Waterford, CT — Saturday marked the return of Wings and Wheels to the New London-Waterford Speedbowl for the 8th consecutive season. The Valenti Modified Racing Series, along with 6 other divisions were on the card for the annual event.

Starting the night off, the SK Modified division took to the track for 35 laps of open wheeled action. Leading the field to the first green flag of the night was Jeff Gallup. Gallup led the first 5 laps until Rob Janovic used a move to the inside to take the lead, with Tyler Chadwick and Joey Gada following. The yellow flag came out on lap 7, when Tim Jordan made contact with Craig Lutz, sending Lutz into the Turn 3 wall. On the ensuing restart, Chadwick used the high side to power by Janovic, and never looked back. Chadwick came into the night trailing Diego Monahan by 7 points. Monahan, who started the race in 10th, had to pit early for a loose fuel cap and had to battle back through the field, where he finished 6th. Lutz came into the night tied for fifth in points with Keith Rocco, a points race that was separated by just 15 points from 5th to 1st. Gada, Rocco, Janovic, and Paul Kusheba rounded out the top 5. Monahan still holds a slim 1 point lead over Chadwick heading into next week.

In the SK Light feature, Christopher Gombos led the first 2 laps, but could not hold off Paul French. French took the lap on lap 3 and dominated the race, surviving 3 restarts to do so. Josh Galvin, Corey Barry, David Arute, and Randy Churchill capped off the top 5. After post-race inspection, French’s transmission was found to be illegal and he was disqualified from the event. The DQ gave Josh Galvin the win, his 1st win of the season and 1st win in the SK Light division. Galvin is the defending Limited Sportsman champion, who moved up to the SK Light ranks this year. Barry continues his string of top 3 finishes and remains the points leader.

The Valenti Modified Racing Series also saw action at The Speedbowl, taking to the paved banks for 100 laps of feature racing. Ted Christopher led 92 of 100 laps, but it was the last 2 that made the difference. Christopher was dominant for almost the entire race, but Chris Pasteryak drove by Christopher on lap 93 to take the lead, and seemed to be locked in for the win. That all changed when the field restarted for a green-white-checkered finish after a lap 98 caution. Christopher muscled his way around Pasteryak and into victory lane. Pasteryak finished 2nd, followed by Anthony Nocella, Dave Schneider, and Norm Wrenn.

In other action, Mike Lichty won the 50 lap ISMA feature. Lichty started 5th and was the leader by lap 15. It was Lichty’s 1st career ISMA win. The NEMA feature saw Seth Carlson take the win. Carlson started 4th and took the lead on lap 3, and led the rest of the way. In the NEMA Light division, it was Anthony Payne recording the victory. Payne took the lead from RJ Tufano on a lap 10 restart, and held off late race pressure from Anthony Nocella, to take down the win. Finally, in the Pro 4 Modified feature, Rob Richardi Jr. was the first across the line and claimed the victory and Doug Meservey Jr. was the Pro 4 Lite winner, which was run in the same feature.

NWAAS feature racing returns next Saturday, August 15th, with the Late Model division going extra distance for a 50 lap feature. Also, the Wicked Cool Midgets make their first and only appearance at the Speedbowl for a 20 lap feature, with the SK Modifieds running a normal 35 lap feature, and Legends, Limited Sportsman, and Mini Socks all competing in 25 lap features.
