With just a few weeks of racing left to go on Fast Friday, all of the drivers are itching to get into Victory Lane. Friday night, we saw six different drivers carry the checkered flag. 

We started off the night with the Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Bandits and it was RJ Marcotte holding off Devin Deshaies in the final laps to take down the win. The two drivers made some contact in the final laps, but both hung onto their cars and crossed the line at the finish. Those two are the top two in the point standings heading for the final few weeks. 

In the Bandolero Outlaws, Connor Souza crossed the line first at the end of the 15 lap distance, but he didn't end up with the checkered flag in Victory Lane. Souza's No. 00 did not pass inspection in the pit area and Mason Tessier ended up collecting another win. Tessier will lead the points with just two weeks left on the schedule. 

The Minicup division saw Hugh Bowser get to the front early and put his No. 22 in Victory Lane. Bowser was thrilled in the winner's circle having captured his second career Minicup win. Ava Chouinard will hold the points lead heading for the finish in that class. 

The 20 lap Sport 4 feature came down to a late restart and Tim Bolger looked to be heading to his first career victory. However, the late caution closed the field up and it was points leader David Westgate who took down another win on the season, which was his third. Westgate opened his points lead as he seeks another championship this year. 

The 25 lap Pure Stock feature went off smoothly with DJ Pires taking his first career win in the Pure Stocks. DJ has been close, but was finally able to seal the deal Friday night. He got sideways in the final circuits but was able to hang on over Doug Benoit in a late battle. 

The Nick's Pit Stop Legends Cars came down to a late race battle and in the end Derek Gluchacki took his third win of the year in the Nick Lascuola Racing No. 03. Congrats to Derek and his whole team on another win. 

We have just two Friday night races left to go. Don't miss them!
