SEEKONK SET
TO HOST
VALENTI MODIFIED RACING SERIES SATURDAY |
 With
only one qualifying heat race contested over two
weeks ago, and rain forcing cancellation of that
program at Thompson (CT) Speedway, Valenti Modified
Racing Series drivers are eager to race this weekend
at the famed Seekonk (MA) Speedway, the next stop on
the 10th Anniversary tour.
The series last completed race was run April 20.
This Saturday’s race program will feature a 100-lap
green flag event for the open-wheel modifieds.
The series top five point men are slated to compete.
Rowan Pennink of Huntingdon Valley, PA, has a
10-point lead over Louie Mechalides, of Tyngsboro,
MA, heading to Seekonk. Pennink has a victory at
Seekonk while Mechalides is a two-time winner.
Tied for third in the standings is Steven Masse, of
Bellingham. MA, and Mike Holdridge, of Madison, CT.
Masse is still seeking that first “Cement Palace”
win while Holdridge has a 2011 victory to his
credit.
Tommy Barrett Jr, of Millis, MA, is fifth only six
points behind.
Local driver Todd Annarummo, of Swansea, MA, will
enter the June 8 event.
Rookie Dylan Kopec, of Palmer, MA, is an expected
entry as is two-time champion Chris Pasteryak, of
Lisbon, CT.
VMRS practice starts at 3:30 PM with qualifying
races at 6:00 PM. |
