Christopher won his ninth race of the year for the<br \/>\nmid-week series, continuing his dominance in the division.  He used a<br \/>\nthree wide move early to position himself for a run at the lead, which he<br \/>\nmade on lap-5.  He shot past the inside of John O\u2019Sullivan Jr. to take<br \/>\ncommand, then controlled the race over two restarts the rest of the way.<br \/>\nNick Ladyga stayed with Christopher for a few laps after the final restart<br \/>\non lap-18, however Christopher eventually pulled away to the win.  Ladyga<br \/>\nwas second and Michael Blaskey third.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Bombard was a popular winner in X-Car action.  He won for the first time<br \/>\nof the year outdueling point leader Zac Thomas over a late restart in the<br \/>\n25-lapper.  Thomas was the leader from lap-6 until the final caution flag<br \/>\non lap-21.  He missed a shift and Bombard seized the moment, restarting<br \/>\ncleanly on the outside to pull ahead for the win.  Thomas could not rally<br \/>\nfor a comeback and settled for second position, with Eric Finkbein Jr.<br \/>\ncoming out on top in a late race battle for third.<\/p>\n<p>Yardley and Bill Reiman battled side-by-side for the win in the 25-lap<br \/>\nSuper X-Car feature.  The two raced a final three lap sprint even after a<br \/>\ncaution flag on lap-22 set up a thrilling finish.  The two were even at<br \/>\nlap-28, Reiman led the white flag lap by a nose, and Yardley came back on<br \/>\nthe outside over the final lap to win by a few feet at the checkered flag.<br \/>\n Reiman finished second and early leader Ken Downing III was third.<\/p>\n<p>Puleo had to overcome adversity on the way to his 15-lap INEX Bandolero<br \/>\nfeature victory.  He started the race on a mission, using a three wide<br \/>\nmaneuver at the green flag to take the lead.  Anthony Marvin moved in<br \/>\nbehind to challenge Puleo and the two cars came together and spun in the<br \/>\nthird turn on lap-3 to draw the only caution flag of the event.  Puleo<br \/>\nstormed back, racing by then-leader Ken Morin Jr. on lap-6.  Puleo could<br \/>\nnot shake Morin from his rear view mirror the rest of the way but was able<br \/>\nto stay out front.  Morin finished second and Marvin rebounded to finish<br \/>\nin third.<\/p>\n<p>Waterford Speedbowl Wild \u2018n Wacky Wednesday 7\/23 Results:<\/p>\n<p>INEX Legend Cars (30-laps):  1.
