\nSpeed on display as ISMA, NEMA, Valenti Modified Racing Series highlight
\nevent card<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nmotorsports enthusiasts across the northeast, Waterford Speedbowl hosts
\nthe 7th annual Wings & Wheels event on Saturday. The popular event
\ncombines the electrifying speeds of the fastest asphalt short track racing
\nmachines across the country. Race fans will be treated to the thrill of
\nopen-wheeled racing along with extraordinary speeds at the three-eighths
\nmile shoreline oval. The International Supermodified Association (ISMA),
\nNortheastern Midget Association (NEMA) and Valenti Modified Racing Series
\nall make stops on their summer tour, joining the Speedbowl\u2019s own NASCAR
\nWhelen All-American Series SK Modified\u00ae and SK Light Modified divisions
\nfor a unique pairing of race divisions.
\n<\/p>\n
\nSummers, a former Speedbowl track champion in the SK Modifieds\u00ae, leads the
\nseries championship standings. Jon McKennedy is the defending race winner
\nand closely trails Summers in the season standings. ISMA Supermodifieds
\nare lightning quick on the stop watch with speeds in the 120-mph plus
\nrange at corner entry, averaging over 107-mph on the tight three-eighths
\nmile oval. They will compete in a 50-lap race Saturday.<\/p>\n
\nappearances, but first since opening the season back in April. They will
\nrace for 100 green flag laps Saturday in what shapes up to be a hotly
\ncontested event. Speedbowl standout Keith Rocco used his home track
\nexpertise to take down the win and is a favorite headed into Wings &
\nWheels. Several series competitors are former Speedbowl standouts,
\nincluding two-time champion Chris Pasteryak, just nine points out of the
\nlead seeking another title. Like Summers, Pasteryak is a graduate of the
\nSpeedbowl\u2019s SK Modified\u00ae ranks. In a very tight series title chase,
\nJustin Bonsignore leads last year\u2019s champion Rowan Pennink by just one
\nmark. Todd Szegedy, yet another modified standout, is also well
\npositioned for a title run. Several other series drivers look towards
\nWaterford as a homecoming, including Max Zachem and Dave Etheridge, along
\nwith recent SK Modified\u00ae winners Jeff Pearl, Tom Abele Jr., Woody Pitkat
\nand Kyle James as expected entries. Lap times from the Valenti Modifieds
\ncould dip into the 13-second bracket, keeping with the theme of speed and
\nopen wheels.<\/p>\n
\nclub president Gene Angelillo, along with his wife Marilyn. The
\nprestigious Angelillo Memorial 25-lapper is one of the highlights of the
\nNEMA season. NEMA races at Waterford are always lightning-quick. The
\nlast series appearance, just two weeks ago, was completed in under ten
\nminutes with Seth Carlson taking victory. NEMA\u2019s benchmark is the
\n12-second bracket, joining ISMA in the elite speed category. The NEMA
\nLites will also compete in a 25-lap race on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\nSpeedbowl\u2019s SK Modified\u00ae and SK Light Modified divisions. SK Modified\u00ae
\npoint leader Keith Rocco seeks his 100th career Speedbowl win. He has a
\nchance if he wins both the SK Modified\u00ae and Valenti Modified Racing Series
\nfeatures and would become just the third driver in track history to
\nachieve the feat. Six drivers have visited the winner\u2019s circle during the
\nyear. In the SK Lights, five different drivers have won thus far in 2014.<\/p>\n
