2024 South Coast Power Equipment Pure Stock Season Preview

5/15/2024

Many of the Fast Friday eyes will be on the Helger’s South Coast Power Equipment Pure Stock division once again in 2024. Known as one of Seekonk Speedway’s most thrilling divisions to watch, the Pure Stocks dice it out weekly with a great mix of veteran and rising racing talent.

Some of the veterans of the Pure Stocks include defending champion Jared Cordeira, Ethan Souza, Danny Massa and Mike Henriques. These four drivers have proven to be winners in their careers and enter the season as some of the title favorites.

Cordeira had a picture perfect run to the championship last year, making it into the playoffs and rolling to the top of the field when it mattered most. Souza and Massa had arguably the best seasons out of anyone last year and had a shot at the title. Henriques has been around a long time and is a proven winner himself, looking for his first title in 2024.

Although it’s unclear whether he will run full-time or not, Greg Perry is another top name to keep your eyes on.

Additional names in the Pure Stocks include some rising drivers like Bobby Bettencourt III, Don Courtemanche and Rookie of the Year contender Brent Robidoux.

Bettencourt put together quite the first season in the No. 21 last year, and the familiar colors are back looking to park in Victory Lane in 2024. Courtemanche has been around for a few years, and this season could be his breakout effort. Robidoux, moving up from the Bandolero Outlaw division, looks to follow in the footsteps of his father, John, as a Seekonk Pure Stock winner.

Look for Michael Marcou, Emily Brightman, Matt Talbolt, Jim Reilly, Tim Ouellette and Jared Barishian to also be contenders in 2024, among others.

The 2024 season opens for the Helger’s South Coast Power Equipment Pure Stock division on Friday, May 24 at 7 p.m. The season includes events from May through September. The championship night for the Pure Stocks will be Friday, September 27.
