WISCASSET NEMA FAN
Her name is Lexi and she got the
spend the day with the drivers and sit in the cars and ride
in the push trucks. She also left with hero cards and a NEMA
T-shirt. Lexi cannot wait for NEMA to come back in
September. |

Zych Jr., Bigelow Impressive
in NEMA’s
Return to Wiscasset |
The Wiscasset Speedway & Ames True Value Hardware of
Wiscasset put together a blockbuster evening for NEMA this
past Saturday night, with packed stands, and fans eagerly
awaiting the return of the Northeastern Midget Association
Winged Warriors.
At the end of the night, a very
happy John Zych Jr. and Ryan Bigelow took down NEMA & NEMA
Lite wins, respectively.
The evening for NEMA
started with time trials, to set the stage for a "two
segment" 30 lap feature. John Zych Jr. blazed the trails in
time trials setting quick time over Danny Cugini, with a
blistering 13.040 second run.
In the first segment,
by virtue of an invert, Bethany Stoehr and Randy Cabral
would bring the field to green. Cabral and Stoehr would
battle side by side for the first few laps of the feature,
with Cabral coming out at the point. Cabral would begin to
stretch his lead out over the field, and was never seriously
challenged during the first segment of the feature event.
In the second segment, Avery Stoehr would take the lead
early. Stoehr looked very strong, until his night changed
entirely when his left side wing panel would come undone and
eventually wind up off the race track. Fighting an ill
handling race car, Stoehr would begin to fade, when last
week's winner Seth Carlson then challenged for the lead.
Unfortunately, Carlson's night would also come to an end
after a brief lead, with a broken steering arm, sending him
off the banking of the race track. When the race resumed,
John Zych Jr. blasted into the lead, and was hotly pursued
for a couple of laps by Danny Cugini. Cugini's night would
come to an end with a power steering issue - and Zych was
never seriously challenged after that point. Randy Cabral
would finish second, followed by Avery Stoehr, Jim Chambers
and Paul Scally.
"I liked the different format and
the chance to go out and qualify. It was a few laps longer
than we usually run so I knew we would have to save the
tires for the final segment if we were to have any chance.
We were fortunate that the car was perfect for both
qualifying and the race. Sometime you have nights where you
hit everything perfectly and Saturday was one of those
nights. Wiscassett is a great track for NEMA. The fans and
staff are excellent so I hoped they enjoyed the show as much
as all of us," said Zych.
In the Lites feature, Ryan
Bigelow and Paul Scally brought the field to green. Bigelow
quickly blasted out into the lead with his SMG Motoring
Ecotec. Bigelow has been historically fast at Wiscasset,
running at the point for nearly the entire NEMA feature back
in 2014.
Bigelow would quickly stretch out his lead,
while further back behind him, PJ Stergios and Danny Cugini
were fighting their way through the field.
Bigelow
was never seriously challenged enroute to victory, over
Stergios, Cugini, Jim Chambers, Anthony Payne, Randy Cabral,
John Zych Jr., Meg Cugini, Ben Mikitarian, and Paul Scally.
"The car was absolutely awesome. My brother, Paul,
made some adjustments just before practice, and the car
couldn't have driven better. I need to thank my whole family
for their support, and SMG Motoring for the power. Also -
thanks to Wiscasset, it is one of my favorite tracks and the
fans are just great!," exclaimed a happy Bigelow.
