Nocella Holds Off Thundering Herd
for Bullring Bash Win at WMMP |
N. Woodstock, NH - Woburn, MA's Anothy Nocella
fended off a snarling pack of the top Tour-type Modified racers
in the Northeast to win the Bullring Bash Thunder in the
Mountains 100 at N. Woodstock's White Mountain Motorsports Park
on Saturday, August 10. Nocella took the lead for the final time
from Grantham's Mike Willis on lap 69 and was never headed from
there, capturing the inaugural event for the Bullring Bash
Quarter Mile Challenge presented by
RaceChoice.com.
Nocella earned the pole in qualifying and set the early pace
after a pair of opening-lap yellows. However, the tone for the
event was set early, as Woody Pitkat, Willis, Richard Savary,
and Kirk Alexander were breathing down Nocella's neck right from
the start. Going into turn three on lap 17, Stafford, CT's
Pitkat dove inside Nocella, flying into the lead as Nocella got
freight-trained back to fourth on the outside.
The third caution on lap 44 for Russ Hersey's spin gave Willis
his chance at the point. Pitkat chose the inside for the initial
restart attempt, then opted for the outside on the next two
tries to get the race going again. When the green flag finally
flew, Willis made the inside work and the current Modified
Racing Series (MRS) point leader drove into the lead. Nocella
followed Willis through to second after Savary had given up the
third spot to pit under yellow.
The hard-charging nature of the race picked up right where it
left off with Tonawanda, NY's Andy Jankowiak soon joining the
front five to make it a six-car battle for the top spot. At the
front, Nocella spent nearly 20 laps working Willis over, taking
multiple looks to the inside off turn four. As the field
completed the 68th lap, Nocella finally made the turn-four dive
stick, and the former MRS Champion completed the pass for the
top spot on the following circuit.
Just one lap later, Savary and Jankowiak tangled in turns three
and four to bring out the fourth and final caution. Pitkat again
had troubles on the restart, apparently missing a shift and
falling to the back of the pack. The top-five duked it out to
the finish from there, with Nocella, Willis, Savary, Alexander,
and Jankowiak just inches apart.
Nocella drifted up the racetrack a little bit on multiple
occasions with Willis ready to pounce at any opportunity. But
the hole never fully opened and Nocella took the checkered flag
to earn the $3,500 top prize.
Willis finished second while Jankowiak made a pair of late moves
to complete the podium. Savary and Alexander completed the
top-five. Pitkat, Chris Bolton, Geoff Rollins, George Sherman,
and Hersey rounded out the top-10.
Pelham's Casey Call earned a thrilling win of his own in the
35-lap main event for the Midstate Site Development Legends.
Call also started on the pole and faced multiple challenges en
route to the victory. West Newton, MA's Luke LeBrun was hot on
Call's tail early as part of a five-car battle that also
included Peter Bennett, Brandon Martinez, and Jack Walker.
Cromwell, CT's Bennett got underneath LeBrun for second on lap
13, which allowed Call to pull away slightly - but the top
runners quickly closed back up again.
The race took a chaotic turn beginning on lap 23 with four
cautions over the next five circuits. When the first yellow flag
flow for Kevin Oliver's turn-two spin, LeBrun got into the back
of Bennett, causing hood damage the forced him to pit. That left
Bennett and Martinez to challenge Call on the quartet of
restarts. Each time, Call timed his jump perfectly to remain out
front. Bennett then spun while making one final diving attempt
in turn one with two laps to go, allowing Call to hang on for
the win.
Martinez finished second while LeBrun made a remarkable drive
through the field over the final 12 laps to take third. His
brother Luke LeBrun, Walker, Mason Levesque, Devin Deshaies,
Kyle Rogers, Shileigh Martinez, and Oliver finished fourth
through 10th.
Groveton's Quinny Welch conquered the Foley Oil & Propane Late
Models for his fifth win of the season. The seven-time champion
and current point leader started eighth in the 50-lap feature
and remained patient as the field battled it out in front of him
early.
Moultonborough's Matt Morrill grabbed the lead on lap three, and
for more than half the event, he was able to use the outside
line to keep the pack at bay. At one point following the event's
first caution on lap-20, Morrill led a seven-car pack, with St.
Johnsbury, VT's Stacy Cahoon never quite able to make the inside
lane stick on Morrill.
Once Morrill finally cleared Cahoon, Welch seized the newfound
opening, powering through the pack and getting around Morrill
with 20 laps to go. The second and final caution came out five
laps later when Lyndonville, VT's Scott Corey went hard into the
turn-four tire barriers. Welch walked away from the field after
the green flew again to take the victory and move closer to an
eighth championship.
Morrill held off a four-car battle down the stretch to finish
second. Cahoon came in third followed by Derek Ming and Oren
Remick. Stephen Donahue, Evan Hallstrom, Allie Menard, Jon
Savage, and Mike Foster also earned top-10 finishes.
Barton, VT's Shane Sicard took his third straight win and
seventh of the year in the Wells River Chevrolet Flying Tigers.
Sicard spent the first half of the 35-lap feature battling with
his brother Jody Sicard of Gilmanton as Jody was able to use the
momentum of the high side to maintain the lead. As the field
came to the halfway signal, Shane finally cleared Jody, and the
defending champion sped off to the victory in the caution-free
event.
Jody Sicard came in second with Bradford, VT's Amanda Wheeler
grabbed the third spot late in the going. Michael Potter and
first-time Tiger driver Ben Belanger completed the top-five.
White Mountain Motorsports Park returns to action this Saturday,
August 17 at 6:30pm. All five divisions are in action with the
Wells River Chevrolet Flying Tigers going 75 laps in the finale
of their Triple Crown Series. The 7-Eleven Dwarf Cars will also

