Race #20 - Burger King Fan Classic

The NASCAR North Tour Series made their 20th stop of 1979 in Milton, Vermont at the Catamount Stadium, for the Burger King Fan Classic.

Stub Fadden led the field to the Green Flag as drivers raced for the tenth time at the Catamount Stadium as an early caution would keep the field bunched up and allowed for drivers to make it the rest of the way without making a pit stop. With fuel no longer a factor, drivers went all out as Fadden quickly began to put distance between himself and his challengers, but working his way up from his third starting spot was Kevin Cavanagh, who would take the lead with twenty nine laps to go, and thanks to a late race caution, Cavanagh would hold off points leader Beaver Dragon for his first win of his career.

Cavanagh led 1 time for 29 laps, which were the final 29 laps,
It was the 1st win of his career in the NASCAR North Tour Series in his 18th start,

Race #21 - Monadnock 100

The NASCAR North Tour Series made their 21st stop of 1979 in Winchester, New Hampshire at the Monadnock Speedway, for the Monadnock 100.

Points leader Beaver Dragon led the field to the Green Flag but it was Claude Leclerc who would get a big run on the outside and would go on to lead the first lap as drivers raced for the very first time around the 0.250 mile short track.
