Boron sweeps Pro finals in Barton for Rock Maple Racing series

BARTON, VT (Mar. 8, 2010) - For more than a dozen years, Jason Boron has
been racing snowmobiles all over the northeast. He's won in just about every
state that has ever hosted a race, and continues to add more victories to
his region-leading statistics each winter.
Boron (D&Z Racing/Ski-doo) brought his winning reputation to northern
Vermont last weekend, sweeping the Pro finals as Rock Maple Racing (RMR)
completed Round 8 on the 2009-10 schedule Sunday afternoon at the Orleans
County Fairgrounds.
The nine-time champion (Pro and Semi-Pro classes) from Leverett,
Massachusetts, got things revved up in Saturday's Pro Stock final. New York
native Jason Rudd grabbed the holeshot and led the first two laps. Boron
found a better line through the rhythm section and sailed on by, then pulled
steadily away to the checkered.
In Sunday's Pro Open final, Boron launched off the line like a rocket and
led every lap. Former RMR standout Adam Sedlmeier, now riding a Polaris for
Team Southside, acted like he's never missed a race and came home second,
while Rudd capped a solid weekend in third. Yes, it was a throwback to the
good old days with these well-known riders on top.
Action in the Pro Vet class brought back some memories, as well. Former RMR
rider Todd Smith made a triumphant return to racing in Barton. Smith, of
Derry, N.H., checked out on Joe Lemieux to claim Sunday's final, while Maine
veteran Jason Soucy filled out the podium. Steffanie Lemieux closed in on
another title in Pro Women, as she held off weekly rivals Paige Calderwood
and KC Anderson for top honors.
In Semi-Pro action at Barton, local favorite Lincoln Lemieux was on top of
his game. The rising star from nearby St. Johnsbury grabbed the holeshot in
Saturday's Open final, with points rival Corin Todd right on his bumper.
Todd had a rare off-sled experience in this one, allowing Michael George a
chance to hunt down Lemieux. He came up short and settled for second, while
New York rider Cody Flach worked his way up to third.
Flach had the race of his season in Sunday’s Semi-Pro Stock final. The
number one qualifier slotted into second behind Ash Woskob, quickly moved
into the lead and stayed there until a late-race bobble cost him the win.
Woskob notched his first career RMR victory, while Todd and Lemieux claimed
second and third respectively.
Chris Coleman is another one of those rising stars beginning to turn heads
in the Sport division. The talented racer from Albany, NY, won Sunday's
Super Stock final ahead of some pretty stiff competition.
While weekly strongmen Jake Scott, Jesse James Bonaduce and Chris Ingles all
missed the podium, Coleman was happy to rule the roost. Bruce Gaspardi Jr.
(second) and Aaron Adams (third) comprised a different-than-usual top three.
Scott won Saturday's Super Stock final ahead of Bonaduce and Adams, then
added the Sport Stock 600 final to his successful outing.
In Junior division action over the weekend, usual suspects Montana Jess and
Ed Bandel recorded multiple victories. Jess, of Westminster, Mass., held off
Hunter Patenaude and Wade Acker to claim Saturday's 10-13 Stock 380 and 600
Fan finals, then repeated the feat Sunday to make it a four-win weekend.
Bandel, of Mohawk, NY, surpassed those numbers with two wins Saturday and
four more Sunday, while Abigail Catlin, Mason Pierce and Tucker Olsen also
posted final round wins.
Other final round winners over the weekend in Barton include Joe Bishop
(Sport 500); Rene Desrochers (Plus 35 Masters); Daryl Nutting (Plus 25
Stock); Mason Pierce (Jr. 8-10 300 Freestyle Sunday); and Sam Potter (Trail
600 Saturday and Sunday).
Rock Maple Racing would like to thank the Orleans County Fair Association
for hosting two back-to-back weekends of racing. Also deserving a special
thanks are the Desrochers, Lemieux and Patenaude families for their efforts
to make conditions more favorable last weekend. In a mild winter like this,
adequate snow for racing and dry ground is tough to find.
RMR will conclude the nine-race 2009-10 snocross campaign on March 27-28, at
the beautiful Peek N' Peak ski resort in Findley Lake, New York. For
