Legend Cars and Bandolero winners receive starting spot in national race
A big award awaits two winners at
Waterford Speedbowl’s event this Saturday, July 20. The three-eighths
mile shoreline oval hosts INEX national qualifier events for its Legend
Cars and Bandolero divisions. Those events join a racing card of NASCAR
Whelen All-American Series races as the Speedbowl returns to action
following a scheduled night off last Saturday. Each race winner in the
Legend Cars and Bandoleros will receive a guaranteed starting position in
the divisions respective Asphalt Nationals events, put on by their
sanctioning body, INEX.
The Legend Cars will compete in a 50-lap feature Saturday to send off the
winner. A strong field is expected to turnout for the prestigious win.
Lake Erie Speedway in Pennsylvania hosts the 2013 Legends Asphalt
Nationals September 12-15. Nearly 200 teams are expected for the
nationals, arguably the biggest event of the season for the division.
Even more of a reason to believe the Speedbowl qualifier will bear close
watching is the proximity and likeness of Lake Erie to the Speedbowl. A
banner field of Legend Cars is expected Saturday for the chance to advance
to the Asphalt Nationals.
“We have strong reason to believe we will be well represented at the
Asphalt Nationals given the event is as close to us as its been in a long
time, plus Lake Erie and Waterford are similar - semi-banked three-eighths
mile ovals” offered Speedbowl owner Terry Eames. “Given the stature of
that event and the turnout, a win Saturday at the Speedbowl will be huge
for one of our teams”.
The 2013 Bandolero Nationals will be held in August at Bethel Motor
Speedway just over the border in New York state. That event is equally
attractive as several Speedbowl race teams have competed at Bethel in the
past. Saturday’s Bandolero national qualifier at the Speedbowl will see
the teams going 20-laps in distance for the honor.
“One of the great things about racing in our Legend Cars or Bandoleros is
the chance to represent the Speedbowl on a national level” according to
Eames. “The folks at INEX have a great format and we’re excited to send
our race winners off on behalf of everyone involved in the two divisions
at our track”.
Joining those two events on Saturday will be the return of NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series racing to the shoreline. The SK Modified® leads the
way with a 35-lap feature. Last time out, Tyler Chadwick of Ledyard
outdueled Keith Rocco of Meriden in a memorable event by the division.
They will be joined by 25-lap races for the SK Light Modifieds, Street
Stocks and Mini Stocks. Main events begin at 7:00pm. A detailed event
schedule and more information can be found online at Speedbowl.com.
