JULY 8 AT THE BOWL
On Sunday, LaDuc finished second behind Kevin Chaffee of Bradford in the 30-lap Central Vermont Motorcycles Sportsman Modified Division main event and took the series lead in the process.
The race was delayed for 15 minutes when Brandon’s Joey Scarborough and New Hampshire rookie Tanner Siemons bumped, a collision that triggered a pile-up of half the 26 cars in the field. Most drove away, but several, including point leader Kenny Tremont Jr. sustained heavy damage and were forced to pit road; Tremont finished 22nd, allowing LaDuc to take over the series lead.
Brandon’s Quenneville worked his way through traffic and up into third place, and Scarborough survived the dust-up to finish fourth.
Preston took second behind Maine’s Jason Porter in the Portland Glass Mini Stock 20-lap race, with Vergennes driver Kaleb Shepard in fifth.
