ROBIE VICTORIOUS IN BROUSSEAU MEMORIAL 81 FRIDAY AT CLAREMONT
Claremont Motorsports Park July 18 event story
CLAREMONT, N.H. - Brian Robie soared to victory Friday at Claremont Motorsports Park, leading all the way to win the night’s Mike Brousseau Memorial 81-lap Modified main event at the historic third-mile speedplant.
With a huge crowd on hand and the pits bulging with competitors for the JS Automotive Five Dollar Friday seven-division event, Outlaw Chris Riendeau stormed to his first win of the summer. Bay State blaster Justin Beecher also took his first 2025 CMP victory lap, outrunning a stout field of Super Streets.
Mini Stock ace Kyle Templeton stayed undefeated on the season with another Friday night victory, Green Moutain Girl Andrea St. Amour won her first of the year in the Pure Stocks, and it was Peaches Lamotte atop the Six Shooters, while the Ridge Runner field will have to wait another week for a crack at the $550 bounty, as Carlos Grenier put on a clinic again in the Ridge Runner feature.
Ageless wheelsman Ernie Bodreau, who starred here long ago in the Claremont Speedway dirt track days, paced the Asetex Tire and Auto 604 Modified field aboard a vintage Goodwin Hannaford 71 open-wheeler to the green as the night’s main event began. Track legend Mike Brousseau’s widow of 21 years, Karen, waved the starter’s flag, and they were off.
Robie and Tyler Leary sat on row one as the 81-lapper went green, with Robie immediately seizing the lead and never looking back in the caution-free scorcher. Brousseau’s son Andrew, wanting in the worst way to win his father’s race, was quickly up to second but on this night, nobody could match up with the red-hot Robie.
Veteran oval-track ace Todd Owen got up for second on lap 55 but still finished far behind the on-fire Sunapee star. Jeremy Zullo made a furious late-race charge to come home an impressive third, with Brousseau and Leary rounding out the top five.
Tyler Lescord, hot of a strong heat race win earlier, and Marc Laroche Jr. led the Outlaw Late Models to the green, with Lescord quickly picking up where he’d left off an hour ago. Chris Riendeau, though, firing from row two, had other plans.
Riendeau, the winner of many races at CMP, took charge on lap four and simply drove away, putting some quiet weeks behind him with an impressive Friday night win. Cam Curtis got up for second on lap 24, and Lescord held strong for third.
Justin Beecher has dominated in Super Street special events this summer at Monadnock. Friday, he found the larger circumference of the Thrasher Road speedplant just as much to his liking.
Firing from row two in the RE Hinkley Super Street main event, he took the lead on the second go-round and never looked back as he sped off in his tune-up for next Sunday’s $5,000-to-win Summer Nationals at CMP. Brandon Gray, from deep in the field, got up for second on lap 19 and finished at Beecher’s bumper, and points leader Cody Schoolcraft was a rock-solid third.
Kyle Templeton continued his domination of the RaceDay Tv Mini Stocks, Taking the lead from Sean Lantas on lap eight, he again sped off to win with ease.
Slowed only by Zach Zilinski’s grinding meeting with the turn one wall on lap 23, Templeton led hard-charging Dick LaMotte into Country Fuels victory lane. Lantas finished his hard night’s work in third.,
Andrea St. Amour scored her first win of the summer Friday, topping the Lavalley Building Supply Pure Stock 25-lapper. Taking the lead on lap five, she outran the 18-car field to win in a nose-to-tail finish over Colton Hull.
Hull had the fastest car Friday and came from row five to catch St. Amour on lap 20 but could not find a path to the front. Tyler Wheatley put on a strong showing to come home third, just ahead of last week’s winner Kyle Kenny.
Bradey “Peaches” Lamotte led all the way en route to victory in Friday night’s Six Shooter main event. Steve Miller Jr. Got up for second on lap eight but could advance no farther. His dad, division titan Steve Sr., came home third.
Putting a bounty on JP’s Trucking king Carlos Grenier did no good Friday. Taking the lead from Jim Rhodes on lap three, he sped off into the night to remain undefeated on the season. Trevyr Young impressed in second, and Ron Burgess Jr. earned the third-place hardware.
There will be no racing this Friday, July 25, at CMP, as the speedway prepares for its Sunday – July 27 – very special Frazer’s Place presents $5,000-to-win Super Street Summer Nationals.
