Skias Guest In Bertrand Lites Car
Brockton, MA – Tim Bertrand calls Pennsylvania Mini Sprint legend Pete Skias “an old fashioned, follow-the-action racer. He’s the kind of racer who comes to the front no matter where you start him.”
Skias, a veteran dirt tracker, will try the asphalt this weekend when he drives Bertrand’s No. 48 in the Northeastern Midget Association 20-lap “Lites” feature at Seekonk Speedway’s DA Memorial.. “It has long been his goal to drive a midget on asphalt,” continues Bertrand.
Seekonk has become “home ground” for the “Lites,” series, now in its second season. Nationally known in Mini Stock ranks, Skias, a long-time friend of the Bertrand family, will find some sterling competition.
Jake Stergios, Anthony Nocella and Anthony “Bug” Marvuglio, all Seekonk winners this season, head up the list. Other hopefuls include Russ Wood Jr., coming in off a well-earned victory at Twin State Speedway, Rick Hart and Paul Luggelle.
“We’re excited and happy to do this,” continued Bertrand. “We’re convinced Pete will provide plenty of excitement.”
The Bertrand team has brought a number of guest drivers to NEMA this season including Ryan Newman, Cole Carter and Ted Christopher.
