Waterford, CT (May 28, 2014) \u2013 Waterford Speedbowl returned to action with
\nanother round of Wild \u2018n Wacky Wednesday racing. A first time winner
\njoined four returning faces to Victory Lane in an action packed night of
\nmotorsports. Leading the way was Michael Blaskey, who his first-ever
\ncheckered flag in the INEX Legend Cars division. Jon Porter won another
\nSuper X-Car race, Zac Thomas was the winner of the X-Car race and Anthony
\nMarvin claimed the INEX Bandolero feature. Chuck McDonald was king of
\nthe night\u2019s Wacky Race for the X-Cars.<\/p>\n
Blaskey put forth a memorable effort on track during the 25-lap INEX
\nLegend Cars feature to land what was a first-ever win. He took the lead
\nat the green flag and charged ahead. The race was slowed by five caution
\nflags and Blaskey hit his marks on each restart to maintain his lead.
\nOver the final two restarts, he was challenged by last year\u2019s division
\nchampion, Joey Ternullo. Blaskey proved to be too strong, going on to the
\nwin over Ternullo. John O\u2019Sullivan Jr. finished third.<\/p>\n
Porter was back in Victory Lane for another Super X-Car win. He came on
\nstrong over the middle of the 25-lapper, riding the outside lane over a
\nstretch of green flag racing that brought him past the front runners into
\nthe lead. Porter took command from Shane Peele on lap-14 and never looked
\nback. He pulled ahead to the win over Kevin Moon, followed by early
\nleader Ray Reed, who finished third.<\/p>\n
Thomas was declared the winner in the 25-lap X-Car race after finishing
\nsecond on the track. Thomas bested Randy Johnston, who finished runner-up
\nafter leading two laps and racing among the lead cars all race. C.P.
\nBurdick finished a career-best third in the division.<\/p>\n
Marvin was strong in the night\u2019s 15-lap INEX Bandolero feature. He trailed
\nJonathon Puleo early, but used the outside lane to give Puleo a run for
\nthe lead. Marvin spent three laps finding the right combination to the
\noutside before pulling ahead. He slowly checked out through the checkered
\nflag in the non-stop race. Nickolas Hovey picked up his first runner-up
\nfinish in just his second race in the division and Puleo finished third.<\/p>\n
McDonald was crafty in the night\u2019s Wacky Race for the X-Car division, a
\nToll Booth race. He scored the most tokens in a race around the track
\nwith a \u201cstop\u201d each lap to place a token in one of four collection bins
\nlocated on the front chute of the track.<\/p>\n
