Ward Jr. Takes His Eagle to Victory Lane
Kevin Ward Jr. Picks up first "A" main win of 2013 in his
new Eagle from MEM at Autodrome Granby Friday May 31st.
Steve Poirier started on the outside of the font row and
looked to have the win sealed up when young Kevin Ward Jr.
started closing in at a rapid pace. Ward continued the
chase until he saw an opening on the bottom of turn 3 with a
handful of laps remaining and made his move.
The
Westward painting number 13 Eagle cruised from there to take
the win. Poirier held on for 2nd with Mike Parent coming
from 11th to 5th. Alain Boisvert in his first ever ESS
sprint "A" main came home 13th with Patrick Vigneault
finishing in 14th.
The
following night on the ESS tour at Autodrome Drummond
it was close but no cigar for the Eagle pilots. Mike
Parent, Kevin Ward Jr. and Steve Poirier chased Dylan
Swiernik across the line finishing 2nd through 4th. Cory
Sparks just missed the top 5 in 6th with Dale Gosselin, Lee
Ladouceur, Martin Roy, and Patrick Vigneault 9 through 14.
At Canandaigua Motorsports Park in the 305 Sprints, Daryl
Ruggles won his third in a row at CMP as the division points
leader took the lead from his daughter Alysha on lap seven
and was never headed for the remainder of the event. It was
awesome to race with her, Darryl said afterwards. I
thought she was a touch faster on the one restart. "I saw
the 99 move to second on the leader board and knew I had to
go" Alysha finished a solid 3rd with MEM customers and
Eagle chauffeurs Dan Kuhn getting an 8th and Nick Cooper
finishing a disappointing 11th due to a flat right rear
after making his way to 3rd in the main.
MEM / Eagle
Customer Continue Winning Ways in Month of May
5/18 Weekend: At Canandaigua Motorsports Park the Father Daughter
combination of Daryl and Alysha have been on fire each
picking up Heat wins and then going on to have Alysha pull
out to a big lead in the "A" main up until the 8th lap when
a restart resulted in her Dad moving to the outside to go by
for the win making it an all Ruggles top two! Nick Cooper
brought home his Eagle in 9th with Dan Kuhn placing 11th.
At
Selinsgrove Speedway on the ESS Tour Young Hot Shoe Kevin
Ward Jr. brought home his new Eagle with a 10th place "A"
main run after having to come from the back of a heat race
just to get into the show. Other MEM / Eagle customer in
the field unfortunately had some issues to deal with as
Steve Poirier, Mike Parent, & Shawn Donath made the "A" with
Partick Vigneault was a DNQ.
5/25 Weekend:
Ruggles doubles up with back to back wins at Canandaigua
Motorsports Park. Daryl Ruggles had a strong showing in his
heat to finish 2nd with young Alysha finding the turn 2 wall
and tipping her Eagle over. Repairs were made and she would
go on to get into the "A" main but would have an early
exit. Daryl was strong and had to start from the middle of
the pack due to handicapping. As the laps started to tick
off he was making fast work of moving to the front. With 5
in the books he was already in the top 5, on lap 14 he made
his move on David Ferguson and never looked back pulling out
to a very sizable lead to cruse to his second win in a row.
At Utica
Rome Speedway on the 26th it was Steve Poirier in victory
lane but he certainly had a little help as misfortune for
the Eagle of Shawn Donath hand Steve the win. Donath was on
a rail and had the field covered until 2 to go when a
drive-line failure kept the potent number 53 ECG / Abbey
Machine from victory lane. It was heartbreaking for the
team as Donath commented "This new Eagle from the MEM shops
is just Plain Stupid Fast, we need a finish". Poirier was
very pleased with his run on the hard slick U/R surface as
he bested the 1Z of Jessica Zemken and Stewart Friesen
driving the Doug Emery owned and prepared number 33 Eagle.
Cory Sparks rounded out the top 10. In Heat race action it
looked like it was going to be a great night for the Eagle
Chassis from the MEM shops as the finish was - Friesen,
Sparks, Parent, Poirier.
On the CRSA RaceSaver Tour the MEM / Eagle customers had
what you would call a good and bad weekend. The end results
didn't show how strong they all were but through the night
teams took notice of the Eagle Chassis competitors. The Art
Kiser Owned team with son Mike at the controls took the win
with Dad directley behind him. That however was not the
story as coming to the white flag it was a four way battle
for the top spot as Parker Evans in his new Eagle was making
his move and got caught up in a lap car spinning in front of
the leaders which took both Parker and Jordan Thomas out of
competition. Parker commented, the win was within our
sights and I just cant seem to catch a break with the luck
deal". Evans did pick up a heat race win along with Mike
Kiser and Jordan Thomas.
The Eagle Chassis customers continue to have strong showings in the
Northeast over last weekend. Whether in a 305 RaceSaver program or a
PST 360 program, the Eagle Chassis continues to run to the front.
This past weekend, Nick Cooper put his new Eagle Chassis at the
front of the field picking up his first "A" Main of the season at
Canandaigua Motorsports Park after dominating his heat race as well.
It was not an easy task in the "A" as young Dan Kuhn piloting his
Eagle had the field covered for the first 15 rounds until the RR
started to go away. Dan finished a fine 4th with local pilot Darryl
Ruggles rounding out the top five in his Eagle Chassis with his
daughter Alysha finishing another fine run in 8th.
The Patriot Sprint Tour was on the High Banks of Woodhull Raceway
and Eagle Pilot Shawn Donath made the most of his first ever trip to
the facility. Donath wheeled his mount to a heat win and followed it
up with a strong 2nd place finish on the rear bumper of the MEM
supported 51 of Bryan Howland. Donath actually led lap 19 in the
tightly contested "A" main. Also with strong showings in the heats
were Eagle Chauffeurs Cory Sparks picking up heat race 3 and Kevin
Ward Jr. a tight 2nd to Sparks. In the "A" main, Sparks was just
outside the top 5-finishing 6th as Ward Jr. experienced a mechanical
issue with a shock and retired late in the running after staying
consistently near the top five. Other MEM Eagle customers making
their debut on the Patriot Sprint Tour were Parker Evans in his new
2013 Eagle and Young Tyler Graves in his pretty 25G.

