Waterford, CT — The Faster Pastor Race, a 20-lap battle for area clergy, helps bring Waterford Speedbowl’s Saturday night season to a close this week. The pastors join the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series cars plus the Wild n’ Wacky Wednesday X-Cars on the docket.
It will be the third year for Faster Pastor event, a 20 lapper in X Cars. A cooperative effort between the Bowl and the area churches, it has become a ‘special’ event.
Thompson, CT — The completion of the Sunoco Modified Mania Program has been set for Sunday, September 23rd. Rain forced track officials to look for a date that was compatible for all concerned. Following lengthy discussions the day after the rain out, the new race day was set to be the afternoon of Sunday, September 23rd.
Four of the six-divisions in competition for Sunoco Modified Mania were able to complete their events. But, shortly after the True Value Modifieds hit the track, the skies opened, the rains came and everything was brought to a stop. That left the True Value Modifieds and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour ducking for cover and looking for a date to complete their portion of the Sunoco Modified Mania program.
Grandstands will open at 11:30 AM on Sunday, September 23rd. Racecars from these two divisions will be allowed to practice until 2 PM. The True Value Modified feature event will pick up with two laps complete at 2:15 PM and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will run their entire 150-lap main event at about 3:30 PM.
