Dan Cugini of Marshfield, Mass. won the 25-lap NEMA Lites Angelillo Memorial. Dylan Coutu of Griswold was second and Joe Bailey of Monroe, N.J. third.
still trying to figure out what happened to Anderson ..did he break prior to driving Moeller to the wall ? he (Anderson) was a menace in his heat as well as the feature driving everyone up. no respect. did the rack break or did he just lose control.. ?? Moeller had the car to beat no doubt. pretty good crowd last night as well even with the sail fest deal
Is Sean Foster now part of the management team at the Bowl?
Rafter Fan,
To my knowledge there’s nothing official yet to report on that situation.
Nice crowd. I don’t think running against sailfest mattered much. The Moeller-Anderson incident was bizarre. The nema lites going green to checker was a site to see especially with that many cars. Scary flip in the nema race. Great to see another woman make history at the speedbowl. Now Emma has to content with her cousin in the trucks. Looking forward to watching sids view. I think a drone crashed or got hit. The later start time is nice for the hot summer months. Didn’t work out Saturday though. Don’t know what Foster is doing there. But he’s there. Even on Wednesday doing something that looked official.
