Pinkham Rocco Among Speedbowl Winners

Waterford, CT — Upon his first-ever visit to the Waterford Speedbowl on Saturday evening, Dave Pinkham of Buxton, Maine went home a winner celebrating the second True Value Modified Racing Series win of his career. During the early laps it was Ed Dachenhausen and Les Hinckley setting the pace until coming together on lap-42. Both were sent to the rear of the field, and resulting restart saw Dwight Jarvis inheriting the lead. On a late-race restart, Pinkham slipped-by Jarvis, going on to win by several car-lengths. The race was marred by a red flag period with 65-laps remaining when Jimmy Blewett became airborne, flipped, and slammed into the fourth-turn wall on his roof. Blewett was uninjured. Following Pinkham was Dwight Jarvis, Les Hinckley, Chris Pasteryak, and, Vinny Annarummo Jr.

Other feature winners were Keith Rocco (SK Modified), Ed Reed Jr. (Late Model), Chris “Moose” Douton (Sportsman), and, Jeff “Soup” Civardi (Mini Stock).
