Two in a row in the SK Lite's for Stafford Driver Payton Henry

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

In the 20-lap SK Light Modified feature event, Geoff Boisjolie and Jay Goff were racing hard side by side for the lead on the opening lap and the caution came out with 1 lap on the scoreboard as Kyle Jette spun in turn 1 and Joey Ferrigno got caught in the high lane as Jette came back up the track.  Mark Alkas also spun trying to avoid Jette and Daniel Wesson came to a stop in turn 2 and had to be towed off the track.
Jay Goff powered by Boisjolie on the restart to move into the lead.  Tony Membrino, Jr. was on the outside of Boisjolie for second when Boisjolie spun coming off turn 2 to bring the caution out with 2 laps complete.
Glenn Griswold took a ride through the infield grass on the backstretch on the restart but he was able to keep his car moving and he rejoined at the rear of the field as the race stayed green.  Membrino was the leader with Payton Henry getting around Goff to move into second.  Bob Charland and Nick Salva were side by side for fourth place with Salva taking the place on lap-7.
The cvaution came out with 12 laps complete as Alkas and Goff spun in opposite ends of the track.  Back under green, Henry was challenging Membrino on the outside for the lead and Salva nearly made it 3-wide but backed out and fell back into line in third.  The caution came back out with 14 laps complete as Charland spun and hit the frontstretch wall and Todd Douillard spun.
Henry took the lead from Membrino on the restart and Stephen Kopcik moved into second with Membrino falling back to third.  Salva was challenging Membrino for fourth place when the caution came out with 15 laps complete for a spin by Kyle Trayner.
