ee, NH — When the dust settled and the checkered flag unfurled at Lee USA Speedway Friday night, Southern New Hampshire race fans were on the edge of their seats. It was Round #2 in the Seacoast Late Model Challenge Series with Ryan Kuhn taking the early lead in the Reinbold Insurance #63MA. Kuhn earned the pole position in plus/minus handicap qualifying and quickly launched away with the early lead.
All things remained settled until lap 66 caution for Colby Meserve’s turn one spin to re-rack the field. Now alongside Jimmy Renfrew, Jr., the two ran side-by-side until turn three with Renfrew jumping to the bottom and rooting Kuhn up the track to steal the lead. The lap 77 restart following young Ayla Martin’s spin on the backstretch brought with it a final twist. Kuhn returned the favor in turn one on lap 83 to regain the lead by inches at the line as the two ran side-by-side with Geoff Rollins laying in wait behind them. Under the Friday Night Lights Ryan Kuhn would nail down the win seventeen laps later with Geoff Rollins edging Renfrew at the line for second overall.
The Ridge Runners began Friday’s showcase with Carl Gagnon taking the early lead followed closely by Derek McKeen and Trystin Bodwell around the Lee 3/8-mile. At the halfway point Tyler Fish jumped under the Bodwell machine with point leader Kyle Dumas and most recent winner Josh Hodgdon in tow. Dumas and Fish would make contact three laps later sending both to the back and resetting the field. With seven laps remaining and Hodgdon fighting hard on the outside groove, Carl Gagnon became the fourth different Ridge Runner winner in as many events this season with Hodgdon nearly sideways at the line for second and McKeen coming home third.
The MLM Diagnostic Services Crown Vics went caution free in their twenty lap main event Friday with polesitter Josh ‘Guido’ Valliere getting the launch under the green flag. Guido would face plenty of pressure from Matt Hurteau all over his rear bumper through the second half of the event but never bobbled to take down his popular first win of the season. Hurteau would come home second followed across the line by Millville, Massachusetts driver Ty Mello.
The Tri-City Lining Street Stocks rounded out the Friday program at Lee USA Speedway with Dave Cameron and Mike Williams bringing the field to green. Point leader Jason Curtis would force a three-wide move in turn two early and stole the lead while Connor McDougal tried to follow but nearly lost it all in turn three. The melee scattered the field, allowing Jimmy Renfrew, Jr. to launch into second and drove around Curtis to lead lap 8. While McDougal drove back to keep him honest, Renfrew would take the 25-lap main event with Curtis holding on to round out the podium in third.
While off next week, New Hampshire’s Center of Speed is back in action on Friday, July 17 with a four-division showdown headlined by the return of the 350 Supermodified Series! The fan-favorite 350 Supers are sure to bring the high speed action to Lee USA Speedway alongside the Tri-City Lining Street Stocks, Ridge Runners and the MLM Diagnostics Crown Vics with a 7:00pm Start Time.
