In the press box Griswold said: “The kid is a good driver, but I don’t know why in the hell he gave me the top side of the race track,” Griswold said. “… He was getting looser and looser as the race went on, so I think he was trying to protect at that point. And we just had a stout racecar again.”
A seasoned veteran Glenn Griswold #60 who calls Vernon, Conn. home who competes weekly in the Sk Lite's at all three Connecticut short tracks nick named " The War Horse" applied his skill in four races at Thompson today. First in the Sunoco Sk 20( 4th)/20 (5th)/10 (3rd) and in his number #27 Sunoco Sk mod and one race to victory lane in his Sk Lite #60 with a fantastic duel with Christopher Veins # 33 from Putnam, Conn. A short field of seven cars was fulfilling for the race fans because of the fantastic duel between Viens and Griswold for 6 laps. Just like Mohegan Sun when a poker player say's he' ( All In) Veins did the same thing diving low on the apron for the win on the last lap and he did not get the right turn and did a 360 spin while Griswold celebrated and the remainder of the field moved up a position. I asked Griswold in the press box about the car count and he thought some of his other regular competitors were going to make the trip but had damage from the two previous nights racing and short budgets at this time of the racing season. Bert Ouellette in the #151 came over after a very good career in the New England Truck Series and stood in victory lane at this track and is coming along just fine in the SK Lite and brings it home is one piece to the delight of his owners.
