Cory Castell (10x) crosses the strip for his first win in a Sportsman Modified. It would be the fifth week of racing at the Airborne Speedway in the 2021 season on VP Fuels Night and there would be the standard four classes in action with the Sportsman Modifieds, Renegades, 4 Cylinders, and the Limited Sportsman Modified. With all the action from the qualifying heat races in the books, it would be onto the mains for the even. The first one up for the night would be the Hartson Total Opening Renegades after the carnage from the main last week everyone would have their cars back together and have a field of 14 cars. Coming from mid-pack and making a charge in the caution-free 25 lap event Jason McClatchie would get the win in his return to the Renegades after being in the Sportsman Modifieds the last few seasons. He would make the pass on Nathaniel Guay as Guay would start on the pole and the later the race went the loser the car would get and finishing out the top three would be Tylor Terry and Zack Daniels. Next up would be the main event of the evening with the J+S Steel Sportsman Modified for their 30 lap main event. There would be a surprise first-time winner on the night as Cory Castell would start on the pole and get the win for the first-ever Sportsman Modified victory leading wire to wire. Although it would be a wire-to-wire win he would have to hold off Nick Heywood on multiple restarts along with a charging Lonnie Rivers. It definitely would be interesting down the stretch as a late-race multi-car accident would make him have to hold off Nick Heywood for the win. Then it would be the Taylor Rentals 4 Cylinders with a field of 13 cars on track it is one of their bigger shows on the season. There was a 50 dollar bonus put up by Chris Frennier Motorsports to the winner if the 15 lap event went caution-free and for the first 10 laps it looked like it might happen but then in the last five laps they would have four cautions and when the dust settled getting the win making his return to the track after a few years away would be Michael Whalen. Then the last event of the season would be the Chris Frennier Motorsports Limited Sportsman Modified and once again blowing away the field would be the youngster Blayden Arquiett as he continues to amaze the people with his talent at 13 years old. The roar of the engines will return to the Airborne Speedway next weekend with their 4 weekly division plus the return of the Nostalgia Tour. Gallery

Then it would be the Limited Sportsman Modifieds for the rookie drivers in the division early race leader Blayden Arquiett would be pulling away from the field as he was going for the second win in a row but as he was trying to get under a lap car he would catch one of the yoke tires and collapse the who front right end of the racecar. With that taking advantage of the mishap would be Pryor Stacey and get his first win. Then there was just one race left for the night and it would be the Mohawk Sportsman Modified Series 40 lap event. Taking the lead off the start would be Nick Heywood and would be leading the first 24 laps and lapping up 12th place until there was a caution. Off the restart, he would keep the lead but there would another caution from a wreck. That restart would see Nick Heywood and Jamy Begor and Heywood would switch and take the top giving the bottom to Jamy and Begor would get the lead off the start and hold on for the last ten laps get the victory his first of the season. The action will be back again next weekend at Mohawk International Raceway on June 4th with a regular racecard plus an Enduro Qualifier. Gallery

It would be a hard-hitting affair from start to finish in the 4 cylinder stock and modified along with the trucks and vans' small and big divisions. There also were a few 8 cylinders that would be attending. Along with the hard-hitting, there would be a few cars that would get pinned along the wall and get a little too hot and need some attention. When the dust and mud would settle on the night the winners for the event would be Jason Seymour (Big Trucks), Todd Ebersole (small trucks), John Brown (4 cylinders modified), and Terry Reno (4 cylinder stocks.

After all the qualifying was done for the night the only thing that would be left for the night would be the mains and the first one up would be the 4 cylinders for 15 laps and charging from the back to take the lead would be the Jaxson Ryan as the first caution would come out on lap 6 for a spin by Matt Galusha. They would only get one lap in and the caution would be back out for caution for a wreck in turn. On issuing restart the 4 of Jaxson Ryan would just cut clean and Damian Ward would inherit the lead and get the eventual winner on the night. Then next up would be the Street Stock main event with all the action coming in the first five laps as there would be 3 cautions in that time with the big one being when leaders Jimmy Duncan and Paul Braymer would get hooked together and slide to the inside wall. Once the early race wrecking was taken care it would be a great dash to the finish as Josh Bussino would get the win over John Filarecki and Jason Samrov. Then the third main of the night would be the ground-pounding earthshaking Modifieds and it would be a feat just to make the field of 30 for the main as over 40 racers showed up for the night.

The action would be in the middle of the pack as Andrew Pergero and Larry Wight would charge up to second and third behind Keith Flach.
