CUMBERLAND – What is now a shopping plaza that includes a Stop & Shop and a McDonald's holds a noted place in American auto racing history: It is the site of the first sanctioned stock car race in the United States outside the South.
Not only would the first stock car races in the North be held in ***** berland, but the national championship would be decided there.
On Oct. 26, 1947, Fonty Flock, of Atlanta, won the national championship race on the one-third-mile, high-banked, paved oval track of the Lonsdale Sports Arena off Mendon Road on the bank of the Blackstone River, just downstream from Pratt Dam.
A crowd of 18,000 watched the seven races that Sunday afternoon, part of a program sanctioned by National Stock Car Circuit head Bill France, who, a couple of months later, would become head of the newly formed NASCAR, the governing body of stock car auto racing.
Only days before the history-making auto races, Lonsdale Sports Arena made history in another sport: The bowl-shaped arena hosted 32,000 spectators in what was the largest football crowd ever in Rhode Island at that time, as Cranston High School beat La Salle Academy, 20-2. The huge crowd snarled traffic for hours in the area.

SEEKONK – There were 11 former champions in the field at the 121st Rhode Island State Amateur, but the biggest name on the tee sheet was a Cranston native making his debut.
Mike “Sonny” Kollet planned to work in golf, but never could have predicted it happening the way it did. The former burned out ***** istant pro turned social media influencer didn’t have any cameras following him Monday at Ledgemont Country Club in Seekonk on the first day of qualifying rounds for the state amateur, showing that’s he more than just a guy goofing off on the course for clicks.
“I wanted to see if I had it,” said Kollet after shooting a 1-over par 72, putting him in the thick of achieving one of his goals. “I’m sure it would be the greatest content ever, but there are so many better players out there.
“I just want to make it to match play.”

Benny Blanco says his mother saw his future with Selena Gomez before they were officially together and even encouraged him to marry her while he was still dating someone else.
On the latest episode of his Friends Keep Secrets podcast alongside Breaking Bad stars Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston, the 38-year-old producer recalled the moment his mother made the surprising suggestion.
"The crazy thing is 2019, I'm shooting a video with Selena. I'm dating someone else," Blanco recalled near the 39-minute mark in the video below. "My mom's on the video shoot and she says, 'Hun, … you should marry Selena.' And I was like, 'What?' And she was like, 'You should be dating someone like Selena.'"
He continued, "And there was like two times in my life where I left a specific session late or video with her where I was like, 'Wow, she's so cool. She's like really cool.' 'Cause we were friendly and we were friends, but we weren't like best friends. And every time I hung out with her for an extended period of time, I'd be like, 'Oh my god, she's so cool.'"
