The WIN! Eddie Dominates in Win at Stafford |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eddie Mac powered to the lead of the 75 lap Pro All Star Series
race in the Spring Sizzler at Stafford Motor Speedway on Saturday and
easily dominated the field on his way to his first win of the season.
After posting fifth and third place finishes in the previous two PASS
events, Eddie and the team felt confident this was going to be their
day. "Winning this race means everything to our team," said Eddie after the race. "We have struggled the last couple of seasons, so it really feels good to know we have a solid chance to win now every time out. We ran third a Thompson and fifth at Loudon after fighting for the lead for most of the race until the tires blistered. So we knew we were headed in the right direction." Eddie's first win at Stafford was in 2007 in the K&N Series and the return of PASS to the half-mile Connecticut oval after a decade away was an opportunity to notch another victory according to the veteran racer saying, "Stafford is a great track and I love racing here so to have this chance to get a win is awesome. Our team owner, Dave Lemieux, purchased a new Fury car in the off-season and we have been learning about it and it has paid off. Fury makes an incredible car and Rollie (LaChance-crew chief) and the team have been working hard and getting this win is something special." Eddie dominated the action starting with posting the fastest times in both practices, then easily winning the second of two heats to give him the outside pole in the nineteen car field for the feature. As soon as the green flag waved, Eddie took the lead coming out of turn two and never relinquished it. The Hancock Electric/Grimm Construction/Exit Realty Chevy opened up a comfortable four car length lead early on then stretching it to twelve car lengths. Even the three caution flags could not slow the dominance Eddie had established holding off the challenges of Joey Pole, Gabe Brown, and Ryan Kuhn. The final caution flag flew with three laps remaining with Eddie saying, "I knew I just had to get a solid start as I had before and not let Joey get close and the car responded as it had all race and I was able to pull away. It is so much fun to drive a car that handles so well in the turns and allows me to stand on it coming off the corner. We are still learning what this car can do so we look forward to our next race. We are in the process of finalizing our schedule and right now we are leading the points so we are excited about the season." "I want to take this opportunity to thank our longtime sponsor Kenny Thompson from Hancock Electric for everything he has done for us over the last thirteen years. Kenny is a remarkable man and helped us out when we needed it most years ago and has been with us ever since. Not too many race teams can say they had a sponsor as great as Hancock Electric," said Eddie. "Kenny will always be a member of our race team and a valued friend and we all wish him and Carol a happy retirement." "I am so happy for our crew that has worked so hard the last couple of seasons and the win today is hopefully the first of many for them," said Eddie. "They deserve this win for the work put in at the shop and the selfless effort at the track. Thanks again to Dave Lemieux from Lemieux Builders, Brian Neal from Neal Excavating, Derek Beatrice from EXIT Realty, Freddie Peterson from Peterson Auto Body, Paul Rinaldi, Arvo Auto, and HMS and Schroth Racing. We cannot do this without the support of all these people." |
