CNAF Kid’s Race Comes to Peterborough Speedway
Durgan Win First Career Sportsman Modified Feature at Airborne Park
Plattsburgh, NY- It was a special Saturday night "Topless for Dad" event in honor of Father's Day at the Airborne Park Speedway sponsored by Hebert Lawn Care and Drapeau Sanitation, and it turned out to be extra special for one driver. Caleb Durgan, an up-and-coming wheelman from Morrsionville, NY, got to celebrate his first career win in an emotional victory lane with dad after dominating the 30-lap J&S Steel feature for the sportsman modifieds. The Mohawk Valley Vintage Dirt Modifieds were also on hand for their annual visit to "The Big A" along with the pro stocks.
Durgan and Matt Leonard brought the field to the green flag, with Durgan taking command right away. Behind the leader, Brent Warren moved to second before the caution flag flew on lap 10. A battle ensued for second after the restart between Leonard, Warren, and Vince Quenneville Jr. Meanwhile, Fire Swamp was on the move from the 10th starting spot, as was Codie Aubin from the 12th position on the grid. A restart on lap 13 saw Michael Wright move to second and Aubin to third. Durgan had to fend off one more challenge with another restart on lap 18, and pulled away from Swamp and Aubin to collect the momentous win. Swamp crossed the line second, Aubin third, Nick Heywood fourth, and Quenneville fifth. Heat winners were Cory Castell, Michael Wright, and Durgan.
Speaking of young, upstart drivers, Chazy High School student Kobe Hernandez rolled to his second win of the season in the Hoosier Racing Tire limited sportsman division. Hernandez began on the outside of row one and led from start to finish. Gary English, who has been the man to beat with three wins on the season, saw his chances dampened after he was sent off of turn one after contact with the Matthew Jordan machine. With English battling issues with his car from the accident, Hernandez drove off into the night and was never threatened. Parker Dermody placed second, Winston Forbes third, Matt Little fourth, and Alex Reif fifth. Hernandez also won the lone heat race.
The pro stocks were making their second appearance of the season, and a hometown driver made short work of the field. Plattsburgh's Zack Daniels started from the pole and cruised to a flag-to-flag victory. Several drivers made a bid to challenge Daniels, but he was just too stout. Kyle Hoard gave chase early, with Denis Gauvreau moving to the runner-up spot at the midway point. A scrum between Gauvreau and Marc LaLonde sent Gauvreau backwards as LaLonde took over the second spot. It didn't matter. No one had anything for Daniels as he drove away for the win. LaLonde, Bruno Cur, Jocelyn Roy, and Horde followed Daniels underneath the checkered flag. Heat race wins went to Daniels and Hoard.
The 9th State Cannabis Renegade feature was a wild, crash-filled affair with the points leader Tylor Taylor surviving to add his fourth checkered flag of the season to his collection. Pole sitter Tyler Irwin held the point for the early laps. An incident between Shawn Duquette and Josh Terry, which also involved Travis Stokes and Tim Wilcox, brought out the caution on lap 10. After the restart, Tylor Taylor powered past Irwin and left the rest of the field in the dust to add to his impressive win total. Irwin held on for second. Nathaniel Guay, Brad Bushey, and Roland Guay closed out the top five. Nathaniel Guay and Tylor Terry won the heats.
The Crown Vics made their return to Airborne Park on Saturday, and the question was, could anyone compete with Eric Friend? Friend out of Middlebury, VT, entered the evening a perfect 3 for 3 on the season. Richie Turner led several laps early in the feature, but eventually Friend was able to impose his will and kept his unbeaten streak intact. Turner was second best by far. Norm Morrill, Scott Richner, and Jaycee Turner also enjoyed top-five finishes. Turner won the heat race.
Kenny Tourville fought off a late charging Jp Corrow to to grab a long-awaited win in the mini stock feature. Tourville didn't win in 2024 and was thrilled to be back in victory lane. Jamie Whitney Jr. set the early pace, but Tourville made a pass on the outside of turn three to move in front and stayed there the rest of the way. Corrow did his best to reel Tourville in but ran out of time. Corrow crossed the line second, Speedy Bresette third, Chad Provost fourth, and Ryan Senecal fifth. Heat winners were Tourville, Bresette, and Corrow.
