Norm Wrenn Captures Fourth Win of the Season at Stafford
Stafford Springs, CT – July 6, 2010 – With 17 cars on hand, the RF Logic/Bot-L Gas Pro Four Modifieds of New England were the opening act for Stafford Motor Speedway’s Carquest Extreme Tuesday Event. Adam Norton and Norm Wrenn took the checkers in their respected heat races.
Phil Lauiser brought the field to the green on the initial start of the feature, but it wasn’t long before Rob Richardi, Jr. was able to make the pass for the lead. By lap two 11th place starter, George Sherman, was up to 5th place while Adam Norton and Tyler Anderson were also on the move through the pack.
Dave Richardi, #00, had problems on lap 5, as he fell through the field to the back of the pack. On lap 7, he and #11a of Danny Meservey, Sr. spun and Richardi made contact with the wall, drawing the first caution of the night.
Richardi, Jr., and Norton held the front row on the restart, followed by Sherman and Lausier. Norton was able to get under Richardi, Jr., for the lead on the restart, and Brian Vincent and Wrenn followed through. At this point, the pack sorted out single file until Wrenn and Richardi, Jr. teamed up to pass Vincent on the low side but Vincent was able to hang strong on the outside.
The second Caution of the evening was drawn at lap 12 when Lausier spun. At the restart, Norton lead Wrenn, Vincent, Richardi, Jr., and Sherman. On the start #83 Frank Perry was unble to get up to speed and another caution was thrown. With another try, the field was once again under green as the top four cars held a tight pack around the track. Two laps later, Dave Richardi made contact with the wall one more time bringing out another caution. This time on the restart it was Wrenn who captured the lead, and held that position of the remainder of the race. He was followed by Norton, Anderson, Vincent, and Sherman.
