​DARLING WINS PRO STOCK FEATURE IN CLOSE BATTLE FOR FINAL PLAYOFF SPOT

SEEKONK, Mass. — Dave Darling dominated again in the Pro Stock division on Saturday night. Darling quickly jumped out to the lead from the outside pole position, passing Kenny Spencer, and he never looked back in the 45-lap feature race in round two of the Sunoco Drive For The Cup.


Although Darling was eliminated from title contention, he still was able to hold the checkered flag again. Mark Jenison and Tom Scully Jr. worked their way up through the field to score second and third place finishes, both advancing into the playoff Final Four.


Rick Martin was fourth, also advancing, while Dick Benoit returned to the Pro Stock top-five with a strong run. Kenny Spencer finished sixth, just ahead of a close battle for the final playoff spot. Slight contact in turn three sent Mike Brightman up the track and Bobby Pelland III did everything he could to try and slide his way around. However, Brightman would finish in seventh, the final locked in playoff car.


Pelland was eighth at the finish of the race, followed by Darryl Stampfl and Colbey Fournier. Fournier and Pelland were the two eliminated from the playoffs.


The final race of the Pro Stock season will take place on Saturday, September 24 at 6 p.m. For more information on Seekonk Speedway, visit SeekonkSpeedway.com and follow the track on social media for the latest updates.DARLING WINS PRO STOCK FEATURE IN CLOSE BATTLE FOR FINAL PLAYOFF SPOT