Helliwell Takes Advantage of Late
Tangle to Win Midsummer 250
-
Sicard, Sicard, & Brown
Triumphant in Weekly Action |
N. Woodstock, NH - Dover, NH's Wayne Helliwell
Jr. was in the right place at the right time to score the
victory and the $10,000 top prize in the American-Canadian Tour
(ACT) Midsummer 250 at N. Woodstock, NH's White Mountain
Motorsports Park (WMMP) on Saturday, August 3. Helliwell took
the lead with four laps remaining after Jimmy Hebert and Scott
Payea tangled on a restart, then held off a last-lap bid by
Graniteville, VT's Stephen Donahue for the win.
Helliwell's sudden rise to the top spot was just the latest
twist in a race that was full of them. The three-time ACT
champion had been running in the top-five through the late
stages, but Hebert seemed to have the race in hand as the laps
wound down - a feat made even more impressive by going the whole
way on the same four tires.
But Trent Goodrow spun in turn two to bring out the event's 11th
caution on lap 246. The yellow allowed Payea - who had already
led 40 laps after starting 23rd - to draw to Hebert's outside.
The first two attempts at the restart were waved off, and on the
third try, the lead duo got together entering turn two. Payea
spun and both drivers were sent to the rear. That put Donahue
and Helliwell on the front row for the restart, and when the
green flag waved again, Helliwell made the outside groove work
to grab his 12th career ACT Late Model Tour win.
Donahue was the dominant driver early, taking the lead from
polesitter Scott Dragon on lap four and staying out front for
more than 70 laps. A competition caution for a fuel stop on lap
75 closed the field back up, and after the caution came back out
three laps later for Jonathan Bouvrette's spin, Groveton, NH's
Quinny Welch drove past him to take the top spot. During the
caution, ACT point leader Rich Dubeau was one of a handful of
drivers to change tires as strategy began to play itself out.
Donahue and Welch swapped the lead twice more after another pair
of quick cautions before the field settled into a long green
flag run. Welch, the WMMP Late Model point leader, proceed to
lead 87 straight laps before Mark Jension hit the turn-two wall
on lap 170 to bring out the sixth caution. During that yellow,
all lead-lap cars except for Hebert, Dubeau, and Adam Gray came
to the pits for tires. At that point, Williamstown's Hebert was
the only driver in the field still on the same tires he started
with, and he assumed command for the restart.
Hebert led the next nine laps until another yellow flew for
Gray's turn-two crash. The outside had been the place to be on
restarts all night, and this time, it was Payea's turn to ride
the rim, completing his drive to first after needing to qualify
through the B-Feature. Payea led the next 40 laps, but on the
race's next restart at lap 219 for Jesse Switser's spin, Payea
succumbed to the inside curse as Donahue took the lead back.
During this time, Hebert had hung with the leaders even on his
old tires. As Donahue and Payea diced for the point, Hebert saw
a chance and made a daring three-wide move into turn three with
22 laps to go. Just seconds after Hebert crossed the line in
first, Corey Mason spun in turn two to bring out the ninth
caution, locking the pass into the record books. Mason was
subsequently disqualified from the event for intentionally
hitting another car under the caution.
All the while, Helliwell was lurking. The veteran started 15th
and spent the first two-thirds of the event hanging around the
back half of the top-10. Once the mass tire stop occurred on
lap-170, he started creeping closer and closer to the front.
Helliwell broke into the top-three for the first time on lap 206
and bounced between the third and fourth spot for the next 40
laps, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
That opportunity finally arrived with four laps to go. Hebert
had managed to make the inside work on a lap-236 restart from a
debris caution, but Goodrow's spin put Hebert and Payea
side-by-side one more time with Donahue and Helliwell right
behind. The contact between the leaders opened the door for
Helliwell, and while Donahue tried to sneak back through in the
final corners, "The Punisher" brought home the win. It was
Helliwell's second straight victory at WMMP after taking the New
Hampshire Governor's Cup the week before.
Donahue earned an ACT career-best second-place finish. Barre,
VT's Jason Corliss was quiet most of the night but also took
advantage of the late tangle to come home third. Milton, VT's
Scott Dragon took fourth with Plainfield, NH's Dubeau rounded
out the top-five. Welch, Ryan Kuhn, Payea, Joel Hodgdon, and
Hebert finished sixth through 10th.
Jonathan Bouvrette, Dylan Payea, and Dubeau won the qualifying
heats. Helliwell and Christopher Pelkey were victorious in the
consolation rounds while Cody LeBlanc captured the last-chance
B-Feature.
Barton, VT's Shane Sicard picked up his second straight win and
sixth of the year in the Wells River Chevrolet Tigers. Sicard
went neck-and-neck with his brother Jody at the front for nearly
the entire first half of the 35-lap feature before grabbing the
lead on the 16th circuit.
Shane then began to pull away while Jody and Cooper Bouchard
went at it for second - a battle that came to an end when
Bouchard tagged Sicard coming off turn two with 10 laps
remaining. Jody Sicard went for a spin to bring out the caution
and both drivers were sent to the rear for the restart. Shane
then held off Bradford, VT's Amanda Wheeler and E. Burke, VT's
Colin Cornell down the stretch for the victory. Polesitter
Nathaniel Parkin took fourth while Matthew Potter finished fifth
as a last-minute substitute for his uncle Michael.
Another Sicard found Victory Lane in the Woodsville Guaranty
Savings Bank Strictly Stock Mini's as Barton, VT's Adam Sicard
took his fourth win of the season. Sicard came from 11th on the
starting grid in the 25-lap feature and worked his way to the
front as rookie Jillian Baumgardner and veteran Brett Jackson
went at it at the front.
The event's first caution on lap 14 allowed Sicard to close up,
and he had negotiated his way to the second spot when the second
yellow flew with six laps to go after Les Washburn's machine
came to a halt. Jackson then slipped up on the restart, allowing
Sicard to drive underneath and motor off to the victory.
Passumpsic, VT's Jamie Ball powered his way to second in the
final dash to the finish. The division's two top rookies, E.
Burke, VT's Darren Newland and Littleton's Tyler Thompson, were
third and fourth while point leader Ryan Ware of Littleton came
in sixth. Dustin Jackson, Brett Jackson, Kodi Sabins, Nate
Walton, and Baumgardner completed the top-10.
Lincoln's "Downtown" Bobby Brown snapped Andy Hill's four-race
winning streak in the 7-Eleven Dwarf Cars. Brown started on the
outside pole of the 25-lap feature and immediately wheeled it
around Northfield, VT's Timothy Sherman Jr. for the top spot.
Hill gave chase from the 12th starting spot and was already up
to second by lap seven. But Brown was able to hold off Hill
following the second caution and lap-14, and while Hill remained
glued to Brown's bumper for the rest of the event, Brown stayed
out front to take the win.
Hill padded his point lead with the second-place finish while
Gilmanton's Tommy Smithers came in third. Norm Forest, Jeff
Ainsworth, Dave Gyger, Ethan Tyrrell, Kevin Wyman, Chad Dufour,
and Sherman also earned top-10 finishes.

