Brett Meservey survived multiple restarts to score victory in the 75-lap Milton Cat Modified Racing Series feature Saturday at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl.
It was the third series win of 2024 for Meservey, from Brewster, Mass.
Jacob Perry of Pawcatuck was second and David Arute of Stafford third.
Dylan Izzo and Jon McKennedy rounded out the top-five respectively in the 28-car field. Noah Korner was sixth and Matt Swanson used a seventh place finish to secure his first Modified Racing Series championship.

I don’t like being negative but MRS needs to work on the caution laps being run-especially when a car spins and gets back going. Can’t be on southern time/SMART tour rules and go 7 laps before going back to green. Wish the guys didn’t wreck a lot. Otherwise the Saturday event was great. One of the best NEMA races I’ve ever seen. Hopefully MRS returns to getting races at all three CT tracks in 2025 – best car count was Waterford even with the tour being in NC.
Great race. Perry started last? Passing cars on the bottom for second. What a good run for Arute in third. It’s not like he doesn’t have experience there. It’s where his modified career started. That 76 is fast. Good to see APE and the Perry’s win at their home track. Going to be on the edge of your seat with these points battles on Sunday. And with Charles Beal canned, of course he puts his son in the 30 truck. And Shawn in Beals 55. Chapman better be aware of who’s around him if he wants this championship ?
I noticed when a caution did come out and a car or cars pitted they would give them time too come back out. They also pitted in the “dirt” pits unlike when Tri track is there they in the paved pit which is closer. May be why they run extra caution laps. Maybe not. 30 cars is unheard of his day and age for MRS. Good for them and Waterford. The end of season events at Waterford always brings huge car counts. Last year with over 50 ACT cars. How’s dafella doing? I’m sure he has a heart attack this time of year with these awesome events the the speedbowl.
It’s just the perfect size track – great racing with 2 grooves
