Romano, Monahan to Induct
Eldridge, Fornoro into Hall

Two of the Northeastern Midget Association’s greatest chroniclers – Chris Romano and Dick Monahan – will induct two NEMA greats, nine-time champion Drew Fornoro and three-time king Billy Eldridge, into the New England Auto Racing Hall of Fame Sunday Nov. 10 at the Lodge at Manelleys located at 65 Rye Street in South Windsor, CT.

In addition to the presidency, Monahan, who will induct Eldridge, has been NEMA’s public relations director, announcer, yearbook editor, statistics compiler and overall trouble solver and remains one of its top historians.

Romano will induct his long-time friend Fornoro. A key contributor to the now lamented Trackside Magazine, Romano has and continues to serve the sport with pen, microphone and now camera. He is one of a few non competitors to have won NEMA’s coveted Johnny Thomson Award.

Originally from Chelmsford, MA, Eldridge was the Northeastern Midget Association’s first champion (1953) and, some 40 years after retiring, is sixth on the clubs’ all-time win list with 32. Driving for the likes of Gibby Parmenter, Mike Scrivani, Bob Bahre and Rollie Lindblad, Eldridge, who began in the post World War II days, captured four NEMA championships.

Fornoro, who joins his father Nick in the Hall, holds Northeastern Midget Association records with 85 victories and nine championships, most of the former and all of the latter with owner Gene Angelillo. Born in Danbury, Fornoro won at least one NEMA feature in 21 different seasons, grabbing checkereds at over 20 different tracks.

OCTOBER 13th NEMA/LEE
CANCER WALK A SUCCESS

Approximately forty early raisers braved chilly temperatures and sunny skies to walk the Lee Speedway on Oct. 13, to benefit the N.H. chapter of the American Cancer Society. Race fans, crew members, drivers, officials and even boy scouts participated.

The event organizers, a team of Lee and NEMA members, had less then two weeks to "get the word out", and solicit donations. NEMA team leader, Tina Mederios, worked tirelessly to procure team tee shirts and stickers to sell.

Selected walkers were later given the opportunity to join in on victory lane celebrations and receive pink and black checkered flags, autographed by the race winners.

Bertrand Motorsports
40th Win

Todd Bertrand’s victory in the Angelillo Memorial at Waterford Speedbowl Saturday night, August 10th, marked the 40th NEMA victory for Bertrand Motorsports. The team, in fact, had three of the top five finishes with Randy Cabral second and Anthony Marvuglio, in the 74, fourth.

Cabral acknowledged the situation: “It’s kind of different being in second place and rooting for the car in the lead.”

“This is the best night of racing I think out of the whole year because you’ve got so many open wheel divisions that all put good rubber down on the track,” said Bertrand after his third straight Angelillo Memorial victory. In addition to NEMA and the NEMA Lites, the Supermodifieds and three different Modified divisions were on hand.

Still there were only three 12 seconds laps including Todd's feature-best 12.794 (105.518). Ian Cumens (12.939 – 104.336 mph) and Anthony Marvuglio (12.829 – 105.230 mph) did it en route to heat victories.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

NEMA's Payne / Medeiros compete in TQ's at Wall's Turkey Derby.
Payne claims Dirt Modified portion.

STORY & PHOTOS BY WILLIAM VANSLYKE

Wall Township, N. J. - 2013 Northeastern Midget Assoc. Lite Champion, Carl Medeiros Jr., and NEMA competitor Joey Payne took part in the 40th anniversary Wall Stadium Turkey Derby at the fast N.J. speedway Saturday. Both drivers entered the TQ portion of the show, and Payne competed in the Mike Mongiello owned Dirt Modified for that division.

The TQ event was the first for the newly acquired Medeiros machine and was fast right out of the trailer. The young driver time trialed seventh fastest after some minor chassis adjustments which placed him on the pole for the feature due to the inverted line-up.

At the drop of the green, Carl fell into the second slot in the field which he held despite two restarts, the first on lap one and again on lap four. It was at that time that the young Medeiros felt the engine start to tighten up and lose some power and finally expire during a lap seven caution as the power plant erupted in smoke and flame, ending his day. He exited the machine quickly and was not injured. “We’re happy the way the car ran and felt“, Medeiros said later, “We have another motor for the next race in Atlantic City, and have all winter to rebuild this one”.

