BOBBY SANTOS III TO RACE AT SEEKONK IN RACING AGAINST BREAST CANCER
SEEKONK, MA- NASCAR Whelan Modified points leader Bobby Santos III, of
Franklin, MA has filed his entry to compete in Racing Against Breast Cancer at Seekonk
Speedway on October 2nd. Driving the Clyde Booth of Troutman, NC #61, Bobby will
compete in his 4th Seekonk Speedway event in a Super Modified at a track he admits to
struggling at as of late. “I am really excited about racing a super modified at Seekonk;
Seekonk Speedway is the track I first raced a Super Modified at in 2003”, said Bobby
by telephone on his way to Loudon, NH last week. That “rookie” experience ended with
Bobby winning the Consi, and a 5th place finish behind race winner Bentley Warren,
Randy Ritskes, Pat Abold & Chris Perley. Bobby will be doing double driving duty as
he is also competing at Stafford Springs that weekend in the Whelan Modified Tour. (more…)

Clint Bowyer’s No. 33 Chevrolet spun in a cloud of smoke as Bowyer celebrated Sunday’s victory in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
In the same frame, Tony Stewart’s No. 14 Chevy coasted slowly across the finish line, out of fuel and out of the running for a race win that had seemed a distinct possibility barely more than a lap earlier.
Bowyer, the last driver to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, and Stewart both gambled on fuel after pitting for the last time on Lap 208 of 300 at the 1.058-mile racetrack.

BY MARK McKEON

The 18 year old nursing student at Southern Connecticut State University had to withstand a pair of restarts and a determined challenge from points leader Seth Carlson, who pulled alongside on multiple occasions, but couldn’t complete the pass.
“I was a little nervous on the second restart because I knew Seth would be right behind me and he’s tough, but I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to let him get by me,” a smiling Galko said in victory lane.
