Waterford Speedbowl Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday 8/3 Results

Garbo, Ternullo, Brouwer and Voglesong take down repeat wins on season

Waterford, CT (August 3, 2011) – Wild ‘n Wacky action returned to the
Speedbowl Wednesday evening, dodging raindrops from Mother Nature and
putting five winners in Victory Lane. Scoring wins on the night included
Dave Garbo Jr. of Stonington in the Legends Cars, Joey Ternullo of
Middletown won his fourth Bandolero feature on the year, John Brouwer Jr.
of Groton took his second win in Super X-Car action and Brad Voglesong of
Middletown won a special entertaining extra-distance X-Car feature.
Taking home the crown as king of the Musical Car Wacky Race was Dan Moon
of Exeter, RI.


The 20-lap Legends Cars feature saw past track champion Jason Palmer move
into the race lead past Carl Blandina on lap-1. Palmer led by nearly a
full straightaway length by the time a caution flag was finally displayed
on lap-10. Prior to the caution the action behind Palmer was very
entertaining as a pack of cars raced for the top-five positions.
Blandina, Troy Talman, Angelo Belsito and Ed Field were the early leaders
but Dana Dimatteo, Joey Mucciacciaro and Garbo were all in hot pursuit.
By the time the caution was displayed for Nick Lascuola at halfway,
Dimatteo was in second, Garbo third, and Mucciacciaro fourth.

Garbo was on a mission when racing resumed. He raced from third place
past the inside of Dimatteo then jumped to Palmer’s outside on lap-11.
Dimatteo tried to assert himself under Garbo in turn one on lap-12,
however got loose and had to gather his car back up. That left Garbo all
alone to power outside Palmer for the race lead. Garbo drove around the
leader, moving ahead until a caution flag waved on lap-14.

Garbo survived the lap-14 restart, then another on lap-18 to go on
unchallenged to his third win in the past four weeks. Palmer got loose
coming to green on the final restart, allowing Dimatteo to scoot by into
second at the finish. Palmer was third, Mucciacciaro fourth and Dylan
Izzo was fifth.


The Bandolero feature was intense from the start as Ternullo rocketed out
to the race lead, but before a lap could be completed several cars came
together exiting turn four including pole-sitter Andrew Molleur, bringing
out caution. The field raced tight again until lap-3 when a multi-car
accident in turn one started when Derek Debbis spun with Corey Comeroski,
collecting Jacob Urch and returning the race under yellow.

Ternullo looked strong when the green flag was shown back over the field,
moving out to a healthy lead over a competitive battle for second position
was waged among Cory Dimatteo, Ken Morin Jr., Jordan Lamothe, Rachel Forte
and defending champion Taylor Martin. That packed swapped positions
multiple times as Ternullo was comfortably ahead in the lead. Dimatteo
lost control out of turn two on lap-14, spinning from fourth position to
draw the race’s third caution.

Ternullo had company on the restart in the form of Morin and Lamothe.
Those two stayed with Ternullo the remainder of the way, swapping second
position over the final lap three times. Ternullo took his fourth
checkered flag on the season, while Morin was awarded second position
after technical inspection dropped Lamothe from the position. Points
leader Rachel Forte was credited with third ahead of Dimatteo, who
rebounded from his mid-race spin, and Martin.


In the 20-lapper for the Super X-Car division, the opening 11 laps were
run uninterrupted before a yellow flag finally slowed the pace. During
that span, Brouwer raced to the lead on lap-2 and sat ahead of a battle
for second place between several drivers. Frank Alessio eventually took
over the spot while Mark Boisvert and Robert Norman were locked in a duel
for third.

Following the lap-11 caution period, Brouwer got a good restart to resume
his lead. Alessio took up his pursuit from second position while Peter
Pollard joined the battle for third with Boisvert and Norman. That battle
ended in a heap on the back chute when Alessio and Pollard made contact,
spinning off turn two and collecting Mike Maskell on lap-18.

Brouwer looked like a veteran on the race’s final restart, going on to
capture his second win on the season in a part-time role serving as a
relief driver. Norman took second over Boisvert at the checkered flag.
Bill Reiman and Ken Cassidy Sr. rounded out the top-five.


The special 30-lap X-Car feature got started with a bang in turns three
and four on the opening lap when Jeremy Bourbeau got crossed up,
collecting several competitors including points leader Randy Johnston.
Todd Nadeau was the early leader once the field settled in for some
racing. Nadeau gave way to Scott Limkemann on lap-5, who used an inside
move down the back chute to take command.

Mike Trask and Voglesong both made their way by Nadeau as well, who
slipped back to Pete Zaikarite who challenged Nadeau for fourth. Those
two got together exiting turn four on lap-9 creating a wild moment as
Nadeau’s car became airborne over Zaikarite, drawing the yellow flag and
sending both to the pits for repair.

The middle of the race featured exciting racing at the front of the field
as Limkemann and Voglesong putting on an entertaining duel at the front.
For several laps they ran in close quarters, with Voglesong holding the
lead by a nose. He powered down the straightaways ahead of Limkemann, who
rallied back with the handles through the corner. Behind them Johnston
was back on the attack, recovering from his early race woes to race with
Dan D’addario in a battle for third. Ahead, Voglesong finally took sole
possession of the lead on lap-25. One lap later chaos broke out behind
the leader as a three-wide battle between Limkemann, Johnston and Patrick
Williams ended with Limkemann spinning and collecting Williams, D’addario
and Onie Pierce. All made hard contact into the wall to bring out caution
and end their great runs.

Following the cleanup from the wreck, Voglesong raced back into the lead.
He raced the top groove of the track to his veteran ability, allowing
Johnston room to look on the low side over the final laps. Voglesong
again had the power down the straightaways while Johnston challenged
through the corners underneath the leader. Over the final lap Johnston
made a valiant final effort, which came up a half-car short at the finish.
Voglesong took his third win on the season ahead of Johnston, Trask,
Zaikarite and Chris Garside.


The Wacky Race on the evening was a Musicar Race by the Super X-Car
competitors, with Moon coming out on top of a final showdown with Kristie
Hamel in the battle for the final cone left on the track. Although Hamel
had the crowd’s support, Moon was able to race his way into position
first.
