Cugini Storms to
NEMA
Lites Victory at Seekonk |
Danny Cugini beat back a hard charging Ryan
Locke enroute to victory this past Saturday, as the
NEMA Lites visited Seekonk Speedway during the
track's American Canadian Tour 100 event. Fourteen
Lite cars took the green, in what highlighted NEMA's
second event of 2017 at the famed MA oval.
When the green flag dropped in the feature, Cugini,
who started fourth, wasted no time in getting by
front row starter, Jim Cataldo. Quickly, Cugini
began a torrid pace, but quickly after, the young
Ryan Locke made his way into second place. Further
behind them, Jim Chambers was making his way through
the field as well, with Kevin Iannarelli hot on his
tail, and Paul Scally applying pressure as well.
Scally would be black flagged at the halfway marker,
for what appeared to be a potential fluid leak, and
was sidelined for the remainder of the event.
By this point, Cugini and Locke were in to heavy
lapped traffic. Cugini, passing cars both high and
low, could not shake Locke, who remained within four
carlengths for the majority of the event. As the
laps wound down, however, Locke could not close the
distance and Cugini would go on to take down the
victory. Locke was second, followed by Jim Chambers,
Iannarelli, Avery Stoehr in the Scrivani 21, Ben
Mikitarian, Jim Santa Maria - making his first start
of the season, Megan Cugini, Jim Cataldo and Dennis
O'Brien.
"I started 4th, and hit a couple
great gaps to work to the front early in the race. I
concentrated on hitting marks and being smooth. The
car was really hooked up and would work anywhere on
the track. I was saving tires as much as I could in
case there was a late race restart. I knew the 38
would be close and hats off to those guys they have
that car figured out and Ryan is doing a great job
driving. A huge thank you to Seymour Enterprises,
Bobby and Matt set up my car all day and got us in
victory lane. My father also for all the work he
helps me with in the shop and at the track, I
couldn't do this without him," he said. |
