SERIES
TITLE RUN TURNS INTO FOUR WAY BATTLE FOR WATERFORD
SATURDAY MODIFIED
RACING SERIES |
With
only five races remaining on the 2010 schedule, the
Modified Racing Series, sponsored by Bob Valenti
AutoMall.com, returns to the Waterford, CT.,
Speedbowl Saturday night, September 4, with one of
the hottest battles for the series championship in
the seven year existence of the tour. Engine issues
for the point leader, an off night for the series
defending champion, a dedicated car-owner and hard
working pit crew, a well deserved win fought by one
of the series young stars, last week at Thompson,
CT., has created a log jam at the top of the
standings. Dwight Jarvis, Ascutney, VT., suffered
engine problems during practice at Thompson forcing
the point leader and former series champion out of
the event....Full

NEWS & NOTES: LANGLEY
NASCAR WHELEN SOUTHERN MODIFIED TOUR |
For
the third consecutive race, there has been a change
atop the leaderboard for the points championship.
After suffering a blown motor at Bristol Motor
Speedway, L.W. Miller (No. 36 John Baker Plumbing &
Utilities Pontiac) rebounded to take the lead after
finishing second to Andy Seuss this past Saturday at
Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, N.C. James Civali (No.
79 Hill Enterprises/Coors Light/LeBleu Water Dodge)
finished with a solid top-10 run, but still fell to
third when a new name surfaced in the battle for the
top spot in the overall points standings. Andy Seuss
(No. 47 Q Racing Oil/Rockingham Boats/MUA Dodge)
used his second wire-to-wire win of the season to
move into second place. Seuss, who finished second
to eventual champion George Brunnhoelzl III last
season, is poised for the final stretch run of the
2010 season....Full

THECHROMEHORN.com |
The
Modified Racing Series (MRS) returned to Thompson
International Speedway on Thursday August 26th for
racing that was hotter then the end of summer. There
were thirty-three modified race teams that showed up
to compete for the win. The caliber of the field
included modified champions such as Mike Stefanik,
Ted Christopher, Dwight Jarvis, Ron Silk and Keith
Rocco. Lady Luck though was not very kind to some of
the key competitors as one after the other developed
engine problems and were eliminated from the
starting field during practice. Among them were:
Jack Bateman, Dwight Jarvis, Ron Silk, and Louie
Mechalides. When the green flag flew seven time
modified champion Mike Stefanik charged to the front
to take the lead. B....Full

SEUSS
GOES FLAG-TO-FLAG FOR CARAWAY WIN
NASCAR WHELEN SOUTHERN MODIFIED TOUR |
For
the second time this season Andy Seuss led
flag-to-flag in NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour
competition at Caraway
Speedway - this time winning the Triad Commercial
Property Services 150 on Saturday night. Seuss held
off numerous challenges from L.W. Miller, who he
also had to fend off in similar fashion for his win
in March, to take his eighth career tour win and
fourth tour victory at the .455-mile track in
Asheboro, N.C. A late-race caution following contact
between the two leaders, set up a late restart in
which Seuss, once again, had to fend off Miller for
the win. John Smith followed Seuss and Miller across
the line for third. Burt Myers was fourth, with 2009
champion George Brunnhoelzl III in fifth....Full

WORKING THROUGH SOME THINGS
by Rev. Don Rivers
RACING WITH JESUS MINISTRIES |
Life,
like racing, is full of ups and downs. Sometimes it
feels like we are on a roller coaster and we just
want the ride to stop. We are looking for that one
thing that will satisfy us, make our life complete,
but is always eludes our grasp. There is a solution
to filling that need for satisfaction and
fulfillment. Greetings in the name of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. You head to the track full of
anticipation. You worked all week on the car and you
know it is right. Your expectation is for a great
race and a win. You unload and your practice times
are among the fastest. Your excitement builds. You
qualify on the pole and take the green flag first.
Then it happens, they call it racing. It is the
reason we run the race....Full
