July 9th at Canaan Speedway was the site of the GSMS action the 600’s rolled out for their heat with a ruff track ahead of them. Luke Greenwood and Tim Beard made up the front row, with Luke grabbing the lead at the start and never let go while the battle for 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots with Terry Reil, Johnny Chestnut, Tim Beard and Troy Boissoneau. With no yellow flag thrown and a lot of passing the heat went by quickly with the #89 of Luke winning, #11 Terry 2nd, #2 Troy (subbing for Josh) 3rd, #75L Johnny 4th, #13 Doug McPhail 5th, #28 Tim 6th and #7S Derek Elderidge finishing 7th. The second heat for the 600’s saw Matt Robie and Brian Gray leading the charge, Brian and Matt battled for the top spot while Anthony Nocella, Rich Crooker and Barry Coolen battled for 3rd, 4th and 5th spots. Again no yellows and at the checker you saw #3V Brian take home the heat win with #75 Matt 2nd, #21 Rich 3rd #92 Anthony 4th and Barry 5th with car troubles. The 500’s took to the track for their heat with #77 Troy on the pole and son Josh on the outside pole. When the green fell Troy grabbed the lead with #33 Lacey Hanson hot on his heels, after a couple tries from Lacey for the lead she took over the top spot followed by #6 Larry who now is challenging for the lead. Larry grabs the lead moving Lacey back one spot while Troy develops car problems and pulls off moving Josh, Peter, Robert, Todd and Laury all up one spot each. When the checkered came out #6 Larry took home the heat win with Lacey 2nd, #05 of Josh 3rd, #04 of Peter Belliveau 4th, #28 Robert 5th, #77 Troy 6th, #63 Todd 7th and #97 of Laury Clark in 8th with car problems as well. The features started with the 600’s first rolling out on the track with a better surface than the heat. The front row was made up of the #75 and the #3V, when the green waved it only took 3 turns before the action started with a bad crash. Turn 4 was the scene where Brian, Tim Terry and Doug all came together with Tim rolling 2 times and Brian and Doug with a head on collision and Doug rolling also. Everybody walked away unscathed but Doug needed to go to the hospital later with pains to his back and foot. Once the race got underway again, Matt grabbed the lead and would not let go Johnny and Luke tried to challenge Matt but had no success. In the middle of the pack it was a free for all the spots where changing once or twice every lap. When the checkered waved #75 of Matt took home the bacon in 1st place, #75L Johnny in 2nd, #89 Luke with 3rd, #21 Rich 4th, #92 of Anthony 5th, #7S of Drew Elderidge 6th, the 7th spot of #11 Terry, #2 Troy in 8th (with an early exit when the right front tire went down) #13M Doug in 9th, #28 Tim 10th, #3V Brian for the 11th spot and #44 of Barry finishing the pack in 12th spot. The 500’s came out for their feature and thank god it did not start like the 600’s. #77 of Troy and #33 of Lacey made the front row, when the green waved Troy and Lacey took it to turn one and two but down the back stretch Josh went high and passed both making it three wide into turn three. Out of turn four Josh had the lead Lacey second Larry third and Troy fourth. Larry tried to get Josh a couple of times but with the help of a lapped car Larry made a move low and Josh went high around the lapped car of #97 Laury to take the lead and Josh on every lap tried to take it back but had no success. In the end the #6 of Larry took home his third feature win with Josh in 2nd, Lacey 3rd, Laury 4th, Todd 5th and Troy in 6th with a broken chain.
