The forecast showed rain all afternoon and for a while the skies opened up and it rained at the track. The races were pushed back an hour or so but then the Sprint Cars of new England got the call to take the track for the make-up Triple Crown event that had been rained out earlier this season.
Lacey started the feature near the back of the pack and only a few laps in connected with another car, sending the #33 into the front stretch wall. Lacey crawled out the car under her own power and only suffered a minor cut to one leg. The car on the other hand… suffered substantial damage. The chassis is twisted and broken along with many, many parts. The team is trying to find a way to get Lacey on the track for the Octoberfast race at Canaan Fair Speedway. Currently, they are going through the car to see what parts can be salvaged. Lacey would like to thank everyone who has called or messaged to see how she is doing. She really appreciates it. The #13 of Stephen Hutchinson found some mechanical problems with his car during weekly maintenance and was unable to race Saturday at Bear Ridge. The problems will be fixed over the winter and he will return to race with SCoNE next season with his rookie year out of the way and some experience under his belt. The team will be at Bear Ridge Speedway this Saturday night for the final race of the GSMS season. Hope to see you all there.

Saturday night was the second to last race on the GSMS schedule. Lacey had both her 500cc and 600cc mini sprints there. Lacey finished 1st in the 500cc car after a great race with the #51. She also came home in 3rd with her 600cc car. Third is her best finish at Bear Ridge Speedway in her 600cc mini sprint this season.
Kyle Belliveau who normally drives the #15 500 mini sprint but was in the #05 Saturday night, suffered a broken arm in the feature. We would like to wish him a speedy recovery. Sunday was the last race on schedule for the 007 mini stock at Devil's Bowl Speedway. After starting 14th and making it to 3rd place, engine problems forced the 007 to the pit on the last lap. Lacey would like to send a huge thank you to Mike Dundon and family for allowing her to race the 007 at the bowl this year. "I have had so much fun racing the 007. I can't thank Mike enough for allowing me to race here this year. Racing with Mike and Jake has been a blast." Congratulations to Jake Noble on being the 2013 Mini Stock Champion! Lacey and Steve will be racing their 360 sprint cars at Bear Ridge Speedway on Saturday September 21th. This will be the last time you can see the SCoNE cars at Bear Ridge this year. The club will be running double features if time allows. Hope to see you all there. First off, we'd like to apologize for the long delay in updating the website. Weekly updates should now be available through the end of the season. Thank you for sticking with us.
This season has turned out to be the best season for the sprint car team. In the second half of the season, the 360 sprint has captured two 5th places finishes along with a 2nd at Canaan Fair Speedway a few weeks ago. With the season winding down and only 2 nights of racing left, the team hopes to keep up the good work and end out the year on a high note. Last race at Legion Speedway, Lacey was running 7th when the car lost oil pressure. The car was pushed to the pits and the team later found out the oil pump shaft had broken. That has since been fixed and the car is running good. The #13 of Stephen Hutchinson continues to have a great rookie season. He has kept his car in one piece and is progressing all while having a blast learning to drive his car. He has achieve his goal of passing cars during a feature event and finishing on the lead lap. Successful season already. The Sprint Cars of New England have this weekend off but will be at Bear Ridge Speedway on September 21st for the final feature of our Triple Crown event and also a regular night’s heats and feature if time allows. The Granite State Mini Sprints will be at Bear Ridge Speedway this weekend (9/14). With a huge 500cc division, an always fast & exciting 600cc class and only two races left on the GSMS schedule, fans are in store for some tight wheel to wheel racing. Lacey will drive the 007 mini stock at Devil’s Bowl Speedway this Sunday afternoon in the last race of the season at Devil’s Bowl Speedway. Hope to see you all there. |
