The Skinny: Davis was unchallenged for most of the race while the field battled for position behind him. On lap 85, Bryan Kruczek spun in turn two and made hard contact with the outside wall. At that point, rain started to fall from the clouds and the race was called official.

 

Winning Quote: “I was pretty much just riding out front.  I was really good pretty much in the grass on the bottom of one and two, so I just rode around down there.  It started getting a little wet so I backed it off a bit.” – Jeremy Davis

Qualifying Format: Three 12-lap qualifying heat races will set the field for tonight’s race.

 

Event Schedule: Qualifying heat races begin at 2:10 p.m. ET with Classic Lites and Pro Four Modifieds joining the Granite State Pro Stock Series. Classic Lites will then have a 20-lap feature before a GSPSS consolation race. Pro Four Modifieds will complete a 25-lap race before the 100-lap GSPSS main event.

 

Who to Watch For: Jeremy Davis is a proven winner in Super Late Models and should be a threat here today. Lee USA Speedway is Bryan Kruczek’s home track, so he could be tough to beat. Another local driver, Joe Squeglia, was a PASS winner at Lee last year.

 

Title Fight: This is the first race of the season for the Granite State Pro Stock Series.

 

The Track: Lee USA Speedway is a flat 1/3-mile oval located in Lee, New Hampshire.

 

Weather: Temperatures are in the low 50s with partly cloudy skies above.

 

Next Series Race: The Granite State Pro Stock Series heads to Riverhead Raceway (NY) on May 20.