the night. Kevin Ward Jr. aboard his brand new Eagle came

long coming home 4th. Shawn Donath aboard the Pete
Lewendowski wrenched machine overcame some minor mechanical
issues in the heat to advance from the back of the B-main to
the last spot into the A-main. From there Donath put on a
driving clinic moving from 24th to 9th. Cory Sparks had a
decent night rounding out the top ten. Martin Roy in his
maiden voyage aboard his new Eagle finished a very
respectable 15th. Doug Emery, Patrick Vigneault, and Clint
Ide had first night issues and did not make the main event

28 cars were on had for a great night of racing action. As

the win in both his heat race and the A-main . It was no
cake walk with challenges coming from 4 drivers getting
along side thought out the event. Mike Parent had another
solid night with a 2nd in his heat and a 6th place A-main
run. Kevin Ward missed it a bit in the heat race and had to
come from the B-mail He made the best of the night charging
through he pack from 20th to finish 8th. Patrick Vigneault
and Martin Roy worked hard all night long to overcome some
mechanical woes and ended up with a 20th & 21st place finish

won his heat race but got turned over on lap one of the
A-main. Art Kiser held the lead in the A-main until motor
issues sidelined him. Doug Crews in his first ever event was
happy with his 18th place run in the A-main. At CMP the
Father Daughter team of Darryl and Alysha Ruggles once again
had strong showings. Darryl picked up his heat win and
finished in 3rd in the A-main. Alysha continues to acclimate
nicely to the full size sprint and came home with a nice top
five finish. Nick Cooper put together a 3rd in the heat and
a top 10 in the A-mail with Dan Kuhn getting his first
A-main in with a fine 9th place finish.