WMMP Increases Weekly Purses
for The 2019 Season |
N. Woodstock, NH - Many racers at N. Woodstock,
NH's White Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP) are already noticing
some extra cash in their pockets this season. Track ownership
announced today that it has increased weekly purses for all
point-counting divisions that race regularly at the 1/4-mile
oval.
These changes were made effective beginning with the
season-opening Caron Fabrication Spring Green. The higher weekly
awards could result in an increased net payout of well more than
$30,000 to WMMP drivers over the course of the 2019 season.
Special events in the Late Models, Flying Tigers, and Strictly
Stock Minis that have been added include even higher purses on
top of those given out weekly.
"We wanted to do something extra to reward the drivers who
support White Mountain," managing partner Cris Michaud said. "We
realize that, while nobody at this level is racing to make
money, a few extra dollars can make a big difference in a racing
budget. We also wanted to make sure everybody throughout the
field is getting something for their efforts instead of just the
top two or three finishers."
Purse changes in the Foley Oil & Propane Late Models primarily
focus on the back half of the top-10 in the main event. The
fourth- through seventh-place finishers are all getting a raise
of $50 per position with increases for eighth and ninth as well.
All starters in a 50-lap feature will receive at least $120 with
additional bonuses for making the semi-feature.
The Wells River Chevrolet Flying Tigers have received pay bumps
from the second spot on back versus 2018. Second-place money has
increased from $175 to $235 while third place has jumped from
$150 to $200. All Flying Tiger feature starters now receive a
minimum of $100. All told, a regular weekly feature will pay out
over 30 percent more money this year than last.
The Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank Strictly Stock Minis are
getting big pay boosts throughout the field. The prize money for
winning a weekly feature has increased from $100 to $150. Second
and third will receive $125 and $100, respectively. Meanwhile,
start money has more than doubled from $20 to $50 for those who
run the feature each week.
Perhaps the biggest change to the purse structure is in the WMMP
Dwarf Cars. This year, the feature winner will collect $200, a
raise of more than 300 percent than the $60 they received last
year. The rest of the top-five also get three figures. Finishers
from sixth on back, along with non-starters, receive $50.
White Mountain Motorsports Park closes out the month of May on
Saturday, May 25 at 6:30pm. The Foley Oil & Propane Late Models
celebrate the arrival of warmer weather with the Spring Board
100. There is also a full card for the Wells River Chevrolet
Flying Tigers, Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank Strictly Stock
Minis, and Dads 4 By Tool & Supply Kids Trucks. Admission is $12
for adults, $3 for kids ages 6-12, and $25 for the new family
ticket (2 adults, 2 kids).

