Lites Honors to Ryan Bigelow

By admin March 31, 2012 NEMA Lites, New London-Waterford

Waterford, CT – Taking the lead on the second of two early cautions, Ryan Bigelow went on to win the 25-lap Northeast Midget Association’s Lites feature Saturday night at Waterford Speedbowl’s Budweiser Blast Off. It was the season opener for the Lites, celebrating their fifth season

Ian Cumens and Joey Payne filled out the podium in Seymour cars. Randy Cabral and Kenny Johnson were fourth and fifth.

Starting midfield, Bigelow sat third when the second yellow flew. Following leader Christian Briggs into second on the restart, Bigelow took command heading down the backstretch. Bigelow faced a third restart with 18 to go (beating Briggs) and a late threat by Cumens before claiming his second career win.

Cumens grabbed second when Briggs dropped out shortly before the halfway point. He quickly chased down Bigelow and had his nose inside the leader’s car in the middle of one and two with three laps remaining. Bigelow recovered to win by two car lengths.

Payne, subbing for Anthony Nocella (who was driving a modified) came on strong in the late stages.
