First-time Winner: Egan Triumphs at Thompson
|
Thompson, CT - The NEMA LITES
traveled to Thompson Speedway for the first time this season
with heavy hearts as longtime NEMA Race Director, Cynthia
Tebbetts, who had passed away earlier in the week but left
thrilled as Brayden Egan earned his first NEMA LITES career
win.
As the LITES took the track under the lights,
the cars and stars of the division stopped on the front
stretch for a moment of silence in remembrance of Cynthia
Tebbets. Once the cars refired, and aligned in their
starting positions, Tyson Adamik in the Adamik Motorsports
#88 alongside Brayden Egan in the Egan Motorsports #59 led
the field to the green field. While going into turn one,
Egan was able to take the lead followed by Trent Goodrow in
the Keller Motorsports #44 and Adamik.
On the
following lap, on the back stretch, Jake Trainor in the Matt
Seymour Racing #1, was able to take the low line into turn
one and drive up alongside the inside of Goodrow and Adamik
on the backstretch to take over second. On the move now,
Trainor had his eyes set on closing the gap between him and
first place Egan. While on the fourth lap, as the field
remained in a tight group, Randy Cabral in the #47 was able
to take the low line into turn three to drive up alongside
the inside of Adamik and Goodrow who were racing nose to
tail to take over the 3rd position.
Over the next
several laps, as the field began to spread out amongst
themselves, Egan continued to lead the field as Trainor
followed by Cabral worked to close the gap. On lap 8,
Trainor was now on the tail of Egan and made the move to
take over first and began to run away with the lead.
As the laps began to tick down and the field worked the
high banks of Thompson Speedway, Trainor continued to lead
over Egan, Cabral, Kyle Valeri in the Valeri Motorsports
#17, and Zach Martinez in the Cataldo Racing Group #7 to
round out the top 5.
Unfortunately, on lap 20,
trouble occurred for current leader Trainor, who retired to
the infield with 5 laps remaining. As the field re-racked
and stacked, Egan chose to restart along the outside of
Cabral to work the preferred outside groove. Going into turn
one, Egan, once again took over the lead, and quickly
following behind him was Martinez who was able to take over
second. While a three car battle for third between Valeri,
Cabral, and Tiana Kibbe in the Kibbe Racing #94 where the
three raced three wide going down the front stretch and into
turn one. While going into turn two, Valeri was able to
carry his momentum through the turn to take over third. Over
the next few laps, a battle for fourth now occurred between
Kibbe, Cabral, and PJ Stergios in the Matt Seymour Racing
#29. As the three raced three wide swapping positions until
the white flag was shown, where Kibbe was able to keep her
momentum coming out of three and into four to take fourth
while Cabral and Stergios raced side by side going down the
front stretch for the fifth position.
On the next
lap, as the checkered flag waved for the first time in his
NEMA Lite career, Egan took home the coveted win, followed
by Martinez and Valeri to round out the podium.
In a
post race interview, Brayden commented on his first NEMA
LITES win, “This is definitely a relief, I have been
dreaming of this win ever since I started racing. It’s been
a long time coming and a lot of hard work over the years. I
have to thank all my crew guys, they’ve seen me finish last
and they still stick with me. Thompson has always been an
important place to me. I first started watching races with
my Grandfather and Dad here and then began racing Quarter
Midgets at the Little T. You couldn’t have written a better
story.”
Eric Egan, father of Brayden, also commented
on his son’s first win, “I feel ecstatic, this feeling is
surreal, 4 years of hard work and trying to dial the car in
every race, the competition in the NEMA LITES is tough. It’s
tough to get a “W”.
To round out the top 10 were
strong finishes by: Brayden Egan #59, Zach Martinez #7, Kyle
Valeri #17, Tiana Kibbe #94, PJ Stergios #29, Randy Cabral
#47, Mike Pernesiglio #28, Paul Scally #30, Trent Goodrow
#44, Dennis Potter #03.
Both the NEMA MIDGETS and
LITES will be back in action this weekend on Sunday, July
20th at Monadnock Speedway for the Marvin Rifchin Memorial
Race. |

A Tribute to Cynthia |
By Erica Carlson Coutu - 7/8/25 |
Tonight we race in your memory !!!
Tonight, as cars are loaded and prepped for tomorrow’s race,
we take a moment to honor the life and legacy of someone
whose presence was far more powerful than the checkered
flag—Cynthia.
Cynthia began her journey as John, and
in 2007, she became who she was always meant to be. Through
that transformation, she found the freedom to truly live—and
in doing so, she helped so many others discover the strength
to grow, the courage to pursue, and the passion to race. She
was not just a race director. She was a mentor, a
truth-teller, a protector, and for many of us... family.
From ISMA to NEMA, Cynthia was a constant—steady in
voice, fierce in fairness, and endlessly generous in spirit.
She shaped the paths of countless drivers, offering not just
guidance, but wisdom. She told you what you needed to hear,
not just what you wanted to. And because of her, racers like
Dylan Coutu were given both the opportunity and the belief
to rise, even when the age- said wait. Cynthia was there
when he started to race against adults at just 13 and a
half. She was always there.
Through adrenaline, fear,
setbacks, and triumphs, Cynthia stood beside us all—her love
for this sport and its people unwavering.
Tomorrow,
we race with heavy hearts but fuller spirits, because
Cynthia’s voice still echoes in our ears and her legacy
lives in our laps. As engines rev and hearts beat, let every
turn of the track be a thank-you. Let every finish line be a
memory. Let her be felt in every moment we dare to chase our
dreams.
You will truly be missed, Cynthia. But your
track (both racing and Beetles loving) will never fade.

