Seymours Seek Sweep with Nocella at DAV

By admin October 4, 2010 NEMA, NEMA Lites, Seekonk

Brockton, MA — The Seymour operation will be after a “Seekonk Speedway Sweep” this weekend when the Northeastern Midget Association makes its traditional stop at the D.Anthony Venditti Memorial. Anthony Nocella will be in the Seymour 4 that prevailed earlier this season with Lou Cicconi (Open Wheel Wednesday) and Jeff Abold (“The Louie”).

“We owe him this opportunity,” said Bobby Seymour of Nocella who has been very successful driving Seymour equipment in NEMA Lites action. “He has earned this ride.” Nocella, in the Seymour 29, won the Lites portion of last year’s DAV and this year’s “The Louie.”

While the #29 Lites seat is still unfilled, Seymour did confirm that Whip City Quad-4 champion Joe Krawiec will in the #23 Lites car.

The championship battle takes center stage. Two-time defending champions Randy Cabral and owner Tim Bertrand are 22-points behind leaders Russ Stoehr and the Dumo’s Desire team. Cabral has a pair of seconds at Seekonk this year. Stoehr, the Angelillo Memorial winner at Waterford Speedbowl, has been third and fifth on the ancient third mile.

Cicconi and Abold will be on hand, Abold in the #29, a joint Abold-Seymour effort and Cicconi in the Bertrand #39. The latter is powered by a “spec” Esslinger engine that NEMA officials will be watching closely.

Greg Stoehr, Chris deRitis and defending DAV champ Adam Cantor, the latter two winners this year, will continue their battle for the third spot in the standings. Among the other contenders are Erica Santos, coming off a second at the Angelillo race, Chris Leonard, also a winner this year, Mike Horn, third at Seekonk’s Open Wheel Wednesday, and Aaron Wall, always strong at Seekonk.

John Zych Jr., Barry Kittredge, Jimmy Miller and Matt O’Brien look for strong DAV finishes as well.

Krawiec joins a strong Lites field that includes a number of Whip City graduates including Bethany Viets, one of eight winners in Lites action his year. In addition to Nocella, Jim Santa Maria, Jesse State, Todd Bertrand, Paul Luggelle, Eddie LeClerc, Jr., and Randy Cabral have won.
