Christopher Ends VMRS Winless Streak With Waterford Win<\/strong><\/p>\n Waterford, CT. \u2013 Veteran driver Ted Christopher, of Plainville, Connecticut, put an end to a two-year winless streak when he won Christopher\u2019s last series win was July 29, 2012.<\/p>\n Christopher started outside front row in the 24-car field. Pole sitter Steve Masse, of Bellingham, MA., took the lead at the drop of the green flag with Christopher giving chase over the first 42-laps. When Christopher jumped into the lead, he was never headed. Justin Bonsignore, of Holtsville, NY, finished runner-up for the fifth time this season. Masse settled for third, followed by Chris Pasteryak, of Lisbon, CT, and Tom Abele Jr, of Baltic, CT, his best series finish to date.<\/p>\n Pasteryak started off the night a victim of a qualifying race crash. The consolation race was no better. The second-generation driver got in the starting lineup through a series provisional giving him the 24th and final starting position. <\/p>\n Pasteryak worked his way to seventh at lap 88. When a lap-96 melee on the front stretch eliminated six cars, Pasteryak restarted the race in fourth and finished there. <\/p>\n Starting 14th, Abele Jr also stayed trouble free for a solid fifth place finish.<\/p>\n Sixth through tenth were Mike Willis Jr, Max Zachem, Eric Goodale, Norm Wrenn, and Jonny Kay.<\/p>\n The official time of the race was 50:45 seconds. Four caution flags were needed on laps 42, 78, 96, and 97.<\/p>\n Anthony Nocella, Christopher, and Pitkat, won qualifying races, and Keith Rocco nabbed the consolation race.
