JASON HERRINGTON WINS FIRST OF THE YEAR AT
ADIRONDACK
NEW BREMEN (NY) – On
Lowville New Car Dealers night at the
Adirondack International Speedway on Saturday, Jason
Herrington took advantage of his sixth starting spot
to tally his first ASA Challenger Late Model feature
win of the season. Point leader, John Papin chased
Herrington for a bulk of the event but had to settle
for second, as Herrington’s pace outmatched all the
rest. Other winners on the night were JR Mooney in
the

True Stocks, Tom Dubach in the D&D Powersports Sport
Compacts and Levi Kirkbride aboard the Westward
Painting Company Light Trucks.
At the start of the 50-lap ASA Challenger Late Model
main event, Andre Roggie fired from his pole
position to dance out to a comfortable lead.
However, on lap three it was Herrington first to
challenge and at the completion of lap four,
Herrington completed the first lead change driving
his Rifenburg Construction/Gavin Parker Landscaping
sponsored
Monte Carlo.
With Jason Herrington leading the top-five began to
scramble behind him. Papin was making the top work
to his advantage and at lap 15, Papin had Herrington
in his scope, ready to begin chase. Towards the
halfway point and through, Papin held second with
Herrington setting a blistering pace in first. Close
behind Bryant Trim and Tommy Cloce swapped position
looking to gain all possible ground on the front
two. The drama came into play in the late going as
with five laps to go Herrington’s machine began to
show smoke around the entire stretch of the circular
half-mile, leaving all fans anxious to see what will
unfold. However, all challenges including mechanical
went all to denial as Herrington motored on to his
first triumph of the year. Filling the top-five
positions were Papin, Cloce, Trim and invader Chris
Ross. With the victory, Herrington moved into fifth
on the Speedway’s All-Time Win List for the ASA
Challenger Late Models.
"I believe the motor let go,” questioned Herrington
in victory lane. Forced to shut it down at the
start/finish line, Herrington counted his blessings
in checker board square, “the nerves kicked in, but
it was no question we were going to try and go the
distance.” With the victory, the determined hotshoe
out of the Capital District maintained his
competitive run well into the top-five in points.
In the
GotGoodCheese.com
True Stock 20-lap feature Art Newman, Jr. led the
opening laps before JR Mooney was able to fly by and
grab the lead on lap seven. For the next 13 laps
Dave Arbes and Bobby Newman tried high and low to
contend for the win with Mooney however, Mooney
outlasted them all. Collecting his first feature win
at the Speedway since September of 2004, JR Mooney
went on for the popular victory; his first of the
season while Arbes, Newman, Mike Ramos and Tommy
Markham rounded out the top-five.
Tom Dubach flat out dominated the 15-lap D&D
Powersports Sport Compact main event. Hailing from
the pole position, Dubach led the distance
outlasting Scott Shafer, Al Brigham, Rudy Widrick
and Derek Burgy. The victory awarded him with his
second feature win of the season and his second
career win in a racecar.
In what could be called the most exciting race of
the night the Westward Painting Company Light Trucks
put on a whale of a show from start-to-finish in
their 20-lap main. Although having started in the
third position, Levi Kirkbride fought off a barrage
of challengers en route to his second feature win of
the season. Kirkbride battled off four total
challengers all race long in what tallied his second
career victory. John Sullivan finished second. Due
to post-race technicalities Dan Bellinger, Steve
Ellis and Zach Arthur were cycled into the top-five
as the initial third through fifth place finishers
were disqualified.
