New London Waterford Speedbowl 5-15

May 16, 2021 | Connecticut, Waterford Speedbowl

WATERFORD — Joe Gada didn’t know how good his car was at the start of Saturday’s SK Modified feature at the New London Speedbowl.
“We made a bunch of changes to the car, and we were struggling in the heat race,” Gada said. “We were having trouble with the oil pressure.”
Once the 35-lap race started, however, the pressure was on everyone else.
Gada, working on the outside groove, was able to vapor trail past leader Mike Christopher Jr. late in the race and stay in control to post his first win of the season and the fifth SK race of his career.
In other action, Jason Palmer and Ken Cassidy Jr. each achieved milestone wins. Palmer pulled it off in the 30-lap Late Model and Cassidy came through in the 25-lap Speedbowl Trucks race.