Veteran open wheel racer Joey Payne spent time running on the track and in the pits as he sprinted between his Alan Mollot owned TQ and the Mongiello modified ride for his busy Saturday.

After a gear change, Joey timed his TQ eighth fastest which put him outside front row to complete the NEMA one - two starting spots for the inverted feature. Unfortunately, while Payne was coming up through the gears at the drop of the green, the ring and pinion broke in the rear end, slowing his racer and scattering the field behind him. No other car came in contact but his day ended very early.

After two NEMA misfortunes in the TQ’s, it was the full-up, wide, super powerful Dirt Modified feature that turned the days bad luck to good.

As the sun went down, along with the temperatures, Payne climbed in the Mongiello machine and after some hard driving and racing luck, the popular wheelman claimed the win in the 40 lap Dirt Modified final.

From the drop of the green, Payne held the number two spot until lap eleven when he slipped to third. He would keep a lock on that spot until the twenty second lap when Joey would drop down to forth in traffic. Not to be denied a good finish, the “Jersey Jet” combined some hard driving with some racing luck to claimed the top spot on lap thirty two and held it to the checkers. “The car turned fast time earlier today,” Payne said, “I was lucky in the main and after a bunch of years in this car, we finally got the win, I’m happy for Mike and his son.”

NEMA Champ Zych Always Knew
Where He Stood

Northeastern Midget Association driver champion John Zych Jr. admits he looked at the standings. “I always had a pretty good idea where we stood,” he says. “I knew we had a shot at it and that made me drive harder.” John and his dad, the owner champion, showed up expecting to win.

They needed a victory at the season-ending World Series at Thompson. They went into the race five points behind two-time defending champion Randy Cabral. He actually battled Cabral for much of the 25 lapper before claiming his fifth victory.

Ironically, the Zychs, both Mendon, Ma residents, won with a Drinan chassis purchased from the Cabral’s owner Bertrand Racing two years ago.
It was hardly an inspiring start, a broken motor at Waterford Speedbowl actually resulting in a “Did Not Start.” But there was a month until the second race, time for the Esslinger motor to be shipped to California and back. He was third at Seekonk and a winner at Star Speedway. “We worked for that win,” Junior says. “We didn’t start on the front row. We passed some cars early and we beat some good guys. When you do that, you get some confidence.”

Overcoming a “downer” at Monadnock (spinning while leading to avoid a lapped car), he won at Stafford and, four races later, conquered New York’s Airborne Speedway. “While I can’t point to a definite time when I was totally comfortable, I did think three wins at the halfway point in the season was a really good place to be,” he says.

He won again at Riverside Speedway in Groveton, NH but could not get away from Cabral whose win at Lee put Zych in second heading into Thompson. He says he appreciates winning the title under those challenging circumstances. Cabral and car owner Tim Bertrand have both been very helpful to the Zych since they came to NEMA in 2007 after a couple of Mini Sprint campaigns.
“This year we figured more things out for ourselves,” Zych claims, but quickly acknowledges the help of Midget maestros Bobby Santos III and Lou Cicconi at the World Series.

Competition has always been part of Zych’s existence, the father of two daughters with wife Liz, was a high school basketball sensation who went on to play at LeMoyne College in New York. John Sr. has the same resume. Also like his dad was, Junior is employed by the Hershey Corporation.

Zych’s first NEMA win came in the 2012 opener at Waterford and five races in, he was the point leader. He was, however, based in Louisville, KY then and business commitments and rain-outs got in the way. He found motivation in that. “Back in New England, I looked at this year as an opportunity,” he says. “Taking in account 2012, I thought this could be our year.”

They will be back in 2014.

NEMA Season Filled with Historic Victories

Already rich in history, the Northeastern Midget Association added another chapter in 2013. Led by champion John Zych Jr.’s five triumphs, there were nine different winners, some with historical significance.

