Twin State Speedway Tuff Track

Seeing the need to diversify, Twin State Speedway will be adding a All New racing dirt track in the center of the tar the track. In 2007 Twin State Speedway added a 150 ft. mud pull that draws a full house to the track. Opening in 2009, the new Tuff Track will feature ATV, 4cly. Auto & 4 & 8 cly.Trucks racing. In 2008 TSS hope to put on 3 shows starting in late July as a special to its Friday Weekly Racing Series.

Three Race Tracks in one, completely defendant from each other, all promoting  Racing.   

The True Value Modified Racing Series rolls into Twin State Speedway.

Claremont, NH  (Mar 14,2008) --- When the True Value Modified Racing Series rolls into Twin State Speedway, Claremont, NH., in September, the first ever race there for the fifth year series will honor the memory of one of it’s finest competitors.

In a joint announcement, track owner Dennis Fleury and series president Jack Bateman, the principals responsible for the inaugural event, advise the 1^st annual “Ricky Miller Memorial 100,” presented by New England Outdoor Furnaces,” will be held on Sunday afternoon Sept.28^th  as part of the Twin State Speedway Fall Challenge, a two day event.

Miller, a Twin State (Claremont Speedway) standout for many years before moving on to the Whelen Modified Tour and the NASCAR Busch Series died at the age of 34. The popular competitor, a one time Florida racer and crew chief for noted car owner/builder Mario Fiore, would also win the last Whelen Modified Tour race at the famed Riverside Park Speedway, Agawam, MA., and claim that tracks final championship for the modified division prior to it’s 1999 closing.

The addition of the September race to the TVMRS schedule has generated a tremendous amount of interest from fans and racers. The opportunity to honor and remember one of the speedways greatest names make’s the event that more special.

TSS race director Mike Parks noted that the late racer was a big part of the tracks long history. “We wanted to make this event as special as we can, so with the help of the TVMRS and Donnie and Barbara Miller, what a way to bring the Mods back. Ricky cut his teeth racing at the Thrasher Road oval from the start of his racing career, racing in the street stocks with his AMC Javelin. From that point he made the jump to the pro stock class again with many feature wins to his credit. The Miller family has a long history at TSS as Ricky’s dad Donnie “The Golden Jet “Miller was a multi time track champion at the speedway. TSS is proud to be able to honor Ricky with this event.”

Series founder Bateman fondly remembered Miller who passed away in 2004. “I am really happy that the TVMRS and Twin State Speedway have been able to put this together. Donnie Miller is a longtime friend who I raced with for many years. Donnie was one of Claremont’s modified hero’s, known as” The Golden Jet”. His son Ricky followed in his footsteps racing on the local short tracks. He was a strong competitor and became a good friend to me and many in the local racing fraternity. I know that we are all going work really hard to make the series’ inaugural visit to Twin State a huge success. I want to thank track owner Dennis Fleury and everyone involved for making this happen.”

The legendary “Golden Jet” Donnie Miller was ecstatic to learn that his late son was going to be remembered in front of many of the drivers he raced with and an anticipated big turnout from modified fans from all over New England. “Ricky’s mother, sister, brother, and I are so honored to have a racing tribute in Ricky’s memory. He would be very proud and so humbled to have a modified racing event to include his name and memory.  Ricky was a true racer and the now Twin State Speedway (formerly Claremont Speedway) was where he cut his teeth in racing at a very young age. It is also where he raced his last race.  He raced from Maine to Florida in many different divisions and was moving up racings ladder of success when he was taken from us in the prime of his life.”

The New England racing great added that this race has an additional meaning for him and his family. “I want this event to mean something special and that is why I have decided to make it a fund raiser for Kyle and Patty Petty’s Victory Junction Gang Camp located in North Carolina.  Kyle and Patty Petty also lost their son Adam Petty at a very young age.  They founded this camp to help chronic and terminally ill children in Adam’s memory.

Miller closed saying, “I would like to say thank you very much from the bottom of my heart to all those involved in making this happen.  You know who you are and it is greatly appreciated.”

