Pasteryak Wins First At Waterford
Before Huge Crowd:
 Waterford,
CT (August 17, 2008) -- Current point leader Chris
Pasteryak, Lisbon, CT., scored his first True Value
Modified Racing Series win Saturday night, when he
captured the 100 lap “Racing Against Cancer Wings and
Wheels” feature race at the Waterford , CT. , Speedbowl.
Pasteryak’s victory was before the largest crowd seen at
the historic race track in 20 years.
Pasteryak, who started fifth in the field, moved into
second spot on lap 23 with his sights set on defending
series champion, Kirk Alexander. On a lap 52 restart,
Pasteryak powered by Alexander to become the pace-setter
and local favorite. Alexander would take the top spot back
for one lap but turn it back over to Pasteryak on lap 55.
Pasteryak and Alexander battled all the way to the finish
but Pasteryak opened a full straight-away lead over the
Swanzey, NH.., veteran, only to have it wiped out when
Shelly Perry tagged the first turn wall on lap 96. When
the race resumed, Pasteryak rode off to a popular victory
in front of the hometown crowd with Alexander settling for
the runner-up spot. The win also guarantees Pasteryak a
starting position in next month’s “Mod Mania”race at
Thompson , CT.
