FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WATERFORD — Colin Vanesse led green to checker to notch his first career win in the Bandolero Division. Miliania Shilosky, Trenton Starkweather, and Ryan Vanesse Jr. traded places throughout the 20 lap feature, each taking turns challenging. At the checkers Colin was followed across the line by brother Ryan, then Starkweather, Shilosky, and Allyha DeSomma rounded out the top five.

Shilosky, who spun with 5 to go while challenging for the lead, recovered to finish 4th allowing her to claim the Saturday Series Championship.

In X-cars, Christian Herman claimed victory in less than a tenth of a second over Pete Zaikarite Jr. The two ran side by side for almost the entire event, with Herman able to just pull ahead coming out of the final corner. Hermans victory gave him the Saturday Series Championship for the X-Cars. Ryan Magliano, Jeremy Parker, and Rich Nye completed the top 5 finishers.

In Super X Cars Bill Rheaume continued his domination of the division, claiming the win and the Saturday Series Championship. He took the lead from Ray Reed on a restart with 10 laps to go and never looked back. Reed would finish second, with Sean Skinner, Devin Tate, and PJ Childs completing the top 5.
