Woodards Do Battle At White Mountain

NORTH WOODSTOCK, N.H. — The J.P. Sicard Flying Tiger Triple Crown Series went out with a bang Saturday at White Mountain Motorsports Park as 20 Wells River Chevrolet Flying Tigers converged onto the high banks to close out the first championship of the season.

Although Jason Woodard battled hard, it wasn’t enough to take another White Mountain crown as a couple young guns took down career first wins on J.P. Sicard Saturday.

Jody Sicard and Jason Woodard started on the front row, with Woodard taking the lead at the green flag for the 75-lap event.

Woodard began to hit the tail end of the field by lap 20 on his blistering pace as his son Tanner Woodard and Fisher stalked him from behind. All the while, J.P. Sicard Triple Crown points leader Shane Sicard was hung out to dry in 8th-place and out of the championship picture until lap 37. As the field came around the White Mountain quarter-mile, Matt Potter spun around in turn two bringing out the first and only caution of the event.

On the restart, it was Woodard vs. Woodard with the elder once again choosing the outside and escaping the field after the green. 

As the field again spaced out, both Tanner Woodard and Kaiden Fisher were all over Jason Woodard. While Tanner powered down on the inside, Fisher was glued to Jason’s rear bumper as the threesome shaved in and out of lap traffic.

Under the checkered flag, it was Jason Woodard taking the second win in a row followed by Kaiden Fisher and Tanner Woodard.

Shane Sicard slowly made his way through the top ten and took fifth place, giving him the two-point advantage over Jason Woodard to take the J.P. Sicard Flying Tiger Triple Crown Championship.

Kasey Beattie outran Jesse Switser to win the late model feature.

Tim Paquette (mini late models), Tyler Thompson (strictly stock minis) and Austin Sicard (kids) also won features.
