Seekonk, MA — Westport Ma. native Tom Scully Sr. went wire to wire to pick up his first win since 2006.After crashing out on opening night, the Subway of Seekonk, East Coast Collision Monte Carlo was back up to full song. Tom grabbed the lead on the initial green, overpowering Mike Brightman from Acushnet Ma. Mike tried to hang on in his Impact Collision Fusion #29, but Ken Spencer, who led much of the opening nights events, glued himself to the rear bumper of Scully. Brightman settled into third, while Rookie of the Year contender Jake Vanada and Fred Astle followed suite in the top 5. There was no change in the top five until Astle, in the Wood Frame Structures Chevy #30 slip up to the second groove, and worked his way into 4th by lap 15.
It was on the eighteenth circuit that the field was slowed for the first and only time. Opening night feature winner Tom Scully Jr was working his way up from his fourteenth starting position. He was working the outside of Vanada, while also trying to squeeze under the lapped car of Joseph Melberg of Attleboro, MA. Vanada got a little loose, and he slid up into the deuce of Scully, forcing him and the Melberg mount into the wall, ending both of their nights. Joey Cerullo in the Flood Auto Group Ford Fusion #6 retired to the pits at this time, fighting mechanical woes.
