Shane Pecore (0) would pick off Fire Swamp (88) as he charged from his fifth place starting spot but Gauvreu would have to big a lead on this day. It would be the north stop on the River Valley Builders North Tour for the Short Track Super Series their 18th overall for the series and their first-ever stop to the Mohawk International Raceway they would bring 33 of the best-modified drivers along with Sportsman Modified and the Pro Stock. The Modifieds would need a Last Chance Qualifier to decide who would get the last seven spots in the field of 27 for the 50-lap event. When the main event started the odds on favorite to win on the night would be Stewart Friesen after all he was the fastest in time trials and won his heat race easily. When the race was underway it would be Friesen and David Hebert on the front row and Friesen would zoom out to the lead there would be a couple of early cautions before lap 20 and on the second one Hebert would get around Friesen for the lead but the lead would only last a few laps and Friesen would take the lead back. But there would be a rumbling from the middle of the pack as Matt Sheppard who started 13th would keep picking them off as he rolled to the front of the pack and with ten laps to go he would have Friesen in his sights and the classic rivalry would be at it again on the broader tonight. With three laps to go Sheppard came off of turn two and almost runner his night on the backstretch wall and lost a second Friesen but he hugged the bottom for the next two laps and would get Friesen at the line by about a car length for the win. Chris Raabe would round out the top three as he came from sixth place on the final lap. Then we would have 35 laps for the Pro Stockers with $1,000 going to the winner. The race would start with Ian Bresset and Zack Daniels on the front row and the early leader would be Bressett there would be a battle up front through the early stages of the race between Bressett, Burton Ward, and Denis Gauvreau but in the end, the winner would be Dakota Sharp that came up from the ninth spot to get his second win of the season over Bressett and Gauvreau. Then to finish off the night would be the Sportsman Modified as they would run the Lonewolf Sportsman Special and there would be no doubt on the winner this night as Cedric Gauvreau would say see you later to the field and rounding out the top three would be Shane Pecore and Casey Swamp.

The J+S Steel Sportsman Modified main would have good racing all night long including three wide at times as seen with Dylan Rabtoty (22), Tanner Forbes (29), and Jonathan Toohill (2JT) taking it three wide in the corner off the restart. It would be the biggest show of the 2024 racing season from the Airborne Park Speedway as the Short Track Super Series would make their first-ever appearance on the track and there would also be the Sportsman Modified, Renegades, and Mini Stocks on the night. The Short Track Super Series would bring 31 of the best big block modifieds and they would only be starting 24 for the 70 lap 7,070 to win the race. As for the heat races on the night the winners would be Anthony Perrego, Tim Fuller, and Alex Payne, and the winner of the last chance qualifier would be Chris Raabe Then it would be onto the 70-lap feature and the boys would come to race as they would do the first 62 laps caution free and that would be the only caution on the night but that would not mean the racing wasn't good as Anthony Perrego and Mike Maresca would battle up front most of the night and swap the lead back and forth and in the end Perrego would get the win and the 7k check as Michael Maresca and Alex Payne would round out the top three on the night. Then as for the other divisions on the night, the Renegades would have their 25-lap main and it would see a battle up front for the second half of the race between Tylor Terry and Zack Daniels in the end Tylor Tery would get the win for his second win on the season already. Then we would have the J+S Steel Sportsman Modified for their 30-lap event and $1,500 to win on the night and would see an early race battle between Robert Gauthier and Matthew LaValley. Still, in the end, it would be the classic duo up front going after the win with Nick Heywood and Ttavis Bruno going after the win and in the end, Nick Heywood gets the win over Travis Bruno with Fire Swamp rounding out the top three. Then to finish off the night it would be the mini stocks in their split mains for 20 laps in the first feature it would come down to a battle between the family of Bressete as Speedy and Steven going after the win with Speedy getting the win on the night over Steven and James Whitney would round out the top three. Then it would be the Mini Stocks' second main to finish off the evening and this one would be the Jake Fountain show as he would run away and get the win over Kris Clark and Ryan Senecal to get the win on the night. The track will come back to life next Thursday night June 6th as it will be Topless Modified night. Gallery
