WATERFORD – Greg Stoehr inherited the lead with 17 laps remaining and never let go.
Stoehr drove away from Randy Cabral over the closing laps to easily win the 30-lap Northeastern Midget Association Marvin Rifchin Trophy race at the NEMA’s 60th Anniversary celebration Saturday at the Waterford Speedbowl.
Stoehr, of Bridgewater, Mass., far behind leader Anthony Marvuglio when the caution flew with 17 laps left. Marvuglio suffered a flat under caution, giving Stoehr the lead.
“He was going good but I think I would have had something for Anthony tonight,” Stoehr said. “We would have needed a yellow, but we definitely had something for him.”
Cabral, of Plymouth, Mass., was second and John Zych Jr. of Liverpool, N.Y. third.
“We had a good car right out of the trailer tonight,” Stoehr said. “We changed one thing for the second practice and I changed it back. The track was right on for us. Best racecar I ever sat in here for us tonight.”
Said Cabral: “Greg was the class of the field. I knew I was a second place car.”
