NETS Returns to Speedbowl this Saturday
The New England Truck Series returns to action Saturday night at the historic Waterford Speedbowl in Waterford, CT. NETS has been the fastest growing racing series in the northeast, with car counts averaging nearly double 2013’s numbers. With the increase in trucks has come an increase in competition – five winners in five race events so far this season. Twenty-four different competitors have taken the green in those five races, with 18 of them scoring a least one top 10 so far in 2014.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is who hasn’t visited victory lane so far in 2014. Defending series champion Duane Noll leads the points standings by 3 over Andy Lindeman, but has yet to take a checkered flag home. Former champion Chris Correll came close in the last event at Waterford, but finished second to another former champion, Allen Coates. Bert Ouellette, Mike Parker, and rookie Tyler Chapman have also looked strong this season but have yet to put notches in the win column.

Doug Coby Looking Forward to NAPA Auto Parts SK 5k at Stafford Speedway
(Stafford Springs, CT)—Over the last three seasons at Stafford Motor Speedway, Doug Coby has had a stranglehold on victory lane in NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour competition. Coby has won half of the 10 NWMT races run at Stafford since the start of the 2012 season, but he hasn’t been able to win an SK Modified® feature at Stafford since reuniting with car owner Glenn Johnson. Coby recorded six podium finishes last season with 3 second and 3 third place efforts, but he came up short in the win column. Coby is again knocking on the door to NAPA Victory Lane this season and he feels like a win could be right around the corner for the #15 team.
