ROBIE AND ZULLO CROWNED CHAMPS SATURDAY AT MONADNOCK
Monadnock Speedway Saturday, September 13, event story
WINCHESTER, N.H. - Monadnock Speedway closed out its 55th summer of racing Saturday, with a huge crowd cheering as solid car counts in seven unique divisions battled for the final points and bragging rites earned during the long and successful summer of excitement on the high banks of the Great Race Place.
Along with Weekly Racing Series championships and memorable high finishes atop the 2025 divisional points parades to be decided at the speedway;s 2025 season finale at the storied quarter-mile, the Teddy Bear Pools and Spas Triple Crown final event, postponed by rain a week earlier, was at stake too.
Longtime pace truck driver Leo Martin led the All States Material Group 604 Modifieds to the green for the final time Saturday, Andrew Brousseau and Joey Jarvis, both 2025 feature winners, sat up front. But not for long.
Blasting off from fourth on the grid, Leary was in front before lap one was completed, and he’d never look back en route to victory. Having early set fast time with a lap of 12.207 seconds, Leary was untouchable.
Ty Leclerc kept him close until giving way to Robie, who’d started at the back after missing qualifying, on lap 32 but Leary would not be denied. Robie’s strong run netted him the 2025 track championship as well the Teddy Bear Pools crown, and Leclerc ended his season in third.
A year ago, Chris Riendeau had a magical season en route to the Monadnock Speedway Super Street championship. This summer, that magic belonged to second-generation ace Dylan Zullo.
Firing from row three in the Twin State Truck Services 50-lap main event, Zullo took the lead from JD Stockwell Saturday and soared off to his sixth win of the season and, with it, his first career track championship. Justin Beecher’s runner-up finish earned him the Teddy Bear Pools title, and Stockwell held strong for third.
Cameron Sontag closed out his Fabian Fuels Mini Stock season with a flourish Saturday. Taking the lead from Claremont regular Dick LaMotte on lap 18, the Sterling, Mass. hot shoe outran Jon Fultz to the checkers and his second win of the season.
Fultz's second-place run earned him his first Monadnock track championship and the Teddy Bear Pools & Spas Triple Crown championship, and Julia Kendall was a strong third in the season finale.
Markus O’Neil led early in the Brattleboro Towing and Recovery Pure Stock feature, but he had a swarm of potent challengers flying in his shadow, none more ominous than the dynamic duo of Kyle Kenny and Carlos Grenier as the 20-car field went to war.
Kenny held the deuce spot by lap five, but Grenier had plans of his own. Gordon Farnum’s bid for four wins in a row fell by the wayside in a lap-three caution, and Grenier - crowned champion of Claremont’s Ridge Runners the night before, took charge on lap 13 and never looked back.
Kenny’s second-place finish earned the talented young Green Mountain State pilot his first career track championship, and O’Neil’s rock-solid night’s work brought him home third, just ahead of Kyle Boniface and Jimmy Zellman. Grenier captured the Teddy Bear Pools & Spas Triple Crown championship.
Travis Hollins earned the 2025 Six Shooter championship by the slimmest of margins. Entering Saturday’s season finale, he trailed 2024 champ Michael Yeaton by two points, then pulling even with his heat race win to be dead even as the feature went green.
Hollins led all the way in the Six Shooter main event, holding off the hard charging Yeaton to win his first career championship. With Yeaton second, Josh Brigham was third in Saturday’s 25-lapper.
Matt Robinson took the lead on lap 11 of the Pro V8 Sportsman feature and sped off to his first career win on the high banks. Scott Riggleman - a regular at Wall Stadium in New Jersey, was second, and Stephen Dubois came home third. The exciting full-fendered division will compete eight times next summer on the high banks.
Sofia Rego led all the way in the final Doug’s Auto Body Young Guns event of the year. It was Rego’s fourth victory in the youth division. Maya Bell was second Saturday, and seven-time 2025 winner Hunter Duquette was third, before later scoring a top ten finish in the Pure Stocks.
The season now concluded, Monadnock Speedway is already building toward an incredible 2026 campaign. Stay tuned to both the speedway’s website, www.monadnockspeedway.com, and its facebook page for all the exciting details.
