The Skinny: Patnode, a Monadnock hometrack driver, scored his second career MRS victory while chaos erupted behind him over the final 30 laps. Richard Savary was one driver that got caught up in a wreck and managed to march back to finish second. Points leader Jon McKennedy finished the night early with a broken a-frame on the 29 car.

 

Winning Quote:

 

Winning Crew Chief:  No designated crew chief

 

Winning Chassis: Troyer

 

Winning Shocks: Pro Shocks

 

Winning Engine: Unknown (according to Patnode)

 

On the Move: Richard Savary’s battle back to the front got him another runner up.

 

Biggest Loser: Russ Hersey led the first 67 laps, but a worn out tire sent him to the back and later a broken trialing arm ended the night.
