Alexander Leads Flag To Flag In Monadnock Victory:
Winchester, NH: (July 4, 2009) - Kirk Alexander of West
Swanzey, New Hampshire drove from the outside pole
position and into a lead he would never relinquish,
winning the “Firecracker 100” for the True Value
Modified Series at the Monadnock Speedway on Saturday
night.Alexander
was pursued early in the race by Les Hinckley, but
Hinckley was no match for Alexander during the second
half of the event, and he settled for a second place
finish in front of the packed grandstands at the
quarter-mile oval.
Rowan Pennink finished a close third, with Dwight Jarvis
and Rob Goodenough rounding out the top five.
The race was slowed by
eleven caution periods, mostly for spinouts. Mike
Douglas Jr., was spun out of a probable fourth place
finish after contact from Jim Boniface with 87 laps
completed.
Steve Masse retook the
point lead from Jon McKennedy after a hard fought sixth
place finish. McKennedy lost three laps in the pit area
having a broken suspension bolt replaced.
There were 25 race
teams competing, and all were allowed to start the main
with no consolation race being run. The race was
completed in just under 57 minutes.
Next on the schedule
for the True Value Modified Series is the “Port City 100
Presented By LATICRETE”, which takes place on Friday,
July 10 and pays a $500 bonus to the race winner, plus a
pay increase for every finishing position, courtesy of