Zych’s fifth win at the Thompson’s World Series gave him and his dad the drivers and owners championship respectively. It was the only way he could have accomplished it because Randy Cabral’s second win of the season (and the 37th of his career) came at Lee USA Speedway’s Oktoberfest. It gave Cabral, a four-time champ, a five-point lead heading into the World Series.

A Hollywood script writer couldn’t have done it better. Zych’s dramatic win added a fitting chapter to a season that also saw Todd Bertrand (2), Seth Carlson, Modified star Doug Coby, Anthony Marvuglio, veterans Bobby Santos and Bobby Santos III and Bethany Stoehr visit victory lane.

Zych and the Cabral/Bertrand Motorsports 47 combination waged an enticing points war over the second half of the season. Cabral had a 12-9 edge in top-five finishes including the last seven races. He was third in four of Zych’s wins and fifth in the other.

Both Bertrand wins came at Waterford Speedbowl where Marvuglio, in Tim Bertrand’s ill-fated No. 74, scored an emotional win in the event that memorialized his brother Shane Hammond. And, it was at Waterford where Bethany Stoehr became only the second female winner in club history (Erica Santos was the first) but only after a race-long tussle with her uncle Russ Stoehr.

Coby, also in the Bertrand 74, joined a very select group of primarily Modified drivers (Gene Bergin, Ted Christopher) with a NEMA win at Seekonk’s Boston Louie Memorial. A couple of weeks later he returned in the same car and finished a few inches behind Cabral, turning a sizzling 11.149 lap en route. With Marvuglio aboard, the 74 was destroyed at New Hampshire’s Riverside Speedway.

Carlson tamed Oswego Speedway and in impressive style. Payne won for Ed Breault at Monandock, his 20th career NEMA victory which put him in a tie for 20th on the all-time win list with Johnny Coy and Jeff Horn. Santos moved up into a three way tie for 14th with Walter Galen and Ben Seitz when he drove the Cantor car to his 14th career win at Monadnock.

Two Zych’s win came at tracks NEMA hadn’t visited in a number of years – New York’s Airborne Speedway and New Hampshire’s Riverside Speedway. He also prevailed at Star and Stafford Speedways before the final win.

It was the 14th straight season Cabral had at least one victory. Only the legendary Dave Humphrey’s 16 is better.

Ian Cumens, who scored three seconds in his first full season in NEMA, was third in points followed by Todd Bertrand and Russ Stoehr.

NEMA Lites Champion Carl Medeiros Jr.

Early in the season finale at Lee USA Speedway’s Oktoberfest, Carl Medeiros Jr. hardly looked like somebody with the Northeastern Midget Association Lites Division championship all but won. He appeared to be a little aggressive.

“I was running in a tight bunch with a very slippery outside lane,” says Medeiros. “I was trying to get to third because that would put me on the inside row on a restart.” Make no mistake, the Fall River, MA teenager had his eyes on the bigger prize.

Westport, MA resident Medeiros, 17, wound up fourth, more than enough to claim the first “count-all-the-races” championship with a 27-point bulge on Danny Cugini. He had three victories and seven podiums among 10 top-fives.

Cugini did wind up with the owner championship besting Medeiros’ dad by eight points.
Only twice through the season did Medeiros, a senior at Diman Regional Vocational in Fall River, enter a race without the point lead. “Actually having the point lead helps,” he says. “You focus on who you have to beat, on who is behind and who is in front of you. It involves doing some math in your head.”

It is testimony to how badly Medeiros, who missed one show “for reasons I won’t talk about,” wanted the championship. Medeiros, who won his first Lites race a week-and-a-half before his 16th birthday, came so close to winning last year’s Hoosier Challenge.

“We lost on other people’s decisions, on stuff we couldn’t control,” says Medeiros who came to the Lites with a impressive Go Kart resume.

A select number of races made up the Hoosier Challenge. The season-ending Oktoberfest at Lee USA Speedway, which included the regularly scheduled feature and a rain out, was added to the number. Going in with a slim lead, Medeiros fell victim to the two-spin rule in the first race and got wrecked in the second. He wound up fourth in the standings.
Still, he was the leader in wins with four including three straight. Part of the latter statistic was two in one day at Lee.

