The 2012 TM Lights Round of New Hampshire, the 15th round in the 2012 TM Lights season, was held at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire.

Summary[edit | edit source]

The pole went to John Jefferson in the MRD Motorsports 37 car, Quan Xing in the 3 lined up beside him. Jefferson grabbed the lead early.

Brian Morris in the 14, the winner of last race at Fontana, was all the way back in 2nd last, not the way he wanted to back up that result.

Bit of biff and barge occurs between a 3 wide battle between Archer Harris, Afzal Tahmid and Dermid Scott occurs with Harris getting the worst of it. Mike Andrews goes to this inside of Harris and Jamie Davison and slows up for something and loses about 7 positions in the process.

John Jefferson loses the lead to Eric Molina and Quan Xing also passes Jefferson.

Points leader Troy Adams is in 10th position on lap 15, which is way ahead of his points rival Cameron Taylor at the time where Taylor was 21st at that time.

Thomas Kade blows up on lap 21.

First caution came out on lap 37 where the pole sitter Jefferson gets in a 3 wide battle with Jim Hayes and Justin Robinson where Robinson sweeps up the track forcing Jefferson into Hayes and then hits the wall, coming back in front of Dermid Scott and hitting the inside wall hard.

Nasu Tsunemochi and Martin Boltano have a little argument after Baltano hits Tsunemochi under yellow.

Eric Molina led the field to the green with Bobby Dollar in 2nd. Points leader Troy Adams is in 4th and rival Cameron Taylor back in 24th position at this point.

Dollar passes Molina goint into turn 1 to take the lead. More biff and barge occurs when Andrea Kinasa is in a 3 wide battle with Brooke Ingerswen and Jacob Kard with Kinasa hitting the wall.

Kinasa ends up falling to the back and nearly gets into a crash with 2 of the slowest cars in the field, Martin Boltano and Joseph Cummings. But they keep it straight.

2nd Caution is out for Thurston Blood getting into Clair Auxier and then sweeps off of Jim Hayes front bumper causing Blood to spin into the wall but the contact was light.

Ex-leader Eric Molina blows up in 4th. Bad break for Molina who was having a really strong run.

Dollar leads to the green with Adams in 2nd and Mark Blackwell in 3rd, making both the Nikon cars in the top 5.

Blackwell and Robinson both pass Adams and they go after Dollar and Blackwell takes the lead off of Dollar as Robinson aids Blackwell to get by with making it 3 wide and Dollar having a wider line for the corner as Robinson backs out. Later on Robinson snatches 2nd place off of Dollar.

Mark Blackwell wins the race at NHIS with teammate Justin Robinson edging out Bobby Dollar for 2nd making a Unit 11 Motorspors 1-2. Dollar comes home 3rd.
