Claremont,N.H - It was Gobin Disposal night at Twin State Speedway and the NASCAR facility had a couple of titles decided but a majority of racing teams are still battling for position in the LaValley Racing Series.

The Dominos Pizza Lightning Stock feature saw Bryan Martin #2 and Aaron Whipple #21 (In a borrowed car from Jackie Lanou) on the front row for the initial start. In turn 2 of the first lap Martin received a little help from a bunched up pack and went around. Whipple led the field back to the green but on lap 7 Josh King #29 ducked low in turn 2 to snag the lead. Points leader Jim Rhodes #38 moved up to challenge King for the lead but on lap 12 the two touched forcing Rhodes high with last weeks winner George Fisher Jr. #8 right on his tail to capitalize and roll into 2nd. Over the final 8 laps Fisher would get close to King but couldn’t make the pass and King was on his way to his 3rd victory of the season. Fisher and Rhodes finished a tight 2nd and 3rd.

Warner's car then shut down on the front chute to bring out the first caution. Another caution on lap 4 sent Randy Holmes #31 to the pits for leaking fluid and on the restart point leader Walt Harris used the high groove to take command. The final yellow would fly on lap 10 as fluid from Dave Cowdry's #38 sent him pitside with Elwin Chambers #71 and Bill Russell #1 sliding off turn 2. Harris jumped to the lead once again on the restart and opened up a small lead while John Ross Jr. #88 used the inside lane to work his way by Gray for 2nd. Harris went on to win his 9th race of the season with Ross and Gray in tow.
