Ted Dupre took command at the commence of the hotly contested 20-lap Street Stock race. Walt Hovey, Al Stone III and Ron Oldham raced hard and made their way to the top three positions as the race stayed green. The trio moved out to a straightaway advantage over the rest of the field which continued to sort itself out behind. The first caution of the event came with just three laps remaining when Jim Procaccini came to rest against the wall in turn 3.
On the restart the complexion of the race got interesting. The action in the lead pack intensified and contact crossed up several cars including that of Hovey, the race leader. Hovey went sideways into turn one but was able to save his car momentarily as Stone challenged him for the top spot. Brandon Plemons, Phil Evans and others spun off the apron of turn two, but Stone and Hovey also made contact spinning into turn three. Caution waved and the running order was completely reset.
Oldham, from Old Saybrook, emerged from the turmoil unscathed and would go on to his second win of the year over Steve Barrett, Ted Dupre, Mark Cooper, and Jack Aquilina. Oldham stretched his points lead over Plemons and Stone in the process. |