Young Gun Brayden Egan
Entering the NEMA
Midgets Field
|
When veteran driver and car owner, Jim Miller called
with the opportunity to race the iconic number 47
Bertrand/Linblad/Drinan Mid-Rail Chassis , it was a
life-changing moment for this rising star. Shocked but
grateful, Brayden Egan knew this was more than just a chance
to race; it was a chance to be part of something special. "I
understand what goes into a racing operation, especially at
this level, so to be asked to be behind the wheel was truly
an honor,".
Brayden was recently voted by his peers
the Mechanic of the Year Award. "It was an honor to receive
that award, knowing there are so many others who put so much
effort into their cars. To be recognized for my efforts
means a lot” Despite not yet having a long list of racing
achievements, he considers the award one of his proudest
accomplishments.
Looking ahead, he is aware of the
challenges that come with racing a more powerful car. "The
biggest challenge is getting used to the torque and
horsepower of the car. Learning to control that with my foot
will take some adjustment,". Additionally, adapting to the
differences between the Bertrand /Lindblad/Drinan chassis
and his previous Hawk NEMA LITES car, both from a mechanical
and driving perspective, is something he's focused on as he
prepares for the season. Fortunately, his familiarity with
the tracks and the drivers in the NEMA Lite series will give
him some much needed experience to make the adjustment.
Having joined a team with a history of success in NEMA,
he recognizes the value of that knowledge. "I can trust the
car and the owner, so I can focus more on my driving rather
than dealing with problems. I hope to one day add my name to
the list of wins they’ve achieved," he said.
When it
comes to his goals for the season, he remains grounded yet
ambitious. "My goals are to learn as much as I can, finish
races, gain respect, race clean, and progress both on and
off track throughout the year." Behind every successful
driver is a support system, and Brayden is no different.
"I’m lucky to have the support of my dad, my girlfriend,
Taylor, my friends, Anthony, Josh, Ben, TJ, Travis, and
Julian, as well as Pernesiglio Racing, Redline Motorsports,
Jim Miller, Circle Performance, my grandparents, and my
mom.” Brayden expressed the importance of the people who
help him both during and outside of race season.
As
he embarks on this exciting new chapter in his racing
career, there’s no doubt that with determination, support,
and passion for racing, this driver is one to watch in the
upcoming NEMA Midgets Series. Brayden
will make his NEMA Midget Debut at the Ray Kelley Memorial
Race at the New London Waterford Speedbowl on Saturday June
28th. Keep your eyes on this young gun and the new
youth movement in the NEMA Midgets, he will be fun to watch! |

Young Talent |
In 2025 NEMA fans will have their eyes on an
exciting rookie, RJ Deighton, a rising star on the
motorsports scene. RJ has an impressive track record in the
NASCAR Youth Series, where he dominated with four
championships in a single season. RJ is now stepping up to
compete in the ultra-competitive Northeastern Midget
Association series and is poised for success! Most recently,
RJ showed off his skills in a restricted wingless 600 Racing
at Airport Speedway in Newcastle Delaware.
As RJ gets
ready for his debut in a NEMA midgets, preparation will be
key. RJ said his approach is multifaceted. "To prepare
myself, I go out to the garage and learn more about the
cars. That way, when I'm on the track, I can better
communicate with my dad about how the car is handling. I
also train on the simulator to get a feel for different
track conditions, so I know what to expect in real-world
racing". Staying mentally and physically prepared is just as
important as having a fast car, and RJ has a solid pre-race
routine. "Before each race, I scope out the track and figure
out what lines I can take to be fast".
One of the
biggest transitions facing RJ will be adjusting to the
handling and setup of the NEMA cars. But RJ is no stranger
to these types of adjustments. "The car handling is
definitely different than a micro 600, but they feel pretty
similar to a quarter midget". But he's not resting on his
laurels. He is continuing to hone his skills in key areas
like downforce management, and learning when to lift or push
depending on the track conditions.
With his first NEMA
season around the corner, RJ has set some lofty, yet
realistic goals. "My goal for the 2025 season is to earn
consistent top 5 or top 10 finishes." he says. "If I feel
like I'm really exceeding, I'd love to get a victory or at
least finish in the top 3". It's a humble, yet ambitious goal
for someone with such a strong foundation in racing. Every
young racer needs guidance, and RJ is fortunate to have some
of the best in the business in his corner. "I've been
learning a lot from Tim Bertrand, Avery Stoehr, and the
whole Bertrand Motorsports crew." When it comes to who he
looks up to in the NEMA division, RJ states "I really look
up to two teams: Bertrand Motorsports and Matt Seymour
Racing (MSR). Both teams have great drivers with amazing
skills, and I hope to race like them someday." Behind every
great racer is a strong support system, and RJ is no
exception. "I have a lot of people supporting me--my family,
friends, and everyone who helps me get faster in the car. My
dad is my biggest supporter. He's always there to help me
get better and better, race after race." This unwavering
support will be essential as RJ navigates the highs and lows
of his first season in the NEMA series.
While racing
is clearly RJ's passion, he also enjoys activities off the
track that help him stay physically and mentally sharp.
"Outside of racing, I like to play lacrosse and go to
football games," With his strong foundation in racing,
dedicated work ethic, and a team of experienced mentors
behind him, RJ Deighton is ready to make his mark in the
Northeastern Midget Association. RJ's Beast Gearte midget
will be exciting to watch for the 2025 season and beyond.
Keep an eye out for this rising star as he makes his debut
in the NEMA series. |
