Honoring Shane Hammond with
Heart, Heat, and
History at Waterford:
Eldridge and Egan Capture
First
Career NEMA Wins |
Waterford, CT — On Saturday, August 30th, the New
London-Waterford Speedbowl hosted an emotional and
action-packed night as the NEMA Midgets and LITES gathered
for the annual Shane Hammond
Memorial.
The event honors the memory of Shane
Hammond, whose mother, Deb Glockner Marvuglio, started the
Shane Hammond Believe Foundation. Her tireless advocacy has
reshaped safety standards across tracks, clubs, and race
teams —i ntroducing vital improvements like driver
restraints, helmets for track officials, full containment
seats, and enhanced wall cushioning.
The NEMA
LITES took to the track for a special 37-lap feature. Tyson
Adamik in the #88 Adamik Motorsports entry lined up
alongside Drew Eldridge in the #55 to lead the field to
green. Adamik jumped out front early, taking command into
turn one. Behind him, Tiana Kibbe in the Kibbe Racing #94
and Eldridge battled side-by-side for second, with Eldridge
eventually gaining the upper hand on the backstretch.
Momentum quickly shifted further back as R.J. Deighton
#42 mounted a charge, overtaking Kibbe for third coming off
turn four. Just a lap later, Paul Scally used the low line
to slip past Kibbe for fourth. Meanwhile, NEMA veteran Randy
Cabral #47 was on the move, wrestling fifth from Kibbe by
lap 5 after a few hard-fought laps.
Up front, the top
three, Adamik, Eldridge, and Deighton, broke away, locked in
a tight draft. On lap 13, Eldridge made his first serious
move for the lead, diving to the inside in turn one. Adamik
responded with poise, holding him off and rebuilding a
slight cushion down the backstretch.
By lap 15,
Eldridge struck again, this time with more force. He got a
strong run off turn two, maintained his momentum through the
low line in turn three, and edged Adamik down the front
stretch to take over the top spot.
As Eldridge pulled
away slightly, a new battle emerged for second. Deighton
pressured Adamik and eventually cleared him with a strong
inside move on lap 17. One lap later, Scally moved into
third, while Cabral, charging from 12th on the grid, worked
past Adamik for fourth.
As the laps wore on, Eldridge
continued to lead, but Deighton wasn’t letting him get
comfortable. The #42 car stayed glued to Eldridge’s rear
bumper, searching for any opening. Meanwhile, the battle for
the top five remained fierce. On lap 25, Ben Mikitarian #9
capitalized on a high-line slip by Adamik to claim fifth.
With just three laps to go, the crowd was on its feet.
Deighton made his move, pulling alongside Eldridge on the
front stretch. But Eldridge held firm on the low side,
keeping his rhythm steady under pressure.
Coming to
the white flag, it was a two-car dogfight. Deighton once
again drove to the outside entering turn three, racing
side-by-side through the final corners. But it was Eldridge
who emerged victorious, holding his line and his nerve to
score his first-ever NEMA Lite win in dramatic fashion.
R.J. Deighton finished a close second, and Paul Scally
completed the podium, a fitting tribute in a race honoring a
driver whose legacy lives on through every safe lap turned.
In the victory lane interview, Eldridge, commented on
his first NEMA LITES career win, “This is awesome, I
actually felt this yesterday, when I race dirt, I can feel
when a win is coming. Yesterday, I woke up and I thought we
are going to do really well this weekend. My goal going into
today was just to run a 14.5 second lap time, and we killed
it with a 14.3 and then came back with a 14.1. Then I
thought, I’m ready to go home. That was my goal. My great
grandfather won here and I don’t think we have been in the
winner’s circle since. I’ve got the bloodline in racing, but
I do not have a lot of people helping me along the way. So I
have had to learn everything on my own and this is great.
This is just awesome.”
To round out the top 10 were
strong finishes by: Drew Eldridge #55, R.J. Deighton #42,
Paul Scally #30, Randy Cabral #47, Ben Mikitarian #9, Tiana
Kibbe #94, Mike Pernesiglio #28, Brayden Egan #59, Kyle
Valeri #17, and Zach Martinez #17.
Later in the
night, the NEMA Midgets hit the track for their 25-lap
feature event. Brayden Egan #3M and Joey Bailey #A1 led the
field to the green flag, with Egan jumping out front going
into turn one, followed closely by Bailey and Paul Scally
#30.
As the laps unfolded, Egan began to stretch his
lead, while a heated battle developed for fourth place.
Randy Cabral, piloting the Bertrand Motorsports #74, found
himself under pressure from Mike Horn #93 and Avery Stoehr
in the Bertrand Motorsports #39. Horn stayed glued to
Cabral’s rear bumper while Stoehr attacked from the high
side coming out of turn four.
By lap five, Cabral and
Stoehr were racing side by side into turn one. Cabral
managed to hold off the hard-charging Stoehr for another
lap, but Stoehr wasn’t backing down. Staying committed to
the high groove, Stoehr found the momentum he needed going
into turn one, pulling alongside Cabral again out of turn
two. The two ran door-to-door down the backstretch and
through turns three and four before Stoehr completed the
pass to take over fourth.
Though Cabral stayed close
and continued to challenge over the next several laps,
Stoehr maintained the position by carrying speed on the high
side and defending his line.
Up front, Egan continued
to dominate, extending his lead to nearly a straightaway
over Bailey, while Scally steadily chipped away at a
four-car-length gap to Bailey. As the leaders approached
lapped traffic, Scally closed in, getting right on Bailey’s
bumper and searching for a way around. Bailey, however, held
his ground and retained second.
With the laps winding
down, Egan remained in control, cruising to a commanding
victory — his first-ever NEMA Midget win. When the checkered
flag waved, he crossed the line with a lead of over five
seconds, followed by Bailey in second and Scally rounding
out the podium in third.
In a victory lane interview,
Egan commented on his first NEMA Midget win, “Car Owner, Jim
Miller did a great with this car all year, but tonight, we
really hit the set-up. Honestly, I can’t believe this. I
didn’t expect this, that's for sure. This is one of the
biggest races of the year and I'm happy to get the win here
at The Speedbowl. I come here almost every week and to get
the win here is definitely pretty cool. ”
To round
out the top 9 were strong finishes by: Brayden Egan #3M,
Joey Bailey #A1, Paul Scally #30, Avery Stoehr #39, Randy
Cabral #74, Matt O’Brien #16, Kyle Valeri #21, Lee Bundy
#49, and Mike Horn #93.
NEMA LITES are back in
action at Star Speedway, “The Place to Race” on Saturday,
September 13th. |
