Gee Perry winning Heat 2.
The AllStar Race Truck Series ran a 30-lap feature
event. Chris Austill of Waterford, CT who drives
the #07 sponsored by C & S Marine Service
was on the pole with Bill Cowan of Branchville,
NJ driving the Willco Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, & Heating

took the lead but with a tight pack the caution
flew a few times in the early laps sending Cowan,
Greg Butler of East Hampton, CT driving the East
Hampton Auto Parts #85, and Derek Chriss of Averill
Park, NY driving the Dan Engwer Wholesale Florist
#12 off the track. Cowan and Butler returned
but Chriss was out. After the caution the defending

the Wells Communication Service #3 jumped to
the lead with last race winner Gee Perry of Granby,
CT driving the FEB Construction #83 close behind.
While these 2 were pulling a little bit away
from the field, Perry tried everything he could,
going to the inside, the outside, but couldn't
get around Lindeman. The real battle of the night
was between Chris Correll of Old Lyme, CT driving
the Hooters #7 and Scott Gregory of Westbrook,
CT driving the Foxwoods Resort Casino #94 who
went side by side for almost the entire feature
swapping position several times until Gregory
finally cleared Correll and finished 3rd with
Correll finishing 4th. Mike Carrigg of Southbury,
CT driving the Carrigg Motorsports #41 had a
strong run finishing 5th. Rookie Austill was

Gee Perry of Granby, CT driving the #83 sponsored
by FEB Construction won the AllStar Race Truck
Series feature event at Monadnock Speedway in
Winchester, NH on Saturday, May 10th. Chris Austill
of Waterford, CT driving the #07 sponsored by
C & S Marine Service started on the pole.
Starting next to him was Bill Cowan of Branchville,
NJ driving the #02 sponsored by Willco Air Conditioning,
Refrigeration, & Heating. At the drop of
the green flag Austill was slow getting up to
speed allowing Scott Gregory of Westbrook, CT
driving the #92 sponsored by MGM Grand At Foxwoods
and Chris Correll of Quaker Hill, CT driving
the #7 sponsored by Hooters America to shoot
through to the front with Perry tagging along
in a very close 3rd making it a very exciting
start diving into turn 1. The aftermath of that
start was collecting defending Points Champion
Andy Lindeman of Poestenkill, NY driving the
#3 sponsored by Wells Communication Service,
Inc. spinning in turn 1 after he hit the back
end of Derek Chriss of Averill Park, NY driving
the #12 sponsored by Dan Engwer Wholesale Florist.
Lindeman would frop out a few laps later with
a punctured radiator. Meanwhile the battle was
on between Gregory, Correll, and Perry. By lap
3 Perry had claimed 2nd and the hunt was on to
run down Gregory. Correll, not to be denied,
stuck to Perry like glue as they chased down
Gregory. By lap 12, Perry proved his superiority
and passed Gregory to hold off all charges to
the end. Correll never let up pressure on Gregory
and scooted by him on the last lap claiming 2nd
at the line. Chriss had a good night holding
onto 4th. Rookie Greg Butler of East Hampton,
CT driving the #85 sponsored by East Hampton
Auto Parts is proving to be a up and coming racer
in ARTS finishing 5th after starting 10th in
his 2nd ARTS event and the !st time racing the
truck at Monadnock.
Two 10 lap heat races were run. The first heat
had Mike Carrigg of Southbury, CT driving the
#41 sponsored by Carrigg Motorsports on the pole.
Starting next to him was Cowan. Cowan took the
lead at the drop of the green. On lap 4 Lindeman
took over the lead after starting 5th. Lindeman
led the rest of the laps and took the checker
of Heat 1.
Heat 2 had Austill on the pole. Next to him was
Perry. At the drop of the green Perry took the
lead and led all laps winning the heat race.
