Race Night May 28/10 at Delaware Speedway! Recap, results, photos.

WINS FOR LINDSAY AND KENNEDY IN TRIPLE CROWN RACES!

 

May 28, 2010 (London, Ontario) This season's first of the three-race Triple Crown series was run at Delaware Friday night with two 25-lap NASCAR Late Model feature races.   Despite having the fastest time in time trials, defending NASCAR Late Model champ Steve Robblee had to settle for a pair of second place finishes – a situation he's put plenty of other drivers in over the years.  The first two Triple Crown races of the 2010 season were taken by Scott Lindsay and Jesse Kennedy.  Robblee moves into the top spot in points. 

 

 

The first of the NASCAR Late Model features was Lindsay's to lose.  He was out front by a couple of car lengths, then by half a straightaway, and held on the whole way through several cautions. 

The battle was for second between Steve Robblee and Ron Sheridan.  A brief caution at lap 14 was followed a lap later by another yellow flag as Jamie Grover, Shawn Thompson and Marc Jacobs entangled.  Thompson headed into the pits to get his lid taped down. 

More trouble at lap 17 with Doug Stewart and Mark Watson.  It appeared Watson may have gotten loose and Stewart came in with his hood up over the windshield.  Damage was also sustained to the front of the #51 of Matt Robblee which will be raced by Kyle Busch in Delaware's Summer Showdown on July 7th.  Lindsay was followed by Steve Robblee and Ron Sheridan.

Robblee was also held to a second place finish by second NASCAR Late Model winner Jesse Kennedy. Robblee had made an impressive run for the lead from his start at 18th. 

A caution in the first lap over some contact between Jamie Ramsay and Scott Lindsay forced Ramsay to head to the pits for a new right rear tire.  An unrelated connection elsewhere on the track damaged the hood of David Elliot. Rick Emery got taken out at lap 14 when Andrew Gresel spun out and Emery had nowhere else to go.  Jesse Kennedy took the win with Robblee second and Mark Watson third.

In Super Stocks, Kris Lawrence took his first ever feature win.  In victory lane, Kris said he was proud to carry on his father's legacy in the division.

In second place, for the final few laps, Stephen Richmond tried very hard to overtake Lawrence, tapping his bumper a few times but simply couldn't pass him and ended up in second place with Jason Lidster third.

Jeff Showler's comeback from a wreck at the start of the season ended in victory in The Demar Aggregate Trucks feature race. 

Lonny Thompson did a solo 360 spin on turn one at lap 3.  A lap later Thompson's truck was collateral damage as Devon Bloemendal's engine blew and he also took out Thompson.

Two laps later, Gordon Dupuis and then-division points leader Michelle Korcina made contact sparking the third caution of the race and ending Korcina's night at the end of a hook.  She had been the points leader in the division heading into tonight's race and won one of the heats.  Her brother Matt Korcina only made 5 more laps before his #93 suffered a mechanical failure.

Another caution at lap 12 – Gary Adriaensen took a spin on turn four and Derek Clark, just back in the game after two weeks out for repairs, hit Adriaensen's 55.

Showler's commanding lead slowly eroded as defending champ Fothergill made a run for it but Fothergill couldn't close the gap.  Fothergill finished second and Steve McCaw, third.

Next weekend we have two jam-packed days of racing action at Delaware!