Second in this season’s opener at Waterford, Medeiros assumed the point lead with a victory in the second race at Star. When Medeiros, who also won at Lee and again at Star, was not leading in points, he was not far behind.

He was out of the top 10 twice but one of those proved to be vital to the championship. After “basically destroying the car” at Monadnock on June 23, Jennifer Scrivani approached him about driving the No. 21. “Jen said ‘go talk to Joey Payne’ who had qualified the car. Joey said ‘yes.’” After some changes to the seat and belts and to the suspension, Medeiros finished 12th picking up what proved to be a vital 30 points.

He was 13th at Waterford on Aug. 10 but then finished with four top fours in the final six races. He also had a sixth and didn’t compete in one.

Medeiros, who will run some TQ action this winter, will move on to the Modifieds next year. One of things he’ll miss is racing with Cugini. “Most of the year we were starting side-by-side,” he said. “We are good friends.”

11 Different Winners For NEMA Lites

It was the busiest and the most competitive season yet for the six-year old Northeastern Midget Association’s Lites Division. There were 11 different winners in 17 events with point battles that went down to the final checkered.

Three-time feature winner Carl Medeiros Jr., 17, is the first count-all-the races champion, finishing with a 27- point edge on Danny Cugini. The Cugini No. 51 is, however, the top car, a scant eight points better than the Medeiros 50.

The top-15 owners and drivers will all be recognized at the NEMA Awards Banquet Saturday night, Nov. 16 at White’s of Westport, in Westport, MA. |

The “winningest” car was the Bill Stergios 11, brothers P.J. and Jake Stergios driving it to a combined four checkereds and a third in the final standings. P.J. Stergios and Medeiros share the “winningest” driver laurels.

Ian Clemens and Avery Stoehr, with two apiece, were also multiple winners. Each had a “big track” win as well, Seymour family driver Clemens prevailing at Airborne while third generation performer Stoehr, was successful at Stafford Speedway. Stoehr is slated to join cousin Bethany Stoehr in NEMA’s premier division next season.|

The “biggest” big plum, belongs to Oswego Speedway winner Richie Morocco. Others with a single win, in addition to Jake Stergios, are Cugini, who won the season finale at Lee, Andy Barrows, Scott Bigelow, Randy Cabral and Kenny Johnson.

Stoehr and Johnson, both teenagers, finished third and fourth in the final point standings. Twenty-one year old Cugini, part of a two-car team that also included sister Megan, is the oldest among the top four, testimony to the division serving its intended purpose.
Consistent all year, Logan Rayvals finished fifth in driver points.

Medeiros, Cugini and Johnson all had 10 top-five finishes, Medeiros’ three victories making the difference in the final figuring.

The Stoehr 15a and the Johnson 46 were fourth and fifth in the final owner standings.

Unlike last year when Medeiros won three straight, the Lites had no back-to-back winners this year.
Last year’s Hoosier Tire Challenge winner Ian Cumens wound up 12, collecting two seconds and a third to go with the two victories.
Anthony Payne, son of NEMA standout Joey Payne, made his midget debut with eight starts in the Scrivani 21, sixth his best result.

Zych Wins Race, Claims Championship

Thompson, CT- John Zych Jr. won the 25-lap Northeastern Midget Association 25-lap feature Sunday at Thompson Speedway’s World Series. He captured the 2013 driving championship as well in a series of acts worthy of a classic script.

En route to his fifth win of the season, Zych (Zych 9) inherited the lead when a leaking Todd Bertrand fell victim to a black flag. He then beat back two restart challenges from Randy Cabral (Bertrand 47) who had a five-point edge atop the standings going in.

“I absolutely didn’t want that,” said Zych, “knowing the way Randy runs here. But I always felt it was in my hands.” He was, in fact, “thankful” that winning the championship came down to such a challenge.

Cabral, who won the last two championships, was actually nipped for second at the line by Bobby Santos III (Cantor 7ny) giving Zych a 17- point bulge in the final standings. Brothers Russ (Dumo’s Desire 45) and Greg Stoehr (Stoehr 26b) completed the top five.

Zych’s dad has the same edge over Tim Bertrand atop the owner standings.

Pointing out his car “wasn’t perfect,” Zych kept the hammer down and was 1.4 seconds ahead of the Santos/Cabral duel. He was always aware of the five point difference.