Fans were treated to a stroll down memory lane as the MVVDMS competed in five divisions. Feature winners were Scot Straight in the Mystique Division, Mike Wheeler in the Antique Division, Jack Miller in the Modified Division, Frank Hoard Jr. in the Late Model Division, and Gary Reynolds in the Sportsman Division.
Sportsmen modified regular Michael Wright eliminated a huge lead by Richie Turner to claim the 50-lap enduro win. Turner opened what seemed to be an insurmountable advantage during the first half of the event, but Wright was able to chase him down. Turner held on to the runner-up spot. Cole Boutah, Jacob Fountain, and Trevor Jaques rounded out the top five.
Airborne Park Speedway will be in action on a special night this week for "Whacky Wednesday Night," featuring the always popular Kids Race Car rides.

Jeremy Roy Collects First 358 Win at Airborne Park
Jordan Fornwalt and George Foley brought the field to the green flag. Fornwalt quickly went to the point and paved the way in the early laps, but it was plain to see that Roy and defending track champion Mike Mahaney, who started eighth, had the fastest cars. Roy slipped underneath Fornwalt on a lap 16 restart and held off Mahaney to cross the line first. The rapidly closing Mahaney had to settle for second with Felix Roy, Chris Raabe, and Tim Fuller rounding out the top five. Foley and Greg Atkins collected heat race wins.
Points leader Tylor Terry continued his dominance in the 9th State Cannabis Renegade division, parking his ride in victory lane for the third time in six starts this season. Tim Wilcox and Tyler Irwin led the field to the green flag, with Irwin leading the first several laps, but Terry was on the move, advancing from eighth to second by lap four. Irwin slipped high out of turn two on lap six, and Terry took advantage. Caution flew on lap 17 to tighten up the field, but no one had anything for Terry. Shawn Duquette, Nathaniel Guay, Irwin, and Brad Bushey completed the top 5. Heat race wins went to TylorTerry and Irwin.
In the J&S Steel Sportsman Modified feature, Nick Heywood hustled the high line to navigate his way from the 14th position on the grid to victory lane, outdueling Jamy Begor for his second win of the year. Begor started on the pole and seemed to have everything under control, but what he didn't know was that Heywood was slicing through the field like a hot knife through butter. Even after being overtaken by Heywood, Begor changed his racing line and continued to pressure the leader. Heywood was finally able to put some distance between himself and his closest challenger in the closing laps. Donovan Lussier rallied from a trip to the garage area and a restart at the back of the pack to finish third, followed by Fire Swamp and Vince Quenneville Jr. Caleb Durgan, Begor, and Heywood were heat race winners.
As is typically the case, the mini stock division put on an action-packed show in their 15-lap main event. Glenn Engstrom appeared to have the car to beat early on as he led the first half of the race. While Engstrom was cruising out front, defending track champion Ryan Senecal was meticulously weaving his way toward the front. After the midway point, a five-car battle including Engstrom, Senecal, Josh Laporte, Stephen Bressett, and Josh Fountain began to unfold. Senecal survived the fray and pulled away late for his second win of the season. Bresette finished second after starting 27th, Engstrom was third, Fountain fourth, and Laporte fifth. Jp Corrow, Engstrom, and Bresette won their respective heat races.
Gary English has been dominant in the Hoosier Tire Limited Sportsmen Division so far in 2025, but with him not in attendance, other drivers had the opportunity to collect a feature win. Kobe Hernandez recovered from an early race slip-up to come from behind for his second win of the season. Up-and-coming Lea-Jeanne Lauziere jumped out to the lead from her position on the pole and appeared poised to grab her first career win. With the Lauziere machine seemingly losing the handle, Hernandez took command on lap 12 and wasn't challenged the rest of the way. Chasing Hernandez across the finish line were Parker Dermondy, Raelin Dunham, Garin Thompson, and Lauziere, who recovered from a late race spin for a top-five outing. Lauziere and Dunham won heat races.
Racing returns to Airborne Park on Thursday, June 12, with a makeup night of racing featuring the 358 Super DirtCar Series and DirtCar Sportsman Series in the "Battle of Plattsburgh." The 358 modifieds will compete for 75 Laps and $5,000 to win. The sportsman drivers will tangle for 30 Laps and $1500 to win. Renegades, Mini Stocks, and Limited Sportsman will also be on the card.
