The Sprint Cars of New England (SCoNE) ran a Memorial Day Weekend Doubleheader that featured Bear Ridge Speedway on Saturday night and The Devils Bowl Speedway on Sunday night with Luke Greenwood claiming the win at Bear Ridge and Lacey Hanson best at Devils Bowl.

Saturday night at Bear Ridge Speedway Hudson, NH resident Luke Greenwood broke into the lead at the drop of the Green Flag from his third starting position. Greenwood build a substantial lead but a mid race caution erased his advantage. When the green once again flew Greenwood got away and started to stretch his lead again over Will Hull, who claimed second on the restart, until lapped traffic slowed the leader down. This allowed Hull to move into striking distance as the white flag flew. Coming out of turn four to the checkers Will Hull swing high and nearly stole the win, losing to Luke Greenwood by inches. Clay Dow finished third with Matt Hoyt fourth and Dennis McLeod fifth.

Sunday night SCoNE invaded Devils Bowl Speedway for the first time of the season and found challenging track conditions, a result of the massive amounts of rain the region has received this spring. James Hanson was the man on the move, taking the lead early in the event after starting fourteenth on the grid. His lead was short lived though as cousin Lacey Hanson blasted around him into the lead a few laps later. From there Lacey Hanson dominated, taking the second win of her SCoNE career. James Hanson finished a solid second with Saturday night's winner, Will Hull third. Chris Donnelly, in his first appearance of the season was fourth with Jake Williams rounding out the top five. Dan Douville also made his initial appearance of the season but ended up flipping in the Feature after moving from his seventeenth starting spot to fourth in just nine laps.

The next event on the schedule for the Sprint Cars of New England is June 10th at The Bear Ridge Speedway.
