VALENTI MODIFIED
SERIES SET TO INVADE
BEECH RIDGE SATURDAY |
|
After
an unexpected week off thanks to Mother Nature, the Valenti Modified Racing
Series returns to the State of Maine, and the famed Beech Ridge Motor
Speedway, in Scarboro, Saturday night, August 6, when the open-wheel, 600
horse-powered modifieds, compete in a 100 lap green-flag event.
Saturday’s event will be the Series fifth appearance at the historic
speedway. To date, five different drivers have visited victory lane, at “The
Ridge.”
Eight different drivers have visited victory lane in 2011 on the VMRS
circuit. Several winners this season and current top point men are expected
as the series heads into a busy month of August.
Oxford Plains winner Joe Doucette, Framingham,MA., will try to become the
third driver to sweep both Maine races. Previously Kirk Alexander, of
Swanzey, NH., and defending series Champion, Jon McKennedy, Chelmsford, MA.,
an entry in this weekends race, have nabbed both races in the Pine Tree
State in the same season.
The two drivers topping the point standings, Chris Pasteryak of Lisbon, CT.,
and Les Hinckley III, of Windsor Locks, CT., have only
18 points separating them entering the Beech Ridge race.
Huntingdon Valley, PA., hotshoe Rowan Pennink , third in the point standings
is expected. Norm Wrenn, a veteran racer from Nashua, NH., is expected as is
two-time series winner, Rob Goodenough.
The defending race winner, Kenny Barry, Preston, CT., is slated to appear in
his brand new mount. Maine favorites, Jacob Dore, of Sanford, and Tony
Ricci, of Westbrook, both with lots of Beech Ridge experience, are expected
entries.
Max Zachem, of Preston, CT coming off a strong finish at Oxford Plains two
weeks ago, is another driver who knows the fast way around the 1/3 mile
speedplant.
Saturday’s race program starts at 6:00 PM More info is available at
