NARDELLI NABS FIRST CHECKERED FLAG OF THE YEAR AT
BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY
Bridgeport, NJ (August 10, 2013) – On the quarter
mile track at
Bridgeport Speedway, Lee Nardelli nabbed his first checkered
flag of
the year by topping the field in the IPM Pest Management 600cc
Micro-Sprint feature. RJ Magyari was the victor in the 270cc
Micro-Sprint main event. Cheri LaClaire collected her first career win
in the 4-Cylinder Enduro Car race.
In the 20-lap IPM Pest Management
600cc Micro-Sprint feature, Lee
Nardelli came from his eighth starting
position to win his first race
of the season. When the contest got
underway, Sam Locuson hopped out
to the lead. In the opening moments of the
event, a terrific battle
for second place was occurring with Stephen
Kemery, Jon Keller, and
Nardelli in tight quarters. Following a caution
period on the third
circuit, Sam Locuson was still setting the pace with
Nardelli in the
runner-up spot. On lap 11, the top two were side by side
when the
yellow lights illuminated the track as Sammy Lamothe’s ride
stopped in
the fourth corner. As action got back underway, Sam Locuson and
Nardelli held onto their positions. With five tours remaining, the top
two were distancing themselves from the pack and Nardelli was inching
closer to the leader. On lap 18, Nardelli darted below Sam Locuson at
the entrance of the third corner and escaped with the lead. In the
final two revolutions, Nardelli sped away to claim his first win of
the
year. With Sam Locuson taking second, Jon Keller finished in
third. Fourth
place was taken by Andrew Locuson and Bill Thomas
completed the event in
fifth. The heat races for the IPM Pest
Management 600cc Micro-Sprints were
won by Lee Nardelli and Andrew
Locuson.
RJ Magyari took advantage of
some misfortune to win the 20-lap 270cc
Micro-Sprint main event. After the
original start was hindered by a
multi-car tangle, Jon Keller took the lead
on the second try with
Magyari and John Blanda in tow. At the halfway
point, Keller had an
advantage that was greater than a full straightaway.
Unfortunately on
the white flag lap with a huge margin, Keller clipped the
inside wall
in turn two and spun out. After the mishap, Magyari inherited
the lead
and held off Blanda on the ensuing restart to gain the win. Tyler
Reinhardt finished in third. Andrew Locuson and Joe Dopke rounded out
the top five. Tyler Reinhardt and Richie Keller recorded victories in
the qualifying events for the 270cc Micro-Sprints.
In the 20-lap
feature for the 4-Cylinder Enduro Cars, Cheri LaClaire
claimed her first
career victory after leading the race from start to
finish. The runner-up
spot went to Warren Stradley. Todd Francis, John
Webster, and Art Knapp
completed the top five finishers.

secure family atmosphere, free
