MASSE WINS
VMRS SEASON FINALE AT THOMPSON |
 24-year
old Steve Masse of Bellingham, Mass, wired the field
Saturday night, besting a field of 31 other drivers
to capture his second win of 2014, his ninth career
Valenti Modified Racing Series victory, and his
first at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park,
Thompson, Connecticut.
Another first occurred when Justin Bonsignore, of
Holtsville, New York, nabbed his VMRS championship
for car-owner Art Barry of Preston, CT. The title is
Barry’s second with the series.
The event, the 17th and final race of the season,
was part of the 52nd annual Sunoco World Series of
Speedway Racing presented by Xtra Mart.
Masse led the entire 75-lap race from his pole
starting position. Woody Pitkat, of Stafford, CT,
Richard Savary, of Canton, MA, and Keith Rocco, of
Wallingford, CT, gave chase but Masse was in command
throughout the race.
Pitkat finished runner-up, Rocco, third, Savary
fourth, and Rowan Pennink, of Huntingdon Valley, PA,
rounded out the top five.
Ted Christopher, David Schneider, Eric Goodale, Mike
Willis Jr, and Dylan Kopec, finished sixth through
tenth.
The final race of the season saw 32-teams compete
with all entries starting the feature race. Six
caution flags slowed the main event completed in 57
minutes.
