by Lou ModestinoJuly 6, 2026

Lee, NH — When the dust settled and the checkered flag unfurled at Lee USA Speedway Friday night, Southern New Hampshire race fans were on the edge of their seats. It was Round #2 in the Seacoast Late Model Challenge Series with Ryan Kuhn taking the early lead in the Reinbold Insurance #63MA. Kuhn earned the pole position in plus/minus handicap qualifying and quickly launched away with the early lead.

All things remained settled until lap 66 caution for Colby Meserve’s turn one spin to re-rack the field. Now alongside Jimmy Renfrew, Jr., the two ran side-by-side until turn three with Renfrew jumping to the bottom and rooting Kuhn up the track to steal the lead. The lap 77 restart following young Ayla Martin’s spin on the backstretch brought with it a final twist. Kuhn returned the favor in turn one on lap 83 to regain the lead by inches at the line as the two ran side-by-side with Geoff Rollins laying in wait behind them. Under the Friday Night Lights Ryan Kuhn would nail down the win seventeen laps later with Geoff Rollins edging Renfrew at the line for second overall.
