TRI TRACK
MODS WILL HONOR BOUCHARD THURSDAY
AT NEW LONDON-WATERFORD SPEEDBOWL |
The
NorthEast Race Cars and Parts Tri Track Open
Modified Series will honor the late Ron Bouchard on
Thursday night Aug. 25 at New London-Waterford
Speedbowl.
In a $10,000 to win, 100 lap feature event, some of
the top modified talent from across the Northeast
will battle for glory around the Speedbowl. It will
be the third ever Tri Track race held there – most
recently it was Woody Pitkat and the only other saw
Ron Silk visit victory lane.
Bouchard, who was a former winner of the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series Talladega 500, will be honored
pre-race. The ceremony was originally scheduled to
take place at Monadnock Speedway in early June, but
rain cancelled that event and the tribute has been
moved to the Speedbowl.
“Dick Williams had a long, storied history with Ron
Bouchard,” series promoter James Schaefer said. “He
has worked incredibly hard to make this tribute to
him a very special night. Other tracks have honored
Ronnie this season as well and we are honored as a
series to have this tribute as part of the Speedbowl
event.”
The list of talent scheduled to appear on Thursday
night includes stars of many modified touring series
from across the region. Drivers of the NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour, including most recent tour winner
Eric Goodale, have entered.
He is joined by Justin Bonsignore, driving for Art
Barry, and Rowan Pennink, driving for Gary Gasella.
Pitkat will hope to score again at the Speedbowl --
this time driving for Stebbins Racing -- while Ron
Silk will return to action in the No. 50.
Stars of the Valenti Modified Racing Series,
including Chris Pasteryak, will also compete.
Other names expected are Dwight Jarvis, Ted
Christopher, Keith Rocco, Les Hinckley, Anthony
Nocella, Richard Savary and many more.
An estimated 35 cars or more will roll into the
paddock area at the Speedbowl on Thursday hoping to
get the big trophy.
Honoring the late Mario Fiore, Tommy Barrett will
return to action behind the wheel of his No. 44,
with a tribute paint scheme to Fiore. Fans are asked
to get up on their feet on lap 44 and hold four
fingers up on each hand to honor Fiore during the
race.
Following Thursday's race, the final event of the
2016 season for the Tri Track Open Modified Series
will take place right back at Waterford as part of "Bemer's
Big Show," in October.