Merrill takes win at Twin State Speedway

CLAREMONT – It was a night of bangs and booms at Twin State Speedway Friday night.

 After dodging area thunderstorms, the Thrasher Road speedplant welcomed Whelen Engineering to the track for a full card of local racing.

The bangs and booms came courtesy of Atlas Fireworks, who lit the sky with a dazzling array of munitions.

The on track action came courtesy of Mark Merrill in the Pro Late Models, who came back from a wreck two weeks ago to storm through heat racing and win the pole. Once the feature started there was no looking back for the black and red 99 car, streaking out in front of the pack and barely feeling pressure as he rolled through the corners and on to the checkered flag. Applying the pressure was Todd Davis in the 34 car who was always close but never able to put himself in a position to pass for the lead. Likewise for third place finisher Dennis Stange. Bryan Town and John Meany Jr. filled out the top five.

Dana Smith had smooth sailing in the Modified feature, - once he got out of the traffic.Smith started mid-pack but wasted little time picking his way through the field and eventually grabbing the lead away for himself. A few laps later Smith was not only out front, but pulling a sizeable lead. Chris Riendeau and Aaron Whipple finished two and three. Heino and Nate Kehoe wrapped up the top five.

Scott MacMichael flew to first place in the Super Streets race leaving his competitors - and a late race wreck - in his wake. With just a few laps left second running Chris Wilk and third place Dola Holland came together coming out of turn two and ended up back in the pack for it. Russ Davis inherited second place and Nicholas Boivin took third. Kris Lyman and Joey Jarvis finished in the top five.

Jarvis won’t be denied in the Strictly Stocks division, starting at the back of the pack and working up to a large lead and taking his ninth win of the season.

Ben Poland took second place ahead of Michael Spear in third. Tara Tarbell returned to the track with four more cylinders than when last she raced, finishing fourth. Kyle Davis took fifth.

Bruce Jaycox took the win in the Wild Cats race, flying by Kyle Small for the lead with five laps left and taking the checkered flag. Small took second and Jeremiah Losee finished third.

Seth Melcher took a win in the Sportsman division, battling with Jeff Murray before taking the lead spot. Murray finished second and Dylan Bodreau took third. Kaitlin Stone and Shaylyn Burke filled out the top five.

A track announcement that radios and mirrors would no longer be allowed at the track opened up some passionate conversation between management and racers at a pre-race pit meeting.

Management presented that mirror-driving and radio coaching was having a negative effect on racing, which wasn’t argued by the racers.

The main concern was one of safety for the drivers, many of whom require communication with a spotter to be sure of those around them. Modern race seats cut down on visibility, making a radio more than merely helpful as one car owner pointed out.

The two groups agreed to compromise on the subject in the end. Radios and mirrors stayed in the cars, but all radio frequencies had to be reported to race command for future screening.

The two groups will revisit the topic again next week.

Racing returns the Twin State Speedway on the fourth of July, sponsored by 1010 AM WNCL.

Spectators will have a chance to make their own fireworks with On-Track burnouts. Even the kids can get in on the action with bike races – every kid who shows up with a bike gets in for free.

Looking ahead to the July 11 race, Twin State Speedway welcomes Pepsi Bottling Group for an on-track Pepsi party. Fans will have a chance to come down on the track and meet their favorite local drivers before the Pepsi Modifieds race for a $1,000 purse.

Also at the track July 5 is the Twin State Speedway Mud Bogs, featuring the dirtiest, nastiest 150’ of muck around.

Dirt Track Racing in 2009 at Twin State Speedway ?????

Blue prints & plans are being made how and work will start in early summer of 2008 for a all new Tough Truck Track to be in middle of  the tar track now. This race/event will be on 3rd Sat. of the month in 2009. Much like our Mud Boggs - racers will run through a short water pit, go over jumps, turns & corners. The plans have two racers racing at one time. With our mud bog races/events being a lot of fun and well attended, the new Trough Truck Track should just add to the racing at Twin State Speedway.

Friday Night Aug. 29, 2008, Twin State Speedway plans to have a Trough Truck's 1^st show with our regular Friday show.

Make Plans Now for a good time.
