Donovan Lussier (61) and Chad Edwards (10%) battle for the lead, swapping the lead back and forth as they go after the win and the five-thousand-dollar first-place check. It would be the fifth edition of the Northeast Crate Nationals from the Devils Bowl Speedway with 100 laps and 5,000 on the line for the Sportsman Modified after two straight days of rain pushed the show to Memorial Day Monday. The other divisions that would be in action that evening would be the 9th State Cannabias Renegades, O'Reilly Auto Parts Limited Sportsman Modified, Renegades, Friends Construction 500cc Mini Sprints, Fisher Auto Parts Mini Stocks, and the Hoosier Tire Novice Sportsman Modified. After all the qualifying was done the first feature out of the box would be the Crown Vics and Bradford Cram would get the lead off the start of the race but there would be a hard charger coming from the back and would see Eric Friend come and take the lead and get his second straight feature win. Then we would have the O'Reilly Auto Parts Limited Sportsman Modified for their 30-lap feature, and it would see Kamden Duffy get the lead off the start of the race. He would hold it for most of the event until there was a late race restart, and it would see a duel between him and Gary English that would see Gary English cross the line first for the win. Then next up would be the Renegades for their 20-lap feature, where they would see Tyler Irwin get the lead off the start, but Josh Bussino would keep fighting and get around Irwin for the win and the $500 first-place check. Then we would have the Friend Construction 500cc Mini Sprints for their 15-lap race, and there would be a battle up front for most of the race between Gage Provencher and Quinn Quenneville, until the closing laps when they would touch wheels in turn four, sending Quenneville flipping into the catchfence, ruining his night. Then there would be a two-lap shootout to finish the race to see Jenna Zak get around a wounded Gage Provencher for the win. Then it would be time for the main event of the evening, the 100 Sportsman Modified Northeast Nationals. It would see an early battle for the lead between Brent Warren and Chad Edwards that would go to Edwards. Still, the real battle would be the one between Edwards and Lussier that would see them trade the lead back and forth as they would duel for that first-place check, and in the end, the check would go back North of the Border as Donovan Lussier would get to the checkered flag first and capture the win. Then there would be a pair of Mini Stock features. The first one would see Ron Alger get the early lead, but the Airborne Speedway invader, Jake Fountain, would come from an 8th-place start to go after the lead and win on the night. The feature would be a race marred in cautions and wrecks that would end two laps short of its scheduled distance and see Jeremy Brownell get his first win of the season. Then, to finish the night, it would be the Novice Sportsman Modified for their 20-lap event. It would see Raelin Dunham get the lead off the start of the race and hold it for a while, but Rob Steves would keep coming and get around her for the lead and get his first career Novice Sportsman Modified win to conclude the day of racing. The Devils Bowl Speedway will return on May 30th for the Mini Sprints Special. Gallery
