Jim Chambers & Avery Stoehr Notch
Rifchin
Memorial Star NEMA Victories
|
New Hampshire native Jim Chambers made a thrilling pass on
Mike Horn to take down his first NEMA victory of 2018. In the Lites
division, Avery Stoehr took down an equally thrilling win, making a
last lap pass on Richie Coy to win the event.
In the NEMA
feature, Doug Cleveland and Mike Horn brought the field to the
green. After a false start, the field was called back into
formation. On the second attempt, Cleveland jumped out into the
lead. Over the first four circuits, Cleveland would lead the field,
hotly pursued by Mike Horn in the Bertrand 47 and John Zych.
On lap five, Horn ducked to the bottom of Cleveland, and took
the lead down the back stretch. Over the next five laps, Horn would
begin to stretch out his lead, as Zych maintained second, and Jim
Chambers & Randy Cabral had come from deep in the field for third
and fourth.
By lap fifteen, Chambers had made his way into
second and was hotly pursuing Horn as the duo approached heavy
lapped traffic. With eight to go, Chambers dove to the bottom of
Horn in lapped traffic and took away the top spot. Chambers would go
on to take down the win over Horn, who was fighting handling issues.
John Zych would finish third followed by Randy Cabral. Alan
Chambers, Avery Stoehr, Todd Bertrand, Alby Ovitt and Paul Scally.
"We hit the setup pretty good this time around, the car was just
a little free in the corners but it was rotating well. With about 10
to go I knew my only chance of winning was to push it as hard as i
could and not worry about saving my tires, everything else and lap
traffic just worked in my favor and we were able to take down the
win," said Chambers.
In the NEMA Lites race, pole starter
Kevin Iannarelli would jump out into the lead from the get go.
Iannarelli would dominate the first half of the feature event, as
Richie Coy, Kyle Valeri, Jake Trainor, Jim Chambers and Danny Cugini
were all vying for a top five run.
As the field approached
the halfway point, Iannarelli's car began to develop a leak, and
track officials, along with series officials made a call to black
flag the #27.
A caution with only two laps to go, when
contact between Cugini and Chambers occurred, saw Iannarelli go to
the pit, and on the restart, Richie Coy would inherit the lead.
Behind him, Avery Stoehr lined up in second, followed by Cugini.
On the restart, Stoehr would blast by Coy on the outside in turn
one, and Cugini was in tow in second. Stoehr would go on to take
down his second win of the season in the Scrivani 21, followed by
Cugini, Coy, Kyle Valeri, Ryan Locke, Jake Trainor, Randy Cabral,
Dylan Duhaime, Ben Mikitarian, and Jim Chambers.
"The car was
really hooked up tonight and the team did a great job. We caught a
good break there at the end, but you need those sometime to get the
win, so tonight we had it go our way," said Stoehr.
NEMA
picks up with the Jim O'Brien Memorial at Waterford next, followed
by the NEMA cars at Thompson on August 8th. |
