While New England focused on “Hurricane Bill,” True Value Modified Racing

night, August 22, as defending series champion Chris Pasteryak, Lisbon, CT;
wheeled the Dawley’s Collision and Custom #15CT modified to victory winning
the “Del’s Lemonade 100,” at the Seekonk Speedway, Seekonk, MA.

It was also his third career win with New England’s premier modified racing
series.
Pasteryak went by pole sitter and series point leader Jon
McKennedy. Chelmsford, MA; on the third lap, setting the pace until lap 12,
when his uncle Carl Pasteryak, Lisbon, took over the top spot. With his
nephew in tow, Carl set a torrid pace until lap 44 when the first caution
flag was surprisingly displayed for, the race leader. “Uncle” Carl spun into
the infield leaving his nephew the lead
When the race resumed, Chris Pasteryak became the class of the
field leading the rest of the way to score the win. The victory was not easy
for the newly married driver. Pasteryak was pressured by McKennedy from lap
45 through 52, and then by Les Hinckley, Windsor Locks, CT; laps 53 to 100.
Hinckley made several attempts to take over the lead often pulling right up
to the leader and alongside but the 2008 title holder was equal to the task
Hinckley’s crowd pleasing effort produced a strong finish. He
fought off the challenges of Mike Holdridge, Madison, CT; and then Rowan
Pennink, Huntingdon Valley, PA.; down to the final lap. Holdridge settled
for fourth, with Steven Masse, Bellingham. MA; turning in a solid run
rounding out the top five.
Sixth though tenth were, Dwight Jarvis, Ascutney, VT; Jack Bateman,
Canaan, NH; Kevin Iannarelli, Maynard, MA; Dave Berghman, Rehoboth, MA; and
Mike Douglas Jr. Auburn, NH.
