Scarborough Is Airborne Hero

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — Joey Scarborough made his winning pass on lap 13 of the J & S Steel Sportsman feature event on Saturday at Airborne Speedway.

Craig Wholey led the field for the field three laps before Jason Bruno took the lead on the outside of turns one and two. Scarborough slipped underneath Bruno on lap-13 and cruised to victory in a green-to-checkers 25-lap race.

Jason Bruno settled for second, while his brother, Travis Bruno made a last lap pass of Jamy Begor to complete the podium. Begor and Wholey finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

Shawn Duquette continues to be the top driver in the Hartson Total Opening Renegade division, as he picked up his third win of the season. 

Duquette and Zack Daniels raced side-by-side for several laps before Duquette completed his winning pass on the inside of the second turn. Just a couple laps later, Daniels spun with a right-rear flat. 

Andrew Fitzgerald was impressive in his first appearance of the season, finishing in second place. Keith Pelkey, Nathaniel Guay and Jason Bogett completed the top five.

The Taylor Rental Street Stock feature event was a battle of survival. Several yellow flags and a couple of red flags slowed the 15-lap event. On the final lap, Josh Laporte Sr. led, but Luke Marcheski drove deep into the first turn to take the lead away. The two raced down the backstretch with Marcheski ahead by a couple car lengths. Laporte Sr. rode the rim in turns three and four and it launched him to his first win of the season.

Marcheski finished a very close second, while John-Michael Bresette passed Speedy Bresette on the final lap to complete the podium. Speedy finished fourth and Mat Parker finished fifth.

Dale Gonyo Sr. completed a last-lap pass of Rick Frenyea to win his first Northern Blacktopping Limited Sportsman feature of the season. Frenyea held on for second and Parker Dermody finished third.