The first restart challenge came with 16 to go. Zych and Cabral ran side-by-side into one, Zych coming out of two with the edge. Cabral actually led into three (“I knew he would be there,” said Zych) before the eventual winner exited four with a lead he quickly enlarged.

Five laps later yellow showed again. On the single file restart, Cabral again made a bid in three but Zych ran away with what was the quickest lap of the day, a sizzling 17.734.

“I didn’t hand it to John and I feel good about that,” summed up Cabral, pointing out “I think everything went the way it was supposed to.”

Cabral came back from a pit stop on lap nine when initial leader Avery Stoehr (Breault 44a) spun. “I was way too tight,” he said. “I was afraid of doing too much and I wound up not doing enough.” Zych took advantage of Cabral’s early handling woes with a pass three laps in and was sitting fourth when Avery spun.

He had climbed to third when yellow showed and, on the caution Bertrand, was black flagged. The hose had come out of the overflow bottle. He went back out only to have the bottle fall out on his return. Prior to that, Bertrand had turned a 17.827 lap, prompting the question; did Zych have enough to run him down?

Zych responded with a smile and a nod.

Members of NEMA since 2007, the Zychs, both former high school and college basketball players, are the first “new” champions since 2008 when Cabral and Bertrand won the first of their four crowns.
Both Cabral and Bertrand (“They were better than us today”) expressed happiness for a team that they helped a lot over the years.
Santos, who posted an 18.128, also on the 21st lap, also praised the Zychs.
Santos and Avery Stoehr were heat winners Saturday.
The Cantor team is expect to call it quits (there’s a for sale sign on the car) while the 45 crew had nothing definite to say about their rumored end after 33 seasons.
Derek Pernesiglio, who finished 11th in the family 80, had a busy weekend starting with his Fox Sports assignment at Road Atlanta on Friday evening. He flew to Boston and rented a car, arriving at Thompson early Saturday morning. He “got back into his reporters’ clothes” and did the Whelen Modified Race which will be on Fox Sports One on Sunday, Nov. 3.

NEMA Battle Down to Wire
at Thompson World Series

Brockton, MA – The more things change, the more they stay the same goes the old adage. Once again, the Northeastern Midget Association driver and owner champions will be determined at Thompson Speedway’s World Series.

Randy Cabral and car owner Tim Bertrand, winners Sunday at Lee USA Speedway’s Oktoberfest, take an ever-so-slim five-point lead over John Zych Jr and his dad into Sunday’s 25-lap feature. It is hardly new territory for Cabral, a four-time champ, who has faced the challenge before.

NEMA’s all-time Thompson winner, five of Cabral’s 10 wins have come in World Series events including four of the last six. Zych, however, comes well prepared, checkereds at Stafford and Airborne Speedways evidence he can handle the ”big” tracks. Zych has four wins this year.

The last two World Series NEMA features highlighted battles between Cabral and Russ Stoehr, the latter a five-time Thompson winner including the 2011 World Series. They were both turning laps in the very 18s, meaning speeds well in excess of 130 mph. Russ Stoehr can never be counted out at Thompson.
Other World Series winners expected include Joey Payne and Greg Stoehr, both scoring historic victories.

A Thompson Midget win puts you on one of the sport’s most impressive win list and there is no shortage of contenders this time. It includes youngsters Seth Carlson, the winner at Oswego Speedway, and Bethany Stoehr, second at Oswego and a winner at Waterford. They put on a dazzling show at the ultra-quick Oswego layout.

Two-time winner Todd Bertrand, fast all year, and rookie Ian Cumens will compete for the third spot in the final standings. Cumens, second at both Stafford and Airborne this year, was among the leaders at last year’s World Series. Jim Chambers, also a rookie, deserves attention.

NEMA’s history includes many World Series stories. Among them: Greg Stoehr (in the Zahar 38b VW) passed brother Russ (in the Beane 26b Guerte) to win at the 1993 World Series; Joey Payne gave Gene Angelillo his 100th victory with a late pass of teammate Russ Stoehr at the 2000 World Series and Nokie Fornoro’s final Midget victory came at the 2009 World Series in the Jarret 4.

