John Donahue and DerrickO’Donnell each took home tophonors Sunday at Thunder Roadwinning both ends of theMekkelsen RV Memorial DayClassic doubleheader. Donahue,a former Milk Bowl winner,fought his way around DavePembroke at the halfway mark,to claim the win in the LateModel 100-lap feature.Pembroke held on to finish sec-ond holding off Vermont Lt.Governor Phil Scott, who fin-ished third. Defending ThunderRoad Late Model champion NickSweet finished fourth and BrentDragon rounded out the top five.Donahue, who pretty much ranthe event uncontested after get-ting by Pembroke, lapped all butthe top 11 cars on his way to thewin. The 100-lap event was runin just under 29 minutes andonly saw two cautions to slowthe action. O’Donnell followedup his opening day win at theRoad, earning the victory in theBond Auto /WIX Tiger Tour 100lapper. The Bradford driver tookover the lead from BobbyTherrien and much like the LateModel event, ran the final 50laps without a serious chal-lenge. Therrien held onto secondplace to the finish but wasdropped to the final car (7th) onthe lead lap after being penal-ized for rough riding by race offi-cials. The penalty moved EricBadore to second and 2010 BondAuto/ Tiger Sportsman champi-on Tony Rossi to third. JoeSteffen and Joey Roberts round-ed out the top five. Nick Pilotte,a former Riverside Speedwaycompetitor and White MountainMotorsports Park champion,earned his first career win atThunder Road taking the win inthe Allen Lumber Street Stocks.

Late Model competitor, JeffMarshall, took to the front earlyand fought off several drivers towin Saturday night’s NorthCountry Ford Memorial 100 atRiverside Speedway. The LateModel special event was movedto the front of the feature cardas rising floodwaters in the pitarea forced speedway officials toshorten the night’s festivities.Marshall moved to the front onthe event, taking the front spotfrom early leader StevePatenaude on lap 17, and thenheld off challenges from a who’swho of top five runners thatincluded the likes of ACT regu-lar Randy Potter, last week’srace winner Jesse Switser,Maine invaded Ricky Rolfe andthree-time track championBryan Mason. Switser heldstrong to finish second withLuke Shannon third. Rolfe andDylan Switser rounded out thetop five. The final four featuresfell victim to the rising floodwa-ters that plagued the speedwayfor the third time this season.

Kevin Harvick has led a totalof nine Sprint Cup laps theentire 2011 season and Sunday

at Charlotte Motor Speedway heused one of those lead laps tocapture the Coco-Cola 600, forhis third win of the season.Harvick, who remains incon-spicuous during most races,somehow rises, like the prover-bial cream, to the top as eventswind down. Four of Harvick’slast seven wins have come onlast lap passes and his last fourwins on tracks he had not previ-ously won on. The finish was thefirst green-white-checkered fin-ish at Charlotte MotorSpeedway and the race featured36 lead changes, the most eversince 1988. It was also the sec-ond ever last lap pass for thewin at CMS, the first camewhen Jimmie Johnson passedBobby Labonte for the win in2005. NASCAR did its best tohand the event to fan favoriteand then race leader DaleEarnhardt Jr., turning its headand not throwing the yellow forcars dumping, banging andspinning down the front stretchon the final restart. Earnhardtsuccumbed to an empty fuel cell,as he exited the final turn of therace. David Ragan ran second,his best career finish, followedby Joey Logano, Kurt Busch andA. J. Allmendinger.

Bryan King used a little luck,being in the right place at theright time and inherited thelead when front-runner AdamPierson was forced to pit, to cap-ture Saturday night’s BondAuto Parts DIRTcar SportsmanModified victory at Bear RidgeSpeedway. Dan Eastman madea late charge from a 12th placestarting position to finish sec-ond in front of Jim Morgan.Sophomore driver Shane Raceearned his first victory of theyear in the Wells RiverChevrolet Sportsman Coupedivision and Derek O’Hearn sur-vived a rough-and-tumble LateModel feature to take the check-ers.

Matt Kenseth, theNationwide Series new ‘SuperSub”, subbing for recoveringDaytona 500 winner, TrevorBayne out-dueled teammateCarl Edwards to win Saturday’sTop Gear 300 at CharlotteMotor Speedway. The win wasKenseth’s first series start of theseason, his third win at CMS,his 26th career series win and

ond, as a broadcaster, made hima household name. Jarrett won50 races and the championship(1961 and ’65). Moore’s life is astorytellers dream as a WorldWar II veteran who won fivePurple Hearts and then went onto become one of the top carowners and crew chiefs inNASCAR history. Moore won 63premier series races as an own-er and three championships—asa crew chief for Buck Baker in1957 and Joe Weatherly in1962-63. David Pearson’s 105NASCAR premier series victo-ries, which ranks second all-time and three championships,place him firmly on the shortlist of “best NASCAR driversever.” Pearson never completedin every race in a season, yet tal-lied his astonishing wins totaland still won multiple champi-onships. Lee Petty, the patri-arch of one of the most success-ful families in the sports’ histo-ry, Lee joins his son Richard, inthe NASCAR Hall of Fame.Petty won 54 NASCAR premierseries races, and was the first towin three championships. Healso founded Petty Enterprises,the juggernaut that amassed 10driver championships under hiswatch.

What they’re saying “My heart goes out to all the

people that have been affectedby the devastating Missouri tor-nado on May 22nd, especially inmy hometown of Joplin. It is dif-ficult to put into words, the emo-tions I have when I see the dev-astation and destruction thatwas caused by this storm. Mythoughts and prayers areextended to all the people whoare dealing with so much loss. Iwould also like to thank allthose that have reached out tome to express their concerns formy family. Although I don’t per-sonally have any family inJoplin any longer, there are stillpeople there that need our sup-port and prayers:” Jamie

McMurray. “I want to thank Richard

Petty, too. He’s probably the onethat made me win as many(races) as I did. I ran hardbecause he’d make me run hard.Sometimes he would make amistake and I’d pass him. Ofcourse, I didn’t ever make mis-takes…I’ve had more fun run-ning with him than anybody Iever run with ‘cause I knew if Iever went to a racetrack and hewas there, if I could beat him,I’d win the race:” David Pearsonon his induction into NASCAR”sHall of Fame.
