Bernard Wins ESP 150 at Granby... Kind of; More Champions crowned

Steve Bernard held off David Hebert to pick up the biggest win of his career, as he picked up the $10,000 358 modified Dirt Series ESP 150 at Autodrome Granby; then, he crossed the scales. Bernard came up 6 pounds light, and under DIRT's rules, he still is credited with the win. However, due to new rules, Bernard had to hand in all $10,000 he won just minutes earlier. So, even though Bernard is credited with the win, he actually has won nothing for the win. Should be interesting to see what fans think of this.

Accord Speedway, Albany-Saratoga Speedway, and Penn Can Speedway crowned their champions last night. Jerry Higbie just had to start the feature at Accord Speedway to claim his 2nd consecutive Accord title. Penn Can Speedway saw Mike Gular, Kevin Hartnett, and Brett Tonkin in a points battle, but in the end Mike Gular picked up a second place finish to secure his 2nd career Penn Can Speedway championship. Albany-Saratoga Speedway saw Mike Bruno, Marc Johnson, and Kenny Tremont in a fight for the title, after an accident that involved Johnson and Bruno and a confrontation, it was Kenny Tremont who snuck ahead to win the championship.