Oktoberfest NEMA Prize to Cabral

Lee, NH – Randy Cabral wasted little time in getting to the front. Taking the lead four laps in, Cabral won the Northeastern Midget Association 25-lap feature Sunday at Lee USA Speedway’s Oktoberfest. It was the second straight Oktoberfest win for Cabral and car owner Tim Bertrand.

Coming from the eighth starting spot, Cabral went around Joey Payne (Pernesiglio 80), the only other leader out of two. He beat back a challenge from Ian Cumens (Seymour29s) and had to do some nifty maneuvering through lapped traffic at the finish to claim his 37th career NEMA win.

Cumens was second with Jim Chambers (Chambers 21) third. John Zych Jr.(Zych 9) claimed fourth with Todd Bertrand (Bertrand 39) fifth. Cabral takes a slim lead over Zych atop the points into this weekend’s World Series at Thompson, the season finale.

Cabral first looked inside Payne. “Almost hit him,” he said. “It kind of got me sideways. I had to do a little back peddling and try the outside.” He had gone from fourth to second two laps before, passing both Chambers down the back and Cumens out of four. He went on to win the caution-free affair in just under six minutes, finishing a couple car lengths ahead of Cumens.

Zych passed Bertrand, after a four-lap battle, on lap 15.

Cabral gave much credit to car owner Tim Bertrand, pointing out “he was all over the car all day.” He called Lee “one of his favorite tracks.”

Cumens had the fastest lap, a 13.802 on the 11th circuit.
The NEMA feature went off at 6:23 pm, ending a long and frustrating day.
Bethany Stoehr, looking for a second straight victory after capturing the Finale at Waterford, did not start, the car refusing to fire.
For the first time in anybody’s memory, the Dumo Desire 45 was not on the scene. “I’m here,” responded regular driver Russ Stoehr, who drove the family 26b.
Cabral, pointing out the track “is tough to get a hold of,” said he learned to drive Lee in the Mini Cup cars a few years ago.

Cugini Gets LITES First;
Medeiros Clinches Crown

Lee, NH – Danny Cugini won the 25-lap feature and Carl Medeiros Jr. captured the first “count all the races” championship as the 2013 Northeastern Midget Association Lites Division season came to an end at Lee USA Speedway’s Oktoberfest.

It was the first win for the ever-consistent Cugini who started sixth and passed Andy Barrows, the only other leader, at the halfway point. Barrows held on for second with Jake Stergios, Medeiros and Brandon Igo filling out the top five.

Medeiros, the point leader much of the season, and Cugini had no time to celebrate the crown. Due to the lateness of the feature, there was no Victory Lane ceremony.

Only two cautions, the first before a lap was complete, slowed the race. Taking off from the pole, Barrows ran in front of a tight bunch before he and Cugini began a battle with six gone. Cugini’s winning move came down the front stretch.

It was a long ride for Stergios, a Lee regular, who came back from a second lap spin. A Stergios/Medeiros battle was a late-race highlight.

CANCER WALK and MEET & GREET

Lee USA Speedway and the Northeastern Midget Association will join in a unique benefit for the American Cancer Society at this weekend’s Oktoberfest

It begins with a traditional walk around the speedway on Sunday at 8 am (registration at 7 am). Walkers are encouraged to form "teams", each team becoming eligible to win a Pink and Black checkered flag signed by all the drivers in one of many features on the busy Octoberfest schedule.

There are no limits on team numbers. An individual can be a team. Each team will be asked for a $10 donation. The winners will be picked “out of the hat” and the presentation of the flag will be part of each victory lane ceremony.

There will be a NEMA "Sign your PINK" Meet and Greet autograph session on Sunday 10/13. Fans are encouraged to bring their PINK apparel and any other items to the session and the NEMA and NEMA Lites drivers will be happy to sign them and say hello. Time and location to be announced

NEMA Heads to Oktoberfest;
Points Battles in Spotlight

Brockton, MA – The Northeastern Midget Association’s Lites Division will crown a champion this weekend at Lee USA Speedway’s Oktoberfest. Leader Carl Medeiros Jr. will carry a 22-point lead on Danny Cugini into Sunday’s 25-lap feature. It is the final race of the season for the Lites.

