N. Woodstock, NH — With two features on the finale weekend, the Fisher Auto Parts Flying Tigers started off feature racing on Saturday with Kyle Willis and Todd Derrington duking it out side-by-side. Rookie Derrington took off with the early lead before the lap 9 caution for a stalled Mike Clark. Matt Potter would find himself in the top spot following the restart with top point chaser Luke Peters and Shane Sicard in tow on the inside line. Potter would lose the lead with a spin cycle in turn four to set up a fight between championship hopefuls Sicard and Peters over the final eight laps. It was Shane Sicard who went back-to-back for the win over Peters and Owen Cheney at the line.
Alex Smith launched off with the lead in the PASS Modified 75-lapper with the field quickly settling into single-file with nothing but time ahead. Spencer Morse was the first to jump to the outside groove on lap 15, making it work with a long march ahead. Morse would lead lap 23 as Chanler Harrison also began to walk up the wide-open outside groove before a pair of single car spin cautions just after the halfway point. Nothing stood in the way with Spencer Morse taking the 75-lap win over Kyle Hewins and Chanler Harrison under the checkers.
It was a pair of former Oxford 250 champions at the head of the PASS Super Late Model 150 with Austin Teras and Jeremy Whorff. Teras was quick to grab the lead as Whorff and Ryan Kuhn went to battle for second as D.J. Shaw, last week’s winner Johnny Clark, Gabe Brown and Joey Doiron drove mired deep in traffic out back. Using the lap car of J.P. Josiasse, Jimmy Hebert took over the lead from Teras on lap 45 as Shaw and Doiron entered the top five behind Kuhn. The top five cars found themselves trapped in around four lap cars with Hebert amazingly able to hold onto the lead as Teras fell under attack by D.J. Shaw.
After running around the White Mountain quarter mile, Hebert and Gabe Brown made contact in turn four, sending both slam-banging into the infield to call out the lap 107 caution. On the restart, Shaw and Doiron went to war at the front of the pack right before another caution for the spinning Pat Corbett and Mike Scorzelli in turn one. The restart set up a final twenty-five lap dash between Shaw and Johnny Clark with Clark launching into the lead and never looked back to take the $7,000 win over Shaw and Joey Doiron.
The NEMA Lites took the stage for the Jim O’Brien Memorial 50, their first visit to White Mountain Motorsports Park since 1995. Mike Pernesiglio would quickly nab the lead, jumping to the head of the pack and staring down the barrel at 50-laps ahead. Pernesiglio Dennis Potter and Ben Mikitarian split the lap cars of Greg Clar and Mitchell O’Brien on the backstretch, amazingly able to keep things righted at over eighty-miles-an-hour. Mikitarian would lead the halfway point but Pernesiglio would not yield as they swapped lanes in and around continued bouts with lap traffic.
Mitchell O’Brien brought out the first caution on lap 32, stalled just off the white line in the infield at the start-finish line to call out the yellow. Mikitarian once again launched with the lead, grabbing almost a half lap advantage before the final caution on lap 48 with Matt O’Brien’s spin in turn four, halting him dangerously broadside in the middle of the racing groove. The green-white-checker finish saw Ben Mikitarian take the dominant win over PJ Stergios and Mike Pernesiglio in a spirited showdown of the ages for the NEMA Lites.
The Thunderstock Crown Vics rounded out Saturday’s program with eleven cars making the inaugural trip to White Mountain Motorsports Park and ten cars starting the 40-lap feature. Tyler Moore and Karson Hewins duked it out at the front for much of their feature racing action with Moore taking the win over Hewins and Spencer Moore in the popular debut of the Crown Vics at White Mountain.
