Tim Jordan Shows Muscle in SK Modified® Throwdown; Andrew Molleur on Top in Late Model Photo Finish

WATERFORD – Paul Buzel launched at the drop of the green strong, leading the SK Modified® event for over 10 laps uncontested. Tim Jordan broke from his 6th place starting spot and light contact between the leaders opened the door for Jordan and Eric Berndt to put on a show. With Jordan controlling the preferred groove, Berndt did not let up on his attacks connecting nerf bars on several occasions. The two veterans kept their cars pointed in the right direction setting the pace, all while Anthony Flannery was dicing his way through the field from the last place starting spot. A pile up with 7 to go opened the door for Flannery to dive into 2nd over Berndt, neither driver could take down Jordan for the top spot.

Puleo ‘Blasts Off’ with First SK Modified® win; Jason Palmer Holds off Strong Late Model Competition

WATERFORD – Jon Puleo has limited starts in the SK Modified® ranks at the Speedbowl, but you would never know it the way he raced in the 35 lap Blast Off season opener. Puleo rocketed off to an early lead when Anthony Flannery didn’t get off to a good start. Joey Gada looked strong at the start giving Puleo a challenge before dropping back in the field, letting Tim Jordan dive into second. With ten laps in the books, Jordan would nail the restart and inch ahead of Puleo forcing a lead change. The two would trade positions throughout the course of the race with defending champion Todd Owen throwing his hat in the ring against Jordan. With 9 laps to go an incident on the front straight shuffled up the field, but that didn’t affect Puleo at all as he managed to hold off the 2018 champion. The win marked Puleo’s first in the headline division.
