Russ Stoehr Monadnock Winner |
Winchester, NH – “It’s the camera thing,”
explained Russ Stoehr. “If you don’t see the flash in
the corner, you know you’re pretty safe.”
Stoehr
(Dumo’s Desire #45) got away from an early battle with
Randy Cabral (Bertrand #47) and then went on to a
convincing win in the Northeastern Midget Association
30-lapper Saturday night at Monadnock Speedway. It was
the second win of the season and the 42nd career win for
Stoehr.
Greg Stoehr (Stoehr #26b) won a long
battle with Chris deRitis (Cicconi/
deRitis #75) for
the third podium spot. Early leader Jim Miller was
fifth.
Anthony Nocella, taking advantage of
restart with five laps remaining, won the 20-lap NEMA
Lites race. Joey Mucciacciaro, the only other leader,
was second and Russ Wood Jr. third.
Veteran Jeff
Horn violently hit the tires along first turn wall on
the initial restart. He was conscious and talking when
transported to the hospital.
Running one-two in
points, Cabral and Stoehr swapped the lead twice in the
early going. Starting outside pole, Stoehr got the lead,
lost it to Cabral and then got it back again with an
inside move on lap five.
It was pretty loose,”
said Stoehr who beat back restart challenges on laps 8
and 13. “I tried to keep it on the bottom.”
“I
was making adjustments every lap but I had nothing for
him,” said Cabral. “I tried to be smart and save my
car.”
Stoehr, who posted a fast lap of 11.901,
never faltered and won by seven car lengths.
Greg
Stoehr and deRitis battled for several laps before
Stoehr snuck past on the inside late in the race.
The feature was the continuation of the feature
rained out on May 29. There were no heats.
After
a hectic schedule – three races in eight days (four
events in 11 days counting the first Seekonk OWW
rainout) – NEMA gets a week off before returning to
action at Waterford Speedbowl’s Wings and Wheels on Aug.

Anthony Nocella Captures NEMA Lites Victory
at Monadnock Speedway |
(WINCHESTER, NH) Victorious in the 25-lap NEMA
Lites feature at Monadnock Speedway on Saturday evening
was Anthony Nocella.
Outside pole-sitter and
early-leader Joey Mucciacciaro survived a number of
early event cautions before yielding the top-spot to
Nocella, who started 8th, late in the event.
“The car was getting-better as the race went-on, but we
may have needed that final restart to get-by Joey,”
stated Nocella in victory lane.” I was definitely
quicker, but that’s not to say that I could have got-by
him. I really love this track; we’ve got running-here
down pretty-well.”
Second-place finisher
Mucciacciaro agreed that the final caution period played
a key-factor in the event’s outcome. “We definitely
didn’t need that final restart, but that’s racing. I’d
like to congratulate Anthony on the win and thank my
sponsors and family for getting me here.”
Rounding-out the top-3 was Russ Wood Jr.
“This
was the best car I ever-had here,” commented Wood. We
ran out of time, I may have been able to catch them had
there been one more caution, but that’s not to say that
I could have passed them.”
It was Nocella’s
second 2010 Lites victory, his sixth-overall in the
division. Completing the top-5 was Eric Leclerc and Todd
Bertrand.
Joey Chick and Mucciacciaro were
qualifying heat winners.
The NEMA Lites next see
action at the Waterford Speedbowl on Saturday evening,
August 14. |

Brother One-Two Finishes
Not
Unique in NEMA |
Brockton, MA - Russ
Stoehr’s win over Greg in last Saturday’s Shane Hammond
Memorial at Waterford Speedbowl marked the 20th time in
Northeastern Midget Association history brothers have
finished one-two.
The Stoehrs take the sibling rivalry to
Monadnock
Speedway Saturday night, July 31st. Greg, who has
won three of the last six races there, rates among the
favorites.
Point leader Randy Cabral, Jeff and Mike Horn,
Adam Cantor, Jim Miller and Erica Santos are contenders
in the extra-distance feature.
Cabral, Todd Bertrand, Bethany Viets and Eddie
LeClerc head the entries for the NEMA Lites feature.
Waterford was the first one-two brother finish
since the 1999 Boston Louie at Seekonk, Bobby Seymour
the winner over Mike. The Seymours did it on nine
occasions, Bobby prevailing five times.
NEMA’s most successful brother combination Drew
and Nokie Fornoro were one-two eight times, each winning
four.
Russ’ win at Waterford evened things up, Greg
coming from deep in the field to win at the 1993
Thompson World Series.
Father and son have been
one-two twice. Johnny Coy Jr. beat son Joey at Thompson
in 1978 and Russ Stoehr bested father Paul at Star
Speedway in 1990. |
