Tripleheader Weekend On Tap At Seekonk Speedway

Most Fast Friday divisions have two races in the books, but not the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars. After their first feature rained out, last week opened the season with a 30-lap Everett’s Triple Crown Series event – won by former champion Jacob “Rowdy” Burns. He dominated the race, driving to the front and driving away to the win, after also posting the fastest lap in group qualifying. Entering week two, Burns will be closely chased by Brenden LaBelle, Josh Parsons, Richie Helger Jr., Isaiah Newcomb, Brody Wakefield and others, as they return to the track for 25 more fast laps.

The Helger’s Pure Stock field has watched two different drivers mostly dominate in the first two weeks. Week one it was Mike Henriques who drove away into Victory Lane. Although Jared Cordeira may have had a fierce challenge over the final laps in week two, he drove his No. 20 to the winners circle leading nearly all 25 laps. Those two will be back – along with defending champion Brent Robidoux, Ethan Souza, Rookie of the Year contender Crystal Murray, Danny Massa and others in Friday’s first round of the Everett’s Triple Crown, set for 30 laps.

The Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Bandits are all chasing Jace Chaber through the first two events, as the youth star has won both. He’s been joined on the podium by names like Carl Satterlund Jr, Brook Meyer and Landon Solomito. Will one of the other drivers from the podium be able to break through and knock Chaber off the top this week in their 15-lap race, or is he going three-for-three? 

In the Bandolero Outlaws, two different winners so far include former Bandit champion David Bernier and opening night winner Vincent Sarro. But, it’s been Jordan Duquette and Allyha DeSomma on the podium both weeks, flopping their positions of second and third with each other in both events. As the division heads for another 15-lap battle, look for one of them to maybe grab their first career victory. Mason Silva has also been strong in the first two weeks, with top-five finishes.

After a week off due to a victory by Mother Nature, the NASCAR divisions are scheduled to be back on track Saturday night.

Jacob “Rowdy” Burns rocketed to Victory Lane the last two times on the track, showing he may be a rookie, but will have a major effort towards the title. Vinnie Arrenegado is the only other winner going into this Saturday’s 75-lap main event. Early in the season, though, it’s defending champion Dylan Estrella who shows the way in the championship battle by four points over Burns, 12 over Bobby Pelland III and 19 over Mark Jenison. Will one of these drivers be on top this week or will Mike Brightman, Colbey Fournier or rookie contender Andrew Gomes have something to say?

The Late Models rocket back to the track Saturday after a wild 45-lap opener to their Everett’s Triple Crown that ended with Luke LeBrun picking up his second victory in four events. He bested Charlie Rose in another classic Late Model showdown, and the two will certainly be threats going into the 30-lap feature. Chase Belcher has been the most consistent driver to not win so far, currently second in the championship battle, just six points back. Andrew Gomes, who is doing double duty between the Late Models and Pro Stocks, is also off to a strong start. Names like Mark Jenison, Richie Murray, Connor Souza, Brittany Campbell and more should be ones to watch this week. The Late Models will switch it up and be the final feature of the night on Saturday.

The second round of the Everett’s Triple Crown on NASCAR Saturday will begin this week with the Sport Trucks up first in their feature event. Jake Vanada is coming off a victory in the most recent 25-lap feature, putting an exclamation point on what has been a fast Truck right from week one. While he won, Mike Cavallaro and Tim Bolger joined him on the podium. Cavallaro leads the championship battle by 19 points, with four podium finishes in the first four events. The former champion certainly has figured out the Truck and looks to be in position to make another run at a championship. Bolger, Vanada, Radical Rick Martin, Ethan Heilborn and Amy Helger should all be considered favorites to try and win the second Triple Crown round. Back in the first Triple Crown event, it was Martin who went to Victory Lane, locking himself into the finale in August. Who will join him in the finals?

Sunday’s Monster Truck showdown includes not only multiple Monster Trucks, but also another race for the East Coast Towing & Recovery Spectator Drags Series. Heading for their third event of the season, Matt Desrosiers leads Liam Monaghan and Jarred Smith in their point standings.