Bullring Bash to Debut 3-Event Slate
of Modified & Legends Events in 2019 |
Attleboro, MA - 12-12-18 - Modified
racing will return to White Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP) and
Thunder Road Speedbowl in 2019 with the inaugural Bullring Bash
Quarter Mile Challenge. The promotion includes three brand new
events that will feature many of the top Modified and Legends
Cars drivers and teams in New England.
The Bullring Bash Quarter Mile Challenge brings Modified and
Legends Cars racing back to an area of northern New England that
has been asking for its return. The events will feature some of
the highest paying purses and most unique racing formats in
modern grassroots motorsports.
The first Bullring Bash event will take place on Sunday, June 16
at WMMP. It will be joined by previously announced events at
WMMP on August 10, and Thunder Road Speedbowl on September 14.
"With the Bullring Bash Quarter Mile Challenge, we're looking to
take the promotion of Modified and Legends racing in New England
to the next level," said Bullring Bash founder Josh Vanada, a
veteran of multiple national and regional motorsports
promotions. "We've assembled a team of the most talented
personnel available in order to put on three incredible events
in 2019, and we'll be racing at two of the most exciting
facilities in New England in White Mountain Motorsports Park and
Thunder Road Speedbowl. The stakes are high, and the intensity
on-track will be even higher."
"We're looking forward to hosting the Bullring Bash Quarter Mile
Challenge at Thunder Road and WMMP," said Cris Michaud, the
co-owner of both tracks. "It's been a long time since Modifieds
have raced at either facility, and a number of fans have told
the various track management teams over the years that they
hoped we would bring them back. We think the Bullring Bash is
the right opportunity for us to do so."
The three-event Bullring Bash calendar for the 2019 season is as
follows:
• June 16, 2019: White Mountain Motorsports Park, North
Woodstock, NH - POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN
• August 10, 2019: White Mountain Motorsports Park,

• September 14, 2019: Thunder Road Speedbowl, Barre, VT
Further announcements regarding the inaugural Bullring Bash
Quarter Mile Challenge, including event distances, rules and

Cars participants, will be made over the coming weeks and months
leading up to the inaugural event.

2019 WMMP
Season Pass Form |
N. Woodstock, NH - 11-21-18 - White Mountain Motorsports
Park (WMMP) officials announced today that the track will be
offering adult general admission season passes for the 2019
season. It will be the first time season passes can be purchased
in the track's 26-year history.
A season's pass will cost $215 and is good for general admission
to all 19 auto racing events at the New Hampshire oval. The
price is a savings of $74 - more than 25 percent - versus buying
a separate adult admission ticket to all events.
Season pass order forms are now available on the WMMP website at
the link above. They can also be ordered by calling the track
offices at (802) 244-6963.
"Season passes are a great way to reward your diehard and loyal
fans," WMMP managing partner Cris Michaud said. "They offer
great savings for the people who are at every event, and it
saves them from having to wait in line at the ticket booth. A
season pass is a great Christmas gift or birthday present, too!"
The WMMP 2019 schedule is posted on the track website. The
19-event schedule includes two events each for the
American-Canadian Tour and Pro All Stars Series, a tour-type
Modified event, a Flying Tiger Triple Crown Series, and a
season-ending Enduro 200.

youngsters of any age will be
allowed to enter the pit area for that days’ event. All
necessary release forms must be filled out and turned in to
