Fearn Wins Limited Late Model Feature At Stafford

STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn. — Alexandra Fearn won the Limited Late Model feature at Stafford Speedway on Friday, before rain prematurely brought the rest of the evening to a halt. 

In the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature event, Gary Patnode took the lead from polesitter Damian Palardy at the drop of the green, leading the first lap before the caution flag flew for Dana Wray. 

Patnode took the lead again back under green with Alexandra Fearn pulling alongside Palardy for second.  The field completed one lap before the caution came right back out with two laps complete for a spin in turn four by Trinity Provost.

Patnode again took the lead with Fearn and Palardy going side-by-side again for second.  Matt Clement worked his way up to fourth with Devon Jencik in fifth place. 

Fearn took second on lap four, and Matt Clement followed her through to move into third and drop Palardy back to fourth. 

With five laps to go, Fearn had closed to within a car length of Patnode for the lead.

Fearn caught Patnode with two laps to go, and as they took the white flag, Fearn made her move to the inside of Patnode to take over the lead. 

Fearn led Patnode back to the checkered flag to pick up her first win of the 2022 season after a rough start to her first three races.
