EVERETT’S TRIPLE CROWN SERIES WEEKEND UP NEXT AT SEEKONK SPEEDWAY

8/6/2024

SEEKONK, Mass. — This weekend at Seekonk Speedway will be a major one for race fans to follow - a can’t miss two days at the third-mile! The Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series will conclude in all nine Seekonk divisions, meaning there is plenty of excitement to watch at the Action Track of the East. Both Fast Friday and NASCAR Saturday divisions will race in the prestigious Triple Crown finale events - with extra laps in all divisions except the Bandolero’s.

Racing on Fast Friday begins at 7 p.m., while NASCAR Saturday goes green at 6 p.m.

The winner of the Triple Crown championship for 2024 in each division will be the highest finishing driver of the four eligible in that specific feature event. On top of Triple Crown action, drivers not in the Triple Crown finale will be racing for the checkered flag and the race trophy.

In the Pro Stocks, defending Triple Crown champion Bobby Pelland III advanced into the finals, winning the June 15 Triple Crown race. The other three spots were filled by points accumulated in the two Triple Crown races so far. Vinnie Arrenegado, a Rookie of the Year contender, will join Pelland. They will both have to contend with two-time and defending division champion Mark Jenison and Dylan Estrella. Three of these drivers have Pro Stock feature wins to their credit: Pelland, Jenison and Estrella. Will Arrenegado use the Triple Crown 60-lap finale to score his first win? Can Pelland make it two straight Triple Crown titles? Will one of the other two rocket to victory? Will it take winning the race to win the Triple Crown? Will someone else not in the Tripe Crown steal the race win itself, like David Darling, Dick Benoit or Mike Brightman? The Pro Stock feature is set for 60 laps this week.

PRO STOCK FINALISTS: Bobby Pelland III, Vinnie Arrenegado, Dylan Estrella, Mark Jenison

The Late Model Triple Crown finale is made up of two Triple Crown winners and two points contenders. Jacob Burns won the first Triple Crown race on June 1, while Pelland won the second on June 15. Pelland will contend for both the Pro Stock and Late Model Triple Crown title in the same night. These two will be joined by Luke Lebrun and Connor Souza to contend for the crown. David Darling accumulated enough points to advance to the Finals, but it is not eligible. Seekonk Speedway requires competitors to compete in three regular season races plus the Triple Crown events to be eligible to make the Finals. The Late Model battle between Burns, Pelland, Lebrun and Souza will go right down to the final laps of the 45-lap event. Names like Jenison, Richie Murray and most recent winner Charlie Rose will also look to score the feature win, along with others.

LATE MODEL FINALISTS: Jacob Burns, Bobby Pelland III, Luke Lebrun, Connor Souza

Helger’s Sportsman drivers in the Everett’s Triple Crown Finals include Adam Pettey, Colby Lambert, Joe Kohler and Jeremy Lambert. Pettey won both of the first two Triple Crown events, while C. Lambert, Kohler and J. Lambert all entered the Finals with points. The Lambert family will be well-represented, with a 50% chance of capturing the crown. They are joined by Pettey, who has been quite dominant at times so far this season, showcasing that in the first two Triple Crown events. Kohler, driving for McKenzie Stevenson, has been consistently charging through the field when he has been in competition. The 35-lap Triple Crown Finale for the Sportsman is sure to be exciting.

Rick Martin, Tim Bolger Jr., Mike Duarte and Amy Arsenault make up the Everett’s Triple Crown Final Four in the Chaz’s Auto Body Sport Trucks. Martin and Bolger advanced with feature wins in Triple Crown action, while Duarte and Arsenault advanced by points. Duarte has been consistent all year, leading the overall division point standings to this point, but hasn’t yet won. Martin, the two-time and defending division champion, will look to add the Everett’s Triple Crown to his historic track resume. Bolger has been consistent as well, with two wins, while Arsenault will look to use the 35-lap finale to pounce. Who will capture the Everett’s Triple Crown in the Trucks?

On Fast Friday, the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars field is set with two winners and two points contenders. Josh Parsons and Chase Silvia won the two Triple Crown events so far to advance to the Finals, while Jacob Burns and Richie Helger Jr. also earned spots. This pins two drivers from Nick Lascuola Racing (Parsons, Burns) up against two from Richie Helger Racing (Helger, Silvia). All four of these drivers have been quick all season and all use the Triple Crown as one of their goals entering the season. Who captures the crown in the 30-lap feature? Can someone like Stephen Bowden or Ryan Vanasse Jr. earn their first career win in Friday’s extra-distance race?

All four contenders have been quick this season. Of a possible 100 points between the first two races, all four drivers earned at least 90. This one should go right down to the final laps. Will it take a victory in the race to score the Triple Crown title?

Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Outlaw Triple Crown finalists include Bryson Robidoux, Parker Davis, Ryder Aguiar and Brody Wakefield.
