Veteran Racer Jim Miller Dominates In Oswego
Speedway NEMA Action |
(Oswego NY) It was all about Jim Miller at New
York’s historic Oswego Speedway on Saturday evening, as
the veteran NEMA racer displayed a dominating
performance in capturing the Northeast Midget
Association 35-lap feature event.
After setting a
new 1-lap track record of 16.94 earlier in the evening,
Miller started the feature from the pole position and
quickly distanced himself from the competition.
The evening marked Miller’s first trip to victory lane
since 2001.
Behind the winner several battles
raged during the quick green-to-checker affair. For much
of the event it was Russ Stoehr, Seth Carlson, and Joey
Payne vying for the runner-up spot.
Point leader
Randy Cabral was also in the mix having quickly moved-up
before being forced to slow when the #77 of Greg Stoehr
broke.
Chasing Miller at the checkers were Russ
Stoehr, Jeff Abold, Carlson, and Cabral.
Claming
victory in the fast-paced 25-lap NEMA Lites feature was
Ian Cummings, followed by Paul Bigelow, Avery Stoehr,
James Santa Maria and Randy Cabra
NEMA, and the
NEMA Lites Series next return to action at Connecticut’s
Waterford Speedbowl on Saturday evening September 1, for
the Gene Angelillo Memorial Race. |

Oswego Veterans |
Brockton, MA – Russ Stoehr,
who has won eight times there, Joey Payne Jr., a
two-time winner, and Randy Cabral, who has some near
misses, are among the favorites when the Northeastern
Midget Association returns to Oswego Speedway Saturday
night. NEMA last visited the historic five-eighths oval
back in 2005.
The NEMA Lites will be making the
trip as well, Oswego looming as the ultimate test for
the five-year old division.
While many
competitors will be on Oswego’s asphalt for the first
time, there are some experienced hands. Current
competitors Adam Cantor, Payne, Cabral and Doug
Cleveland were all on hand when supermodified ace Chris
Perley won the last NEMA race at Oswego in Don Berrio’s
#2.
Considering Payne, an old hand at Oswego,
turned 17.1 seconds laps en route to a victory in 2004,
speeds in the 16 seconds bracket are probable.
Stoehr’s last win came in 2001. Still, the strategy that
carried him to all those wins no doubt remains the same.
“It’s a big rhythm track,” he offered a decade ago.
“I’ve had a lot of success there because I pass on the
outside. Guys that get down in the groove can’t do that.
Actually, it’s a pretty easy place to drive. If you make
a mistake at Oswego, there’s usually room to get out of
it.”
And, sometimes there isn’t. Stoehr had a
devastating crash at Oswego in 2002, a race won by Drew
Fornoro.
Stoehr’s Dumo’s Desire team, an
extention of the Angelillo operation, also has eight
Oswego checkereds.
Cabral, locked in another
point battle with Stoehr, came within a whisker of an
Oswego win in 2003, crashing while in the lead. The
three-time and defending champ was second in ’02, fourth
in ’04 and 11th in ’05.
John Zych Jr., Greg
Stoehr, Mike Horn, Cantor, Seth Carlson, Cabral and
Anthony Marvuglio all hope to become NEMA’s first
two-time winner this season. Horn has been impressive on
big tracks with wins at Thompson and Stafford Speedways
in the last two seasons.
Other contenders include
Jim Miller, Paul Scally and Todd Bertrand.
It
will be a first-time experience for most of the Lite
cars. The division has been dominated by youngsters like
most recent winner Avery Stoehr (Russ’ son), three-time
winner Carl Medieros Jr., Ian Cumens, Dylan Duhaime,
Bethany Stoehr and Danny Cugini.
