N. WOODSTOCK, N.H. – Saturday night brought another stellar racing program to White Mountain Motorsports Park with the first champion of 2025 crowned on the highbanks alongside the annual Pro-4 Modified visit for a 30-lap sprint.

The Kids Division kicked off the night’s program with young Cameron Beattie launching from the pole position. Behind him, Colton Williams and Joshua Aldrich battled side-by-side throughout the 15-lap feature event as Beattie was within car lengths of the final car under the checkered flags. In the final moments, a three-wide dash to the start-finish line saw Owen Dupuis just barely edge Williams for second in a photo finish.
The Strictly Minis saw a pair of Jason’s in J.J. Goodbout and Jason Ball lead the field to green for their 25-lap trophy dash. Goodbout set the early pace but a bang mid-race slide from low to high insured Donnie Baumgardner the fast lane and the win with McKenna Merchant also sneaking by Goodbout to finish second.
The return of the New England Pro-4 Modifieds saw fifteen of these scaled down, four-cylinder open wheelers drive up from Southern New England to compete on the White Mountain quarter-mile. Randy Clark in the white and black No. 93 was quick to lead the fray but a couple quick-spin cautions and the exploding power-plant under the Brandon LaVoie machine quickly brought Rob Richardi Jr to the front. Richardi kept his Navy Blue No. 0 car at the front to the very end to claim his 60th Pro-4 Modified victory over Clark and Doug Meservey Sr.

Just two quick-spin cautions slowed the pace of the Late Model 50-lap showdown on Saturday night. Last week’s winner Keegan Lamson was back in the limelight out front even while under heavy pressure from Reilly Lanphear, Mike Jurkowski and Beetle Bailey. As the cream rose to the top, Lamson had a rearview mirror full of Kyle Goodbout and Jamie Swallow Jr. as the three battled hard around the North Woodstock bullring. In the end, Lamson ended up sandwiched between the two across the stripe with Goodbout claiming the win and Swallow rounding out the podium.
Dustin Jackson won the first 15-lap segment for the Ammonoosuc Late Models but it was segment two that got things cooking. Jackson followed Tim Paquette and Nick Miller across the line with all three earning four points and the tie broken by finishing order in the final segment with Paquette earning his first win of the year.
The Flying Tigers rounded out the evening with the final leg of the Triple Crown. Luke Peters and Brendan Moodie shared the front row on the initial green flag start but it was all Sam Caron and Moodie from then on out. The two raced side-by-side for the first half of the 75-lap affair as Triple Crown point leader Jason Woodard made his way from a seventh-place start. Woodard began battling with Caron with twenty-five laps remaining and had the lead with fifteen to go. A pair of flat right front tires for Peters and Mike Martin were the lone caution flags and weren’t enough to slow Jason Woodard from the clean sweep and the Central Asphalt Paving championship over Caron and Moodie.
