\nFlannery overwhelms Late Model field

WATERFORD \u2014The night started with a Peter Bennett Legends victory sand ended with a Bennett victory.
\nIn between the Bennett bookends, however, it was a breath-taking night at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl. It featured flying and flipping race cars, come-from-behind finishes, dominant performances and overpowering passing.<\/p>\n

When the Saturday show came to an end a few minutes before the clock struck midnight, Bennett secured a pair of Legends victories, expanding his point lead to 48 over Scott Limkemann.
\nKyle James blurred around Todd Owen on the final lap to win his eighth 40-lap SK Modified win of the season.
\nJonathan Puleo dazzled his way underneath Wayne Burroughs with two laps to go to win the SK Lite Modified feature and tie Burroughs for the point lead.
\nAnthony Flannery roared past Jason Palmer during the second half of the Late Model feature to take down his fifth win in the last six races and grab a three-point lead over Palmer.
\nCharles Canfield fire-crackered his way around Ian Brew with 19 laps to go to win the Mini-Stock feature. Jordan Hadley ran and hid from the field to win his second 30-lap Sportsman race of the year and Duane Noll slipped around Jeff Karns midway through the race to win his fifth Speedbowl Truck win of the year.
\nPerhaps the most impressive move was pulled off by James in the 40-lap SK Modified feature,
\nAfter Owen took the lead from Tim Jordan, James moved into second and spent 15 laps trying to make dive-bomb move ion the inside. They didn\u2019t work. On the final lap, however. James changed his strategy, went to the outside and whisked past Owen. Hr won by 0.049 seconds.
\n\u201cThis one wasn\u2019t easy,\u201d James said. \u201cTodd gave us plenty of room to the outside and we got the lead. \u201cThis sport can be a lot of fun when you can trust the person you\u2019re competing against.\u201d
\nThe SK Lite race was just as exciting. Burroughs appeared headed toward his third win as he took the lead early, but Puleo made a blockbuster move in turn 3 with two laps to go to grab the lead for keeps. It was his fifth 25-lap win of the season.
\n\u201cI knew I would have to try something that I normally wouldn\u2019t try,: Puleo said. \u201cI knew were faster, so I just drove it into the turn hard. It\u2019s my dad\u2019s birthday tonight and this is definitely the best present I could give him.\u201d
\n\u201cOn the long runs, Jonathan just beat us up,\u201d Burroughs said. \u201cI can\u2019t fault him for how he raced me. He just moved me out of the way.\u201d
\nEarly in the race, the car driven by John Bergenty went airborne on the backstretch, climbing over the wall. He hit the catch-fence and spun at least three times before landing about 300 feet away. Bergenty was uninjured after the spectacular crash.
\nCharles Canfield used some firepower in the outside groove to boogey past Brew late in the race to grab a win that even impressed Canfield.
\n\u201dEveryone knows I prefer the outside groove, but tonight the car was phenomenal,\u201d Canfield said. \u201cThis was the best cat I\u2019ve every had at this track. I couldn\u2019t ask for more.\u201d
\nDoug Curry rallied to finish second after being plagued by throttle problems.
\n\u201cWe gave it the best we had, despite our problems,\u201d Curry said.
\nThe Sportsman race was much more one-sided \u2014 a win by Haddly by a huge margin.
\nThis feels so good,\u201d Hadley said. \u201cThis car has been so bad I was thinking about retirement. That\u2019s why this feels do good.\u201d
\nPoint leader Shawn Gaedeke finished third and stretched his lead to 32 points over Jason Chicolas.
\nFlannery was feeling good in the Late Models as he surged away from Palmer, who was close to Flannery in the beginning of the race but was no match at the end. . Flanney was able to move into the point lead by three over Palmer.
\n\u201c\u201dWe\u2019re doing our homework and doing what we need to di,: Flannery said. \u201cWe have a really good car. It\u2019s awesome to win all these races.
\nNoll made an awesome move around Karns on lap 25 to win the 25-lap Truck race.
\n\u201cThis truck was flawless,\u201d Noll said. \u201cThere was no beating and banging up front, and that\u2019s what makes it easier. We made a slight adjustment before the racer and the truck was great.\u201d
\nIn the first of two 20-lap Legends feature, there was chaos late in the race when a caution flag was thrown for the car of Nikki Vicariolli, who was stranded on the top of the track entering the third turn. During the yellow flag, Mike Blaskey made contact with Vicarioli\u2019s car, sending him straight in the air, going end over end. Blaskey was not seriously injured, but Corey Caddick, who was the leader of the race, was penalized for making contact with Blaskey and sending him into Vicarioli\u2019s car.
\nBennett took control on the restart and went to the front ahead of Kyle Rogers, who was second.
\n\u201cWhen the cars are lined up two-by-two, it\u2019s hard tio get to the front,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cYou have to be patient. And I think we were tonight.\u201d
\nHe was just as patient as he also prevailed in the second race. Brandon Martinez was second.
\n\u201cOur goal was to come here and win two races tonight,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cThat made it a tough day and a long day. I\u2019m just glad it\u2019s over.\u201d
\nThe night may be over, but he\u2019ll remember his doubleheader sweep for a long time to come.
