Terry Martineau (0) and Kyle Doner (85) go back to back during one of the heats for the Stock Compact divisions and it folds the trunk of the Doner car right up. It would be the annual return of the Demolition Derby at the Clinton County Fair and there would be around 100 entries in the pits to part in everything from the lawn tractors to the Economy Full Size V-8 cars. They would run all the heat races in the afternoon session to set up the features and the last-chance qualifiers for the evening show. The first feature out of the box would be the van feature and when the smashing and crashing would slow down there would be two left running it would be a matchup between Alex Martin and Zach Rondeau and in the end the winner of the $1,000 would be Alex Martin. Then we would have the full-size trucks taking on the two modified v8 cars that showed up and in the end, there would be 2 going after the cold hard cash of $1,000 and it would be Eli Beshaw over Benjamin Kennedy for the win. Then we would have our new class the Economy Full Size cars with three entries and in the end they would keep it between the family as the Beshaw's would go after the first place trophy and prize money and the winner would be Tommy Beshaw. Then it would be onto the semi-stock compact car feature and there would be 9 cars entered in the end it would come down to a couple of cagey veterans with Allen Fountain and Terry Reno and in the end, Fountain would get his first feature win the $2,000 that goes with it. Then to finish the night it would be the Stock Compact feature which had 23 cars that qualified for it but only 14 were able to make the call they would put on a great show for about ten minutes for the crowd and in the end Zack Provost would get the win over Brandon Lamere and take home the hardware and $2,000. Most of these derby drivers will be back in action in a couple of weeks for the Franklin County Fair Demolition Derby on August 3rd. Gallery

After I a year off due to the covid 19 pandemic it was the return of the Clinton County Fair demolition derby in front of a packed crowd there would be just over a hundred in attendance ranging from full size, compact, trucks, and vans. It would be the annual all-day affair as the show would get underway at noon and would last till around ten o'clock. It would be a steady rain throughout the day but that would not keep the fans or competitors away from having a smashing good time. The biggest class of cars on the day would be the popular compact cars as they would need seven heats and consi and the championship to decide the winner. It would definitely be a hard-hitting day as competitors were looking to take out their frustration after not derby for two years and the hitting would show it on the track. When the dust and smashing would settle on the day the winners would be Tyler Atwell in the Full-Size cars, Brittany Woodside in the Truck division, Landon Sears in the Vans, and in the compact cars it would be Devin Fournier in the modified and Jerry Groucher in the stock class.
