True Value Modifieds Take Points
Battle To All-Star Saturday:
Epping, NH (September 15, 2008) -- The True Value Modified
Racing Series returns to action this Saturday night, Sept
20, at the All-Star Speedway, Epping, NH., and with only
four race dates remaining on the schedule, the battle for
the series championship is heating up, setting the stage
for another close finish for the 2008 title.
In 2006, Dwight Jarvis, Ascutney , VT. , and Jimmy Kuhn.
Jr., W. Bridgewater , MA. , battled down to the wire with
Jarvis claiming the championship in the season finale at
Lee , NH .
Entering All-Star, here is how the standings play out.
Only three points separate leader Chris Pasteryak, Lisbon
, CT. , and third place driver Mike Holdridge, Madison CT.
Sandwiched in the middle is three-time champion and
defending titlist Kirk Alexander, W. Swanzey, NH., only
one point behind Pasteryak and two ahead of Holdridge.
Jarvis is currently fourth with Buxton , ME. , veteran
David Pinkham in the fifth spot.
Alexander, already a three-time winner at All-Star, will
drive the Marco Turcotte # 43 in Saturday’s 100 lap grind.
“This point race is fun, it’s going to be good, said the
defending champion, Alexander. Pasteryak will drive his
family owned # 15 racer while Holdridge will wheel his # 0
car at the track his boyhood idol Ollie Silva once
dominated.
The TVMRS returns to All-Star after a year away from the
historic quarter mile facility. The series competed there
in 2004 with Jim Boniface, Winchester , NH. , claiming the
win. Three events were staged in 2005 with local favorite,
Louie Mechalides, Tyngsboro, MA., capturing one race while
Alexander grabbed two. Westbrook , ME. , driver Tony Ricci
won the 2006 race.
Additional expected entries include Jon McKennedy,
Chelmsford , MA., Rookie of the year candidate, Kenny
White Jr, Weare , NH. , Series founder Jack Bateman,
Canaan, NH., Les Hinckley, Windsor Locks, CT., Shelly
Perry, Ashaway R.I., Vinnie Annarummo, Swansea, MA., Rob
Goodenough and Dale Evonsion, E.Hartland, CT.
12 lap qualifying heats will determine starting positions
for the 100 lap green flag feature. Racing begins at 6 PM.
