Press Release: Norway Speedway Results 05/26/23

Pontbriand Double Dips! First time in Norway Speedway history!

Norway Hill, Michigan native Joey Pontbriand claimed the top spot on both the Super Stock and Super Late Model class Friday night! A beautiful Friday night at the track which feature 5 classes of racing had a great kick off to the season!

The 1st Bink’s Coca-Cola Late Model race was led to green by Pontbriand and Adam Faull, Pontbriand would take the lead away and Faull would follow for the 1st part of the show. Scott Stanchina of Kingsford, MI would soon put the heat on the 2nd year driver and eventually get by Faull. As the race went on the cautions stacked up and Pontbriand and Stanchina would run nose to tail in a clean battle for the top spot. Stanchina would respectfully settle for second, Chad Butz would race from his 15th starting spot to finish 3rd rounding out the top 3! Faull would settle into 4th and Andy Monday rounded out the top 5!

The Auto Value Street Stock feature had veteran Mike Bubloni Jr. Lead them to the green flag. Mike would pace the field for several laps until Jeremy Yelle of Gwinn, MI would wrestle the top spot away from Bubloni. Bubloni would go around with the help of 4th place running Nick Anderson and the yellow would fly. Yelle would have a mirror full of John Komp and Joey Pontbriand. Pontbriand would pass Yelle on the top side to take the lead. A late caution would help Komp take over the 2nd spot and 4 time track Timmy Schultz Jr. round out the top 3! Yelle would settle in 4th and rookie standout Dean Bellmore would finish in an impressive 5th!

The 141 Stock Cars action was action packed! This class known for its 3 wide tight quarter racing once again proved that to be true! Joe Ostermann, Brian Massicotte, and BJ Schoneck race side by side bumper to bumper all night long. Jon Maenpaa a title contender stuck his B52 machine in the dog fight for a while finally ending up 4th. In the end though it was Massicotte taking top honors over Massicotte!

The Four Banger class was unreal action with 25 cars making up the 2 features! Results are still being compiles, but the A feature was won by the "Italian Stallion" Brent Ayotte!
