The RaceDayCT Daily Poll is published Monday
through Thursday during racing season
Wednesday, in the late stages of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Thompson 125 at Thomson Speedway Max Zachem and Matt Swanson looked ready for a showdown battle to see who could get their first series victory.
In the end, former series champion Bobby Santos was able to use lap 123 restart to pass both of them and score the victory.
The finish saw Zachem scoring his second runner-up finish in the last three events and the 16-year old Swanson recording a career best finish in just his 10th series start.
It’s a hefty crop of upstart teams and drivers this year with the series like hasn’t been seen in years. So question is, which driver will score his first series victory before the season is over? Tell us below.
They are all very impressive. Don’t be surprised when more than one of them gets their first win this season.
Max didn’t have the best car when he finished 2nd at the bowl but last night he had a winning car and would have won if not for late cautions by some sub par drivers in the back.The way that young man handled many restarts and the smarts to start inside or outside to put his closest competition behind a slower starter was brilliant.From what I saw last night the racing gods owe him one.
well said brian and i dont know if you know them but a great bunch of guys a class act.
