With a large crop of big names entered, it would have been easy to overlook Sam Rameau heading into last Saturday’s Tri-Track Open Modified Series race at Monadnock Speedway.
Rameau won a Tri-Track race at the Winchester, N.H., quarter-mile last year, but his name isn’t Ryan Preece or Justin Bonsignore or Ron Silk all former NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champions in the Wonder Casino 100 field the headline event of the first night of the season-opening Spring Dash.
The 18-year-old from Westminster had the last laugh, as he recovered from restarting 17th after a pit stop to pass Silk for the victory in the closing laps, giving him two Tri-Track wins in a row at Monadnock and the $6,000 winner’s check.

With his triumph in the 50-lap event, Beatty posted his ninth career victory.
Beatty had opened a sizable lead over former two time champion Kyle Soper of Manorville until a minor spin on Lap 39 drew the first and only caution of the race.
“I sure didn’t want to see that caution,” Beatty said. “Kyle is one of the best out here and he tested me.”
Beatty passed that test. Soper was runner-up, with C.J. Lehmann of Lake Grove third, Dylan Slepian of Dix Hills fourth and Chris Young of Calverton fifth.
Defending Late Model champion Jeremy McDermott of Riverhead was a season-opening winner for a second year in a row, a 40-lap Late Model race. It was his 22nd career win, leaving him one behind Scott Kulesa (23) for fifth on the all-time win list. Joe Warren Jr. of Ridge impressed with his runner-up finish. Gerald Giordano of Freeport made a rare Riverhead visit to place third.