Points grab the spotlight for the full Midgets as well, John Zych Jr. a scant 25 up on four-time and defending champion Randy Cabral heading into that feature which is also on Sunday. It is the next-to-the last event for the full midgets.

Although hardly an unknown quality, Lee remains a test for the Midgets. Bobby Santos III’s 13.018 lap (103.703 mph) en route to victory earlier this year is evidence it is a “take no prisoners” type of place. Cabral and Russ Stoehr have won twice at Lee while Joey Payne and Greg Stoehr have one win apiece.

Bethany Stoehr will be looking for a second straight win, collecting the hardware at Waterford’s Finale last weekend but only after a race-long tussle with her uncle Russ, the latter seeking his first win of the year. It could be another Stoehr vs. Stoehr event, Bethany’s dad Greg in the mix as well.

With nine winners, it has been a very competitive year. In addition to Zych and Bethany Stoehr, Cabral, Todd Bertrand, Payne, Anthony Marvuglio and Seth Carlson will be seeking another trip to victory lane. Looking to join the win list are top rookie Ian Cumens, Greg Stoehr and Paul Scally.

A repeat performance will be Medeiros’ goal, the 17-year old winning the Lites’ last visit to Lee back in July. He had two wins there in 2012, doing it on the same night. He hopes to become the first “count-all-the-races” Lites champion.

Cugini, who has nine straight top-10 finishes including a fourth and eighth at Lee, aims to stop him.

Kenny Johnson, who became the ninth Lites winner this year at Waterford, is another contender, along with Avery Stoehr, Andy Barrows, Ricie Morocco, Cumens, Cabral and Jack Stergois, all 2013 Lites winners as well. Also hoping to cash in at the division’s finale are Ryan Bigelow, Christian Briggs, Brandon Igo, Logan Rayvals and DJ Moniz.

Bethany Stoehr NEMA’s Best
At Speedbowl Finale

Waterford, CT – Bethany Stoehr, beating back continued challenges from her uncle Russ Stoehr, won the 25-lap Northeastern Midget Association feature Sunday at Waterford Speedbowl’s Finale. It was the first Midget win for Stoehr, 18, who is only the second female winner in NEMA’s 61-year old history.

Taking the lead three laps in, Bethany, the daughter of NEMA competitor Greg, survived a series of unusual restarts to finish a tick over a second in front of Russ. It was another chapter in the Stoehr vs. Stoehr wars that are part of NEMA’s story.

“I knew [Russ] was behind me,” she said. “I just kept telling myself to hold it together.”

John Zych Jr. was third and will take a slim point lead into next weekend’s Ocktoberfest at Lee USA Speedway. Randy Cabral and Todd Bertrand completed the top five.

The final restart came with 11 laps remaining when Avery Stoehr, the fourth family member in the race, spun. Zych grabbed second on the restart but Russ quickly went around him to regain second and resumed the challenge. “I gave her everything the car had,” said Russ following his best finish of the year. “She was just better than we were today.”

Following a caution on the initial lap, Joey Payne grabbed the lead. Bethany, who started third, cleared Payne down the backstretch with three gone and two laps later Russ caught her, the tussle for the lead running ahead of a battle for third between Payne and Cabral while Greg Stoehr and Zych fought for fifth.

With 13 laps left, Greg and Seth Carlson ran into fluid dropped by Payne, their day ending in the wall between one and two. Twice the ensuing restart was called back, Bethany, with Cabral behind her, jumping the first time and getting on it too slowly the second time.

“I knew [Russ] was really good on restarts,” Bethany explained. “My father always talks about it.”

She got away on the third try with Russ again in pursuit. Two laps latter the yellow showed again.

“I was restarting off the leader,” said Zych, explaining his move on the last restart. “I saw [Bethany] go so I went.” Admitting he had nothing for Bethany, he did “protect the bottom” over the final circuits, “not wanting to go outside and leave it open.”

Bethany joins Erica Santos as the only NEMA female winners. Erica won at Stafford back in 2007.
A heat winner on Saturday as was Russ, Bethany had the fastest feature lap – a 13.119), faster than Russ’ Saturday best of 13.198.

