Scarborough Scores Second Win at Airborne
PLATTSBURGH – Johnny “The Jet” Scarborough held off two late race challenges for his second win of the season in the J&S Steel Sportsman division at Airborne on Saturday night.
Scarborough took the lead away from Tanner Forbes on a lap-12 restart when he powered to the lead from the outside of the front row. The race remained under green flag conditions until a lap-27 yellow flag slowed the pace and setup a restart with Scarborough and Nick Heywood.
The two raced even down through the first two turns and into turn three, then Scarborough cleared off the fourth turn. Coming to the white flag, Scarborough jumped the cushion in turn four, opening the door for Jamy Begor. Begor pushed Scarborough all the way down the back stretch, but couldn’t make the pass in the final turns, settling for second. Heywood, Travis Bruno and Kevin Chaffe completed the top five.
Jason McClathcie was solid in the Hartson Total Opening Renegade division feature event, picking up his second win of the season. McClatchie held off Shawn Duquette for most of the race, as he settled for second. “Wild” Bill Fountain had his best finish of the season, finishing third. Zack Daniels and Nathaniel Guay finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
It was a hat trick for Jake Fountain in the Taylor Rental 4-Cylinder division, as he scored his third win of the year. Michael Whalen, Mat Parker, Josh LaPorte and Nate Smart completed the top five.
Jason Bonnett picked up his first win in his first start of the year in the Chris Frennier Motorsports Limited Sportsman division. Pete Blaney finished second and Dale Gonyo third.
