CENTER LISLE, N.Y. -- Bret Welch of Berkshire, NY collected over $2,000 for winning the first ever running of "The Flyin' Milkman" Kenny Moore Classic on Sunday, July 3rd at Thunder Mountain Speedway. The driver capitalized on his front-row starting position, a good handling car and having lady luck on his side. Other Winners Included: Butch Green (Hurricane Street Stocks) and Joe Fanelli (XCEL 600 Modifieds).

Bret Welch and Ken Titus led the field of Sportsman to the green flag for the 60-lap feature event. Welch would take control of the race lead with Nick Nye falling into the 2nd position. The caution would come out on lap 2 when Kevin Jordan and Ken Titus spun in turn 2. When the race returned green, the field continued to filter back and fourth from position to position. Welch continued to maintain a steady pace with Nye following close behind. The caution would come out for the final time on lap 28 for an accident involving Marshall Balzer and Larry Hillis, III. As the field completed halfway, Welch led Nye, Ryan Jordan, Larry Hillis and Kevin Jordan. The action continued to mix up for the remaining 30 laps but no one could put a stop to the determination of Welch. Welch would take the checkered flag and win the first ever running of "The Flyin' Milkman" Kenny Moore Classic. Nye finished 2nd with Ryan Jordan, Larry Hillis and Jim LaRock completing the top 5 finishers.

The Issac F. Brown, Jr. Memorial Award for Professionalism and Enthusiasm was presented by Judi Brown (Issac's Wife) and his daughter Val Brown during driver introductions. Issac "Ike" Brown, Jr. was a close friend of the Moore Family and was a devoted race fan from the asphalt to the dirt. In December of 2010 we tragically lost Ike to an automobile accident. This award was given to a driver who always seens to show up race and have fun, regaurdless of the type of night he has at the race track. This award was presented to the driver of the 6nn Sportsman Modified, Nick Nye.
