WATERFORD – It must be the wax.

In the mind of Waterford Speedbowl driver Ken Cassidy Jr. clean is fast, and clearly Cassidy’s car has been very clean this year.

For the sixth time in seven events this year it was Cassidy, of Lisbon, celebrating in victory lane following the 25-lap Mini Stock feature at the Waterford Speedbowl.

“Every week, I can’t say it enough, that thing is awesome,” Cassidy said. “I’m just trying to keep the thing in once piece every week.”

Ian Brew of Wood River Junction, R.I. was second and Jeffrey Cembruch of Wallingford third.

Cassidy went by Charles Canfield for the lead with 12 laps left and never trailed again.

As is usually the case, Cassidy posed for post race winner’s photo’s in front of sparkling clean ride.

“Everybody always busts me because I wax it every week,” Cassidy said. “You can’t put anything on it because it slides right off. They say ‘That’s why it goes so fast.’ It’s just the certain things that I have to do. Every Friday night the car gets waxed and cleaned, 100 percent. It’s always been that way. Ever since I started I always say a clean car is a fast car. Something in my head, it’s a mojo thing.”
