Take Icebreaker
Victories,

Thompson, CT --
A partly cloudy day
was had at Thompson
Speedway's Saturday
opener to the 50th
Icebreaker weekend
with plenty of rain
to darken the
spirits on an
exciting opening day
schedule of events.
The crew at Thompson
Speedway kept the
track dry enough to
get in full feature
events for both the
Thompson Street
Stocks and the PASS
Super Late Models
but the Monaco
Modified Tri-Track
Series was a
casualty to the rain
and will be
postponed to the
Friday of World
Series weekend on
October 11.
Following qualifying
for all divisions
originally scheduled
for Saturday's
festivities, the
Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) Super Late
Models took
the field. After
taking the victory
lap in their
respective heat race
qualifiers, New
Hampshire drivers
D.J. Shaw and Wayne
Helliwell, Jr. led
the field to green.
An early caution for
a back-field
squabble in turn
three saw
Massachusetts'
hot-shoe Eddie
MacDonald chase down
early leader Shaw
and, after battling
side-by-side, took
over the lead before
a lap 39 rain delay.
Two restarts led
to two spirited
battles between Shaw
and MacDonald with
'The Outlaw' taking
charge but facing a
mirror full of Derek
Griffith. With
fifteen laps
remaining Griffith
began to show his
hand, growing ever
closer to MacDonald
while maintaining a
safe distance,
poised to pounce as
laps wound down.
While a second and
third rain delay
dashed Griffith's
original chase, the
Hudson, New
Hampshire native
powered by MacDonald
on the final restart
to claim the
Icebreaker gold over
Shaw and MacDonald.
The
Street Stocks
started the 2024
Thompson Speedway
track championship
chase on Saturday
with a three-wide
start in their
25-lap feature
event. Multi-time
Waterford Speedbowl
champion Al Stone
III took advantage
of a slip-up for
'Leadfoot' Larry
Barnett to take the
lead and growing it
ahead of 2023 title
contenders Corey
Fanning and Ryan
Waterman. A short
rain delay re-racked
the field with Stone
and Waterman
battling as Aaron
Plemons took over
third from Fanning.
While Stone
quickly reasserted
his dominance, a
spinning Austin
Flannagin in turn
two brought out the
final caution to set
up an eight-lap
fight to the finish.
Waterman gave it all
he had left in the
tank on the final
restart but Al Stone
III took charge on
the outside lane and
rim rode the
Thompson highbanks
to the Icebreaker
victory! Aaron
Plemons followed
Stone and Ryan
Waterman to round
out the top three.
The inaugural
event for the
Monaco Modified
Tri-Track Series
fought the on-again,
off-again rain
clouds all day long,
much to everyone's
dismay. Matt
Hirschman, Ronnie
Williams and Anthony
Nocella were able to
claim heat race
qualifying wins but
constant rain and
inability to dry the
track after sunset
pushed both track
and Monaco Modified
series officials to
postpone the
Constantine Paving &
Sealing 75 to
headline Friday,
October 11; The
opening day of
Sunoco World Series
weekend.
Kevin Moore and Dave
Trudeau split the
Mini Stock heat wins
on Saturday while
Jon Puleo won the
first race, a
qualifying heat, for
the new Sunoco 604
Modified class. The
Mini Stock feature
will be run
tomorrow, Sunday,
April 7 and the
Sunoco 604 Modifieds
will run both their
Saturday make-up and
the originally
scheduled Sunday
event. The Evolve
Bank & Mortgage Pro
Truck Series will
not run a make-up
event on Sunday,
plans for their
make-up will be
announced in the
near future.
