STARS OF TRI-TRACK
SERIES HEAD TO SEEKONK SPEEDWAY FOR ANNUAL OPEN WHEEL WEDNESDAY ON JUNE 27
Seekonk,
Mass. (June 15, 2018): The second race of the 2018 Tri-Track Open Modified
Series (TTOMS) season is set for Wednesday, June 27 at Seekonk Speedway in
Seekonk, MA. Open Wheel Wednesday is one
of the most prominent races on the annual short track racing schedule in New
England. The $10,000 to win tour-type modified event for the Tri-Track Open
Modified Series continues to attract a variety of different drivers and a host
of fans. The evening also includes the prestigious Boston Louie Seymour
Memorial event for the Northeastern Midget Association.
Open Wheel
Wednesday features 100 laps of green flag racing for the tour-type Modifieds
with the winner earning $10,000. Both the NEMA Midgets and the NEMA Lights go
29 laps in honor of Boston Louis Seymour.
Grandstands open at 4pm. Fans are
invited to participate in an autograph session on the midway at 5:30pm with all
drivers in competition on Wednesday night.
Qualifying
gets underway at 6:30pm with heat races for all divisions followed by a pair of
Modified b-mains (if necessary). Feature racing will commence immediately
following qualifying. General admission is $27 and pit admission is $37. A rain
date has been set for Thursday, June 28.
A host of
previous Open Wheel Wednesday winners have filed entries for this year’s event
including multi-time winner Matt Hirschman, Kirk Alexander, Tommy Barrett, Richard
Savary and hometown favorite Todd Annarummo. Barrett would like to parlay his
recent victory in open Modified series competition at Stafford into victory; joining
Hirschman and Doug Coby as the only multi-time winners.
In the
Seekonk 150 back on June 2, Anthony Nocella was running inside the top-five
when misfortune found him; ending his bid at a win. The young driver looks to turn disappointment
into triumph and possibly $10,000 during Open Wheel Wednesday.
“[That race]
definitely gave me more confidence,” said Nocellla. “Between the run we had in
October in the Tri-Track races and that race, it definitely gives us some
momentum and confidence going back to Seekonk again. Hopefully we have another
strong run.”
Also, at the
race back in October 2017, Russ Hersey looked like he may have had the best
chance to beat Matt Hirschman before a spin while running second ended his bid
at a win. He, too, is among the over 40 drivers who have preregistered for the
event.
Four of the
top-five finishers in the Seekonk 150, Chase Dowling, Hirschman, Rowan Pennink,
and Ron Silk, will also be looking to follow-up their strong performances with victory.
Other notables looking for the big payday include Ryan Preece, Derek Ramstrom, Woody
Pitkat, Les Hinckley, Stephen Masse and more.
