ENTRIES FROM
ALL AROUND COME IN FOR NEW ENGLAND SHORT TRACK SHOWDOWN VMRS
RACE
Many Accomplished Modified Drivers Will Race on July 1st at
NHMS |
 The
Modified portion of the New England Short Track
Showdown presented by ARBodies at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway on July 1st is a points race for the
Valenti Modified Racing Series. However, an early
peek at the entry list for the event, which is up to
nearly 30 competitors so far, shows that the race
winner could come from one of many branches in the
Modified racing family tree.
Drivers representing Northern New England, Southern
New England, Pennsylvania, Long Island and even the
South are entered in the event. Several different
Modified tours and tracks may be the regular homes
for these drivers, but they are all going to be
attracted to the VMRS when the Showdown takes place.
VMRS point leader Anthony Nocella, the winner of the
last three events on the VMRS schedule, is the
driver who everyone will be chasing. VMRS regulars
Michael Willis, Colbey Fournier, Jeff Gallup, Rob
Richardi and Richard Savary will be right there as
well.
Nocella and company will have some big dogs in their
mirror too.
Those other competitors include former NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour champion Ted Christopher, multi-time
Modified champion Woody Pitkat, five-time PASS
Modified champion Andy Shaw, Tri-Track Modified and
VMRS feature race winner Stephen Masse, Long Island
NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour regular and former race
winner Eric Goodale, Connecticut short track
standout Jeff Rocco, PASS Modified standout Bill
Dixon, multi-time Pro Four Modified feature race
winner Dan Meservey, Jr., Granite State Pro Stock
Series race winner Donnie Lashua, ARCA Racing Series
and former NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour
competitor Bryan Dauzat and Pennsylvania's Zane
Zeiner.
