Weekend of June 13th & 14th
2008
Bergeron Racing has a Bad Weekend.....
It definitely was Friday the 13th at Lee USA Speedway. We got caught up in
an accident on the front stretch and it all went down hill from there. We
managed to get back on the track and got spun out two more times before
the end of the race. J.R. Baril went into the wall hard and was taken away
in the ambulance. Lee officials called the race with 37 laps in and we
managed to take a sixth place finish. The crew worked very hard that
evening and all the next morning to get the car ready for WMMP.
The weekend did not get any better, we missed the first practice at the
WMMP. We went through tech before our qualifier and was told everything
was ok. We started fifth in our heat and qualified third. Then we had to
go back through tech and got DQ'd for ride height. A different tech person
checked the ride height and said it did not pass.
They really should both be on the same page. If we had known it was not
right the first time we went through we would have fixed the problem. So
we started dead last in the feature and got caught up in a wreck on the
first lap. So, all in all we had a very bad weekend and look forward to
getting the monkey off our back. The crew will be in the garage all week
getting the car back together for this coming weekend.

Chris claws his way back to a 7th Place Finish at WMMP
Well the evening started out good. We went out for practice and the car
was rolling. Chris started in the 5th position for the heat race and
finished 3rd. The car was a little loose, so the crew made a few
adjustments. We started the feature 7th and the car was going pretty good.
On lap 13 Chris went inside of the #12 car for the fourth position and was
clearly up to his driver door, when the #12 came down and spun out. His
spotter must have been eatin french fries or something and did not see the
bright orange car. The track put us to the rear and gave the #12 car the
fourth position back. I hope the track would make the same call if the
shoe was on the other foot. Anyway we managed to get a 7th place finish
and had a lot of fun. Congratulations to Stacey Cahoon and the #83 team on
their win. We will be racing this Friday evening at Lee USA Speedway and
if all goes well we will be back at WMMP on Saturday.

Chris takes 6th at WMMP
We had another good week at WMMP. Chris started 8th in his qualifier and
finished 5th. He had to start 12th in the feature due to his win the week
before. We finished sixth which we consider a very good run. There
are a lot of competitive cars in the WMMP late model division.
Congratulations to the 47 team on their win. We will see you again this
Saturday....

Chris Wins @ White Mountain
Motorsports Park!!!
Chris started the NAPA Auto Parts Late Model feature on the
outside pole thanks to the lucky Todd Murray drawing #1 on the redraw for
the second heat race. Chris took the lead on lap two to never looked back.
The race went green to checkered with no cautions. Rick Thompson in the #8
finished second and Dan Colby in the #60 took third. Our crew would like
to thank everyone at WMMP for making us feel welcome at their facility.
Also, we would to thank all the competitors for racing us very clean and
professional. We look forward to going back to the White Mountains again
this Saturday along with the PASS Tour. Come on up and watch some great
racing.
Chris lead every lap and dominated the Late Model
feature at White Mountain Motorsports Park tonight!! Story

Lee was rained out yet another week, we are not sure we
will get back there. We went to the White Mountain Motorsports Park on
Saturday May 10th for their car show and practice. We had a great time and
the car was rolling by the end of the practice sessions. What a great
facility, everyone there was friendly and very accommodating. We will be
racing at the White Mountains this Saturday May 17th at 5:00 PM.

Chris Comes Home 15th in ACT Debut!!
April 23, 2008
Bergeron Racing is pretty happy with our first race running with the ACT
Tour. Fifty cars showed up to qualify for the Governor's Cup 100 at Lee
USA Speedway. The 27NH qualified fourth in the second consi race, which
was a great accomplishment with this many cars trying to make the show.
This gave Chris a 24th starting position out of 30 cars. He managed to
finish the race 15th. Even after getting caught up in a wreck on lap four
causing front end damage to the car. Our next adventure will be May 3rd
and 4th at Thunder Road in Barre VT. We will be attending the car show and
practice on Saturday and trying to make our second ACT show on Sunday.
Check in later for pictures from the race.
2008 Schedule Starting to Shape Up
We will be going to the Thunder Road car show and their practice day to
shake the car down and get some experience at the high banked track.
The crew is excited to get out there and try something new to them and
meet all of their new competitors and the officials. A quick update
on the car. We picked up our new motor last week from Butler McMaster. The
motor is in and the car is almost ready to go. Phil has just about
completed the lettering and the car is looking good. Cory should have some
updated pictures of the car which will hopefully be posted later this
week. Keep checking in for updates.
Maine Indoor Karting
March 12, 2008
The team had a bachelor
party for Todd Rook. Chris is the best man in the wedding so the team
took a 3 hour trip to Maine Indoor Karting Center to hammer on the go
karts. . Most of the crew attended in all 12 people went and 11 of us
ran the karts. Todd and the rest of the crew had a blast, this may
possibly may turn into a yearly trip for the crew. Check out the newest
pictures that have been added to the media page.
February 21, 2008
The car has been painted and is ready to be lettered. We are
still waiting for the new motor which should be done this week or
next. Other than that we are ready to go racing. When warmer whether
hits we are going to have the trailer floor bullhided inside and 6 or
8 inches up on the sides. That is pretty much it for now. We are
pretty sure we are going to the Thunder Road car show because practice
is right after the show and we are racing there the next day.
