Louie Mechalides picks up VMRS win at Seekonk. DeGasparre, Bruneau and Paiva celebrate with victories

seekonkLouie Mechalides picked up his third career Valenti Modified Racing Series win Saturday at Seekonk, holding off some late race charges from Tommy Barrett and Dwight Jarvis. Todd Annarummo jumped out to the lead from his pole position start, and set the pace for the first half of the race. Todd had his hands full, as Stephen Masse made his way through the field from his 11th starting position.
