After a race where bumpers were torn off, flames flew out of hoods, and drivers were nearly ejected from their race seats, a welcome trip to the northeast was well needed. It was a mild race, though it still contained plenty of excitement.

Craig Lee took the pole position but was immediately passed by Matthew Dominique, who needed a good finish after several clunkers as of late. Craig was the fastest car all week, and looked to be saving his car early.

Alex Crapser took the lead on lap 48 from Scott Jackson. Scott had acquired the lead after missing his pit stall, the beginning of a series of errors that placed him 37th by the end and dropping him to 14th in points. Alex would lead 40 laps in total.

Craig Lee bided his time and re-took the lead on lap 69. With five straight top-15 finishes on the season, it looked as if the streak would continue with a big victory at the Magic Mile.

Disaster struck on lap 98 for the #101. Donald Stewart and Scott Drake made contact out turn 4 while Craig was flying through the field with fresh tires. Drake smacked the "Trojan Man", sending him into the inside wall and to the rear of the field. Meanwhile, points leader Tim McDonnell would get caught in an incident with Dalton Lucas at the same part of the track. Both drivers would continue on without major damage.

By miracle of all miracles, it only took Craig 42 laps to fly by the field and re-take the lead away from Rick Jackson. It was his race to lose, as the others stared in wonderment and confusion.

After plenty of side-by-side battles, it took Tony Pizzaro a full 17 laps to fully overtake Craig for the lead on lap 174. With nobody else in sight, the two could swap it out all day and still pull away from the field with ease.

Several big names like Alex Crapser, Donald Stewart and John Tharp were about to go a lap down before a spin on the frontstretch saved them all. Tony lost the lead to Craig due to lapped traffic, got a little aggressive and spun Bill Werkheiser into the inside wall. He came back up the track into William Perry, who caught air and black smoke at the same time. Both cars finished outside the top-30. Later, Zach Michael and Johnny Reed Foley made contact battling for 17th. Both cars slammed the outside wall, collecting Donald Stewart and Tyler Scott, who got the worst of it.

Between lap 253 and 264, Tony Pizzaro and Ken Pettit were battling hard for the top-spot. Ryan Heuser and Craig Lee were lurking behind, but the two Race 2 Wincars seemed to have the balance right late in the going. For the final 20 laps, Ken would make several attempts to complete the pass on the #12. He would get side-by-side with him multiple times in turns 1-2, but seemingly lose grip on the bottom lane in 3-4 each time. Meanwhile, Craig found his way past Ryan to lurk behind in third.

With three laps to go and a three-way battle for the lead, Aaron Cummings and Jonathan Skrabacz made contact entering turn 3. Steven Spears got involved in the mess as well, as it became a race for the victory up front with the yellow flag in hand.

Craig managed to find his way underneath Ken Pettit, destroying the #8's momentum on the final green flag lap. Ken would hold him off, but paid the price by missing the opportunity to grab his first victory since Atlanta, as Tony Pizzaro and the Fenway machine crossed the start-finish line in first. Congrats to Tony, crew chief Neil Justi ... Read more »
