Stergios Conquers NEMA
LITES Field at Star
Speedway |
On Saturday, May 8th the Northeastern Midget
Association LITES teams rolled into Bobby Webber's Star
Speedway with eighteen teams on hand.
In the heat
races, Ben Mikitarian took down the win in the first heat.
In the second heat Avery Stoehr took down the win.
When the cars rolled out for the feature, Ben Mikitarian in
the Triple M/NAPA Auto Parts blasted out into the lead.
Tiana Kibbe settled into second in one of her best runs to
date after last year's rookie season. Behind them, Richie
Coy was running solidly in third.
On Lap eight, PJ
Stergios started making his charge to the front. Stergios
had moved into third on the fourth lap, and moved into
second on lap eight. At this point, MIkitarian had stretched
out his lead.
Stergios began clicking off super
quick laps at 12.6 second circuit, to MIkitarian's 12.8 on
lap eleven. Stergios began to close the gap running
consistent laps in the high 12 second bracket, as Mikitarian
remained strong up front.
As the laps wound down and
lapped traffic began to play a part, Stergios would close
the gap on Mikitarian. With one lap to go, Stergios would
make his bid for the lead, and took command taking down his
first win of the season in a heartbreaker for Mikitarian.
Jake Trainor in the Seymour 29 was third, followed by
Coy, Dan Cugini, Jim Santa Maria, Randy Cabral, Avery
Stoehr, Kyle Valeri, and Chris Vose.
"I had luck on
my side with lapped traffic. The car was working really well
on the outside lane, and I was able to get through a lot
quicker than Ben. Thanks to the Webber family for having us
and continuing to improve the Star facility every year. We
love coming here," said Stergios.
The NEMA MIDGETS
and NEMA LITES have their first joint kickoff at LEE USA
Speedway this coming weekend.
