The entries are piling up for the Bullring Bash Quarter Mile Challenge presented by RaceChoice. More and more racers from across the Northeast have sent in their entry for Sunday\u2019s opener at White Mountain Motorsports Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Legends driver who will be there is Joe Marfeo. Marfeo hails from Exeter, Rhode Island. He\u2019ll be driving the No. 712 A1 Waste Disposal and Sons\/Mikey\u2019s Motorsports INEX this Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Marfeo first learned about the event from a friend. That got him interested in driving in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy buddy told me about it,\u201d Marfeo said. \u201cMy father and his father are good friends. They both love racing. I wanted to do it, so now we\u2019re heading up there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite having some success in Legends cars in the past, Marfeo had to step away from the race car for the past season. But he\u2019s ready to return with force this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI used to race every weekend at Seekonk Speedway, and the last year, from work and everything, I didn\u2019t race as much. Coming into this season, we heard about this race, and even though I haven\u2019t raced in a while, I think we will be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the long absence from racing, Marfeo isn\u2019t going into Sunday\u2019s event with the expectation that he\u2019ll be standing in Victory Lane when things are said and done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMe personally, top-10\u2019s my goal,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I get top-five, that\u2019s great. I\u2019m not trying to go there just for the win. It\u2019s more experience and just having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Legends race is sandwiched between the second and third segments of the 125-lap Modified event, Marfeo hopes a large crowd will be on hand to see what he expects to be a thrilling battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsually, when there\u2019s big races like this with a big crowd, people usually love the Legends cars,\u201d Marfeo said. \u201cMost people don\u2019t understand how fast they are. I know Legend cars are really quick. I know when they first sit, they want to keep watching us race… I hope the fans are gonna appreciate it. It\u2019s going to be a fun race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know there\u2019s going to be good competition. It\u2019s a big race. It\u2019s going to be a tight fun race. We\u2019ll see how it unfolds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should the race be a success for Marfeo, he wants to come back for the other two Bullring Bash events later on in the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
