Speedbowl on summer break July 9

NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing returns July 16 Waterford, CT — Waterford Speedbowl takes a one-week hiatus from its NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing on July 9, following on the heels of the mid-season championship Speedbowl.com 300 last Saturday night. The track hits the break in the midst of some great championship points battles and a season marked by successful individual campaigns at the halfway mark in the Saturday night season.

NASCAR racing resumes on Saturday, July 16 presented by The Rock 106.9 WCCC, with all five Whelen All-American Series divisions in action. The SK Modifieds®, Bob Valenti Auto Mall Late Models, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks and SK Light Modifieds will all be part of the event which also includes a special Saturday appearance by the X-Car division – a staple of the track’s mid-week Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday program.

Each of the Speedbowl’s NASCAR divisions point races are yet to see much separation, speaking to yet another highly competitive season at the shoreline speedway. Keith Rocco, the defending NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national champion and defending track SK Modified® champion is once again in the hunt nationally as well as locally to repeat his titles from a year ago.

In the Mini Stock division, track points leader Glenn Colvin is teetering near the top of NASCAR’s national standings in Division IV among asphalt tracks across the country. Also in the Mini Stock division, defending track champion Ken Cassidy Jr. has moved atop the all-time winners list in the class this season by scoring four victories.

The Speedbowl returns to action next week starting with Wednesday’s Wild ‘n Wacky race program. On Friday, the Show and Go at the ‘Bowl offers free admission for spectator drag racing and a cool car cruise.
