Yuhas In Midget At Bowl’s Finale
Ron Yuhas Jr., one of the Waterford Speedbowl’s most accomplished drivers, will be driving Chuck Camosse’s Esslinger-powered #11 in Northeastern Midget Association action at this week’s Finale.
NEMA will qualify on Saturday. The 25-lap feature will be part of Sunday’s busy program. Yuhas, who has won in both SK-Modified and Late Model competition this summer, is a definite contender in the 100-lap SK feature.
Yuhas’ knowledge of the track (19 career wins), ability to handle speed and experience in Quarter Midget racing were all factors in securing the ride. Mark Irving and veteran Howie Bumpus drove the car earlier this year.
The Speedbowl is generally regarded as the top midget track in the east and Yuhas has been watching them for many years. He has been actively seeking a Midget ride for the past couple of years.
“NEMA is really excited for Ron,” said Vice President Tim Bertrand, a one-time Quarter Midget competitor and fellow Bryant College Alum.
