returns to racing on Saturday, May 6, for a full night of racing including the Hedges Excavating 100 for the Granite State Pro Stocks and the annual Bob Webber Sr. Memorial 47-lap race for the 350 Supers. Additional divisions are also involved. For more information and upcoming schedule, visit StarSpeedwayNH.com.

PREVIEW: 350 SUPERMODIFIEDS SET TO KICK OFF THEIR SEASON THIS SATURDAY AT STAR SPEEDWAY AS PART OF FIVE DIVISION CARD 👊
Story on April 26, 2023
With the annual Bunny Brawl now in the books, Star Speedway sets its sights on week one of Saturday night weekly division racing this Saturday, April 29. With a full slate of racing on the docket, the 350 Supermodifieds highlight the weekend schedule, while joining them for their second outing of 2023 are the Woody's Auto Street Stocks, the K Cob Slingshots, 2 To Go Show Six Shooters and MLM Diagnostic Pure Stocks. The first green flag of the afternoon this Saturday is set to fly at 5 p.m., when heat racing begins.
The 350 Supermodifieds, the fastest weekly short track division in the northeast, will see a host of contenders returning for the 2023 season. Last years champion Jeffrey Battle will be back on track, along with the rest of last years top point earners set to return, including runner-up Bobby Timmons, and third-place point man Brad Babb. Ed Witkum Jr., Ben Tinker, Ryan Battle and a host of others will also be looking to improve on strong 2022 seasons and possibly making a run at the 2023 track championship in the process.
The Woody's Auto Street Stocks will be on the docket once again on Saturday. Joe Ventrillo was the winner of the first race of the season at last weekend's Bunny Brawl, collecting $1,300. Ventrillo looks like he is sure to be a contender this season. Defending champion Adam Lovejoy will be looking to defend his track title against the likes of veterans Jim Storace, Charles Baldwin, young guns Clark Brooks and JT Cashman and many more -- all of which will be looking to throw themselves into the title conversation.
Dave Cameron may not have won last years championship, but seemed to have won about everything else including last weekends season opener in the K Cob Slingshots. Cameron will be a force to reckon with in 2023. Justin Gaillioux was the driver who picked up the 2022 championship, he will be looking to rebound from a difficult opening day run this week. The young guns of the Slingshots may be the drivers to talk about as the 2023 season unfolds. Dwight Souther Jr., a multiple-time winner, is back and looking fast as ever, Joey Fraser was knocking on the door of victory lane last season and is back with his brother Zach in a team car for 2023. Last years 2 To Go Show Six Shooter champion Nate LeClair has made the jump and was in the top three on opening day, while Star trooper graduate Jaxson Fillapone started off his season strong with a solid top-five finish on opening day and will surely be looking to build on that throughout the season.
The Six Shooters saw Billy Eastman rebound from a tough 2022 season with an opening day victory, with Nate LeClair moving up, Eastman could be a favorite for this years track title. Another sure fire contender will be Jeremy Hayes, who was a multiple-time winner in 2022 and with more experience under his belt, this year should be another step in the right direction for the young driver.
The Pure Stock division saw Andrew Harmon take home opening night checkers, while last years champion George Riley Jr. was forced to settle for second. Harmon will surely be a threat for the title if he decides to commit himself for the season. Another driver who is sure to be heard from is Gage Osborne, who won a handful of features last year and will be trying to step up his game this season as well.
Racing is set to begin with qualifying at 2:30PM on Saturday. For more information on Saturday's racing, or future events please visit us on the track Facebook page or our website, StarspeedwayNH.com.

BUNNY BRAWL RECAP: Ventrillo Locks Himself into CATCO Nationals With Bunny Brawl $1,300 Street Stock Win; Cameron, Eastman, Harmon, Michaud, Walsh & Nelson Also Win Bunny Brawl Races
(April 22, 2023)
Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire, saw the first green flag of their 2023 racing season fly this past Saturday, April 22nd. The Bunny Brawl featured a few of the tracks weekly racing divisions, combined with the always exciting Enduro races. This event has become a tradition in kicking off the racing season at The Place To Race.
The Street Stocks as always kept the fans on their toes, picking up right where things left off last season with door-to-door action, even featuring a multi-lap three wide battle for the lead. Veteran racer Joe Ventrillo used the previously mentioned three-wide move to the inside to take the lead and claim the opening day feature win. With the win, Ventrillo locked himself into the CATCO Recycling Street Stock Nationals scheduled for October and also collected a $1,300 winning prize.
The Star Speedway K Cob Slingshots were back on track, and so was Dave Cameron, who claimed the most wins in the division throughout 2022. Cameron kicked off his 2023 campaign in the same fashion, claiming the victory at the Bunny Brawl opener. Young gun Dwight Souther Jr., who also has had no problems finding his way to Star victory lane, started his season off on a strong note with a second-place finish. Last seasons Six Shooter champion Nate LeClair had a solid run in his first race in a new division taking home third place honors when checkers flew.
Billy Eastman rebounded from a difficult 2022 season and was the man on top in the 2 To Go Show Six Shooters main event. Behind Eastman in the second position was Jeremy Hayes, who had a strong rookie season, winning multiple features in 2022 and looks to be on stride to continue that success this season. The third position went to Ryan McCarthy, who always seems to put a solid run together in his visits to Star.
The MLM Diagnostic Pure Stock division saw Andrew Harmon, who seems to be fast in everything he drives, take home the divisions first checkers of the new season. Defending division champion and always a consistent runner George Riley Jr. crossed the stripe in second-place when the checkers flew, trailing only Harmon.
