WATERFORD SPEEDBOWL
WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 11th

State Wins NEMA Lites Opener Taking the lead exiting two with two laps remaining, Jessie State won the “first official” NEMA Lites feature Wednesday night (June 11) at Waterford Speedbowl. Coming from the rear, State was the third leader in the 20-lapper that was part of the Speedbowl’s Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday series. Jake Stergios, who led most of the race, held on for second with P.J. Stergios third. Anthony Marvuglio and early leader Josh Woolam completed the top five. Jake Stergios and State both passed pole sitter Woolam on a restart with 15 laps remaining. Although Jake Stergios did appear to be maintaining an edge, State played a waiting game before taking advantage of a slight “drift” with two left. Woolam, on the pole, jumped into the immediate lead but it lasted only four laps, Steve Powers and Russ Wood Jr. tangling coming out of four. Powers, who slid into the front stretch Armco, suffered an ankle injury. On the green, Woolam and Jack Stergios battled side by side but yellow flew again. On this restart, Woolam drifted back to fourth and into a battle with Anthony Marvuglio. Jake Stergios and State opened up a gap on the field with P.J. Stergios several car lengths back in third. The third stoppage, with 11 left, had little affect on the result. NEMA President Mike Scrivani Jr. and Vice President Tim Bertrand both expressed satisfaction with the car count (17 cars).

Awards Posted for the June 11th NEMA Lite Race at Waterford Speedbowl

The North East Midget Association is proud to announce that CellMark Inc., of Stamford, CT will be sponsoring the new NEMA “Lite” division. The company will be providing a bonus in each NEMA Lite feature for the “Hard Charger”, which is defined as the driver who passes the most cars during the feature event.

“CellMark is excited to be associating ourselves with the North East Midget Association, and also with a great group of up and coming drivers,” said company spokesperson Rick Paul. “We are looking forward to growing with the series and hope that our investment will help provide exciting racing action as well as to help the competitors with increasing costs.”

In its 20 year history, CellMark has become the world’s largest specialist in the marketing of woodpulp and paper related products. The company’s total annual sales exceeds four and a half million tons, representing an aggregate value of almost USD 2.1 billion.

Called a “feeder class” by NEMA Vice President Tim Bertrand, the NEMA Lite series is designed to introduce new competitors to winged midgets “in very low cost, less powerful cars.” Competitors can use any chassis that currently meets NEMA specifications but engines will be limited to Ford Focus and Oldsmobile Quad4.

“NEMA is proud to have CellMark on board as a sponsor and series supporter,” said NEMA President Mike Scrivani. “We are excited to be attracting organizations to our series of this caliber, and will do our very best to make their investment worthwhile.”
