The Norwich Bulletin Mini Stocks kicked off Sunday’s progam with their 50-lap race. Jeff Mehlenbacher of Groton used his outside front row starting position to lead the first seven laps when the first caution waved for a single car spin off turn four. Chris Williams of Niantic bolted to the race lead following the restart, taking over at lap eight and holding the position through two restarts. Points contender Louis Bellisle III of Lisbon moved in to challenge advancing into the second position.
The complexion of the points race turned downhill for Rhode Island’s Kyle James, second in the standings entering the event. On lap 14 he got collected in an incident with fellow Rhode Island native Bill Leonard and Ken Cassidy Jr. of Lisbon while battling for the third position. James resumed after pitting with damage.
Bellisle moved to the lead at lap 15 taking over from Williams. Throughout several caution periods plaguing the race, points leader Danny Field of Deep River stayed free and clear of the trouble. He steadily picked off cars to move to Bellisle’s bumper by lap 27. He would not challenge for the win however, riding in second through the checkered flag to capture his third division championship.
Bellisle won the race and finished second in the standings. Williams was third in the race, Sean Caron of Hartford fourth, and Leonard was fifth. James came back for sixth and placed third in the final standings. |
