McKennedy Christens New Car with Victory at Waterford

Waterford, CT—Defending series champion, Jon McKennedy of East Chelmsford, MA., scored his second win of the season Saturday night, September 4, at the Waterford CT. Speedbowl, winning the 100-lap Modified Racing Series feature event sponsored by BobValentiAutomall.com.

McKennedy’s ninth with the New England based racing series came behind the wheel of a brand new RaceWorks chassis race car completed late Friday night.

“I need to give a special thanks to Eddie Flemke Jr and Reggie Ruggerio. They worked pretty hard to get this chassis done for me, I want to thank my crew, it’s been a long week, 15-16 hours in the garage everyday. We finished it up last night but it all paid off. To come here and win at a track we struggled at, it feels good. Hats off to the crew. The car was good, I drove it like I stole it,” said the 2009 champion.
