CLAREMONT, NH – Colton Hull won a thriller. Cody Schoolcraft found a pot of gold in the last turn, and Stephen Donahue earned his first Thrasher Road victory lap ever. It all Sixteen-time track champ Aaron Fellow got up happened Friday at Claremont Motorsports Park.
Both Carlos Grenier and Kyle Templeton stayed undefeated on the young season, but no one went home happier than Donahue, who held off the best of the best to win the Tour Type Late Model main event.
Ryan Farewell and Tim Churchill led the RE Hinkley Fuels Super Streets to the green Friday, with Farewell grabbing the head and bringing Robert Hagar with him.On lap three, Hagar took over, his mirror soon filled by Brandon Gray.

Tim Churchill was a career best in second, and Tim Churchill came home third.

Hull, gunning for his second win of the year, was quickly joined by Jimmy Zellman and Real Deal Kyle Kenny, And the race was on.
