Rick Martin picks up his fifth title, his first in the Sport Trucks to go along with his four in the Pro Stocks. Fred Astle makes it three in a row, and five total in the Pro Stocks, trying two records. Ryan Vanasse goes back to back in the Late Models. Steve Axon picks up his first Street Stock title. While Rick Martin won the Sport Truck drivers title, Jeff McCure won the owners' championship.
Fred Astle is the second driver with 3 consecutive Pro Stock titles, tying Norm Holden who did it in 1983, 84 and 85. He is also the second driver with 5 Pro Stock titles, joing Vinny Annarummo in that column.
Ryan Vanasse is the latest driver to win back to back Late Model championships. Doing both while also competing with the Pro Stocks as well.
Rick Martin picked up five wins on his way to his first Sport Truck title. This gives him a total of 5 at Seekonk. He also has 4 Pro Stock Championships on his resume. While Rick was the driver champion, he lost out on the owners portion of the title by 2 points. Jeff McCure, owner of the #46 driven by Dylan Estrella, won the owners title. The truck was driven by Dick Houlihan for one race while Dylan was absent. This is why the difference. Dylan finished second in the Sport Truck standings.
Steve Axon has been a consistent top competitor in the ultra competitive Street Stock ranks. His two wins helped him pick up his first Street Stock title in a tight battle.
Congratulations to Jeff Mercure, Dylan Estrella, Barry Estrella, Brian Kingsbury and the 46 truck team supporters! Although driver Dylan Estrella did not win the driver points championship, Mercure Motorsports won the owner's points in the team's first full season in the truck division. Thank you to Dick Houlihan for filling in for Dylan when he missed a week and went to his prom.
