Doug Coby Finishes Second in Seekonk 150

Mayhew Tools No. 7NY on the podium in Massachusetts

SEEKONK, Mass. – After a solid day at the track, Doug Coby and the Mayhew Tools, Tommy Baldwin Racing team finished second on Saturday night at Seekonk Speedway. Coby qualified the car in fourth spot and fell back a bit in the early laps, but worked the outside lane back to the runner-up spot quickly and ran there for the remainder of the laps in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour’s return to the Action Track of the East.

Coby and Ron Silk raced hard for second late in the race, then three-time champion Justin Bonsignore joined the battle on the final restart. Coby was able to hold off both of them to come away with a second-place finish. He tried to chase down eventual winner Matt Hirschman for most of the race.

“He (Hirschman) was slowing down in the traffic some, but he could pick it up whenever he wanted to do that,” Coby said. “We were in no danger of going a lap down and on a day like today where most of the field did go down a lap (all but five cars at the finish), that’s a good day. The Mayhew Tools team worked hard and we came away with a good finish.”

Doug Coby and the Tommy Baldwin Racing team will be on track next at Riverhead Raceway with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour on June 24. For more information on Doug Coby, visit DougCobyRacing.com and follow his page on Facebook for the latest news and updates, including from the track on race day.
