McKennedy Wires Seekonk Field For Third Win<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seekonk, Mass. \u2013 Jon McKennedy, of East Chelmsford, MA, moved closer to a
\npotential championship Sunday as he won the 100 lap Modified Racing Series, DAV
\nFall Classic, at the Seekonk Speedway, Seekonk, MA. The race was McKennedy\u2019s
\nthird win and his 10th career victory with the New England based touring division, sponsored by Bob Valenti AutoMall.Com. McKennedy started on the pole and led the entire event. He also became the seventh different winner of the annual race at Seekonk.
\n
\nMcKennedy held off the constant challenges of Richard Savary, Canton, MA, for the
\nfirst 70 laps. Todd Annarummo, of Swansea, MA, moved to second on a restart following a red flag situation due to a severe glare problem caused by bright sunshine that created
\na safety hazard for competitors<\/p>\n

When the race resumed, Annarummo pressured McKennedy to the finish but was
\nunable to get by the race leader. \u201cIt was a tough race holding of Todd. We were loose the whole race, I had to adapt a little bit.100 laps felt like 200 laps. It was tiring. I had my hands full. Todd has a lot of laps here; he\u2019s the last guy I wanted back there. Luckily we were able to hold him off,\u201d said the defending champion.<\/p>\n

Steven Masse, Bellingham MA, finished third, Ken Barry, Preston, CT, fourth, and
\nDave Berghman, Seekonk, MA, fifth. Six through tenth were Les Hinckley, Windsor Locks, CT, Ryan Preece, Berlin, CT, Max Zachem, Preston, CT, Jack Bateman, Canaan, NH, and Louie Mechalides, Tyngsboro, MA. tenth.<\/p>\n

The race was slowed by caution periods on lap 16,70,76, 78. It took 50:33 seconds to
\nComplete the 100lap event.<\/p>\n

McKennedy opened a 41 point lead over Dwight Jarvis who finished 12th. The race winner also has a 21-point lead over Gary Casella in the car owner point standings.<\/p>\n