Johnson Gets First At Finale

Waterford, CT – Kenny Johnson left no doubt about his first-ever Midget victory, dominating the 25-lap Northeastern Midget Association Lites feature Saturday night at Waterford Speedbowl’s Finale.

Starting sixth, Johnson took the lead from Paul Bigelow on the front stretch with 16 laps remaining and went on to a 1.4 seconds victory over Jake Stergios. Johnson needed less than six minutes (5.57) to cover the distance, grabbing fastest lap honors (13.964-96.68 mph) as well.

Bigelow, the only other leader, held on for third. Christian Briggs passed Avery Stoehr just a few feet in front of the checker to claim fourth.

Settling into third at the start, Johnson took second from Stoehr coming out of two with five gone. He battled Bigelow for two laps, some of side-by-side, before the winning move down the front stretch. He then ran away.

Coming from the 12 starting spot, Stergios passed Stoehr for third with 13 left and a lap later Bigelow for second but was a straightaway behind the leader. “I was hoping for a caution,” Stergios told the crowd. “That was the only way I was going to catch Kenny today.”

Carl Mederios and Danny Cugini, running first and second in points, finished sixth and seventh. The championship battle will go right to the final race next weekend at Lee USA Speedway’s Ocktoberfest.

Johnson and Briggs were the heat winners, Briggs turning a 13.9 lap.
ISMA regular Alison Cumens spelled her brother Ian in the Seymour #9, finishing 12th.
Keith Rocco was a crash victim in the Manafort car.
Johnson was the eight different Lites winner of the season.

NEMA Stretch Run
Begins at Waterford

Brockton, MA – Waterford Speedbowl’s Finale, Oct. 5-6, begins the traditional “stretch run” for the Northeastern Midget Association. Point races take center stage as both NEMA and the NEMA Lites have places on Waterford’s two-day season-ender.

John Zych Jr., a four-time winner this season, will take a 17-point edge on four-time and defending champion Randy Cabral in Sunday’s 25-lap feature. It is NEMA’s fourth visit to the Speedbowl this season.

The Lites point race - three-time winner Carl Mederios Jr. is 51 up on Danny Cugini – could well be decided in Saturday’s 25-lap Lites feature. Both NEMA and the Lites will qualify on Saturday.

The Zych- Cabral battle has raged throughout the season. Both have won at Waterford in the past and both were runners-up there this season. Getting to the front as quickly as possible could well be the secret at a facility where 12-seconds laps are no longer a rarity. Anthony Marvuglio turned a 12.933 en route to winning the Hammond Memorial earlier this summer.

The owners battle between John Zych Sr. and Tim Bertrand is equally close. Bertrand cars, in fact, will be seeking a Waterford sweep – Todd Bertrand winning twice and Marvuglio once.

It does not stop with the top two. Positions three through fifth are still in question among Todd Bertrand, rookie Ian Cumens and Russ Stoehr, the latter hoping Waterford provides an avenue out of the doldrums for himself and the Dumo’s Desire team. Russ Stoehr and Cabral each have eight Speedbowl wins.

Seth Carlson and Bethany Stoehr hope to prove their sterling performances at Owsego were not flukes. Greg Stoehr, third at Oswego and Joey Payne will be looking for a return to Waterford’s victory lane. Rookie Jim Chambers and Paul Scally are among the other contenders at a track that has a history of first-time winners.

Waterford, which hosted the first-ever Lites race back in 2008, now plays a major role in determining the division’s first “count all the races” champion. Mederios, the biggest winner over the past two seasons, hopes to move closer to the crown while the ever-consistent Cugini aims to stay in contention
.
Avery Stoehr, who sits third in points seeks a second Waterford victory this season while rookie Richie Morocco hopes to follow up Oswego with a second triumph. Ian Cumens, doing double duty all year for the Seymour family, Brandon Igo and rookie Kevin Hutchens are other favorites.

The stretch drive will continue with Lee USA Speedway’s Oktoberfest on Oct. 12-13 and Thompson Speedway’s World Series Oct. 19-20. The Lites finish the season at Lee.
