No Sophomore Jinx For Civali
THOMPSON, Conn. (April 22, 2007) - James
Civali of Meriden, Conn. held off a last lap charge by Chuck Hossfeld
of Buffalo, N.Y. to capture the opening race of the 2007 NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour season. Civali’s victory in the Icebreaker at Thompson International
Speedway was his second career win. His last victory occurred at Stafford Motor
Speedway in August of 2006.
Civali, the 2006 Sunoco Rookie of the Year, started the event
in the 11th position in the Ramar Hall Chevrolet and took over the top spot from
Donny Lia on lap 98. He swapped the lead with John Blewett, II before regaining
it on lap 110 and never relinquished it. A green-white-checkered finish set up
by a late race caution allowed Hossfeld, in the Hill Enterprises/ Coors Light
Pontiac, the opportunity to make his bid for the win. He fell short of Civali
by .26 seconds. The race distance was extended to 152 laps.
Ronnie Silk of Norwalk, Conn. earned his best career
finish with a third place showing in the Major Motion/Silk Plumbing and Heating
Chevrolet. Jimmy Blewett of Howell, N.J. finished fourth in the T.S Haulers/United
Crane Chevrolet and also earned the Featherlite Most Improved driver Award. Matt
Hirschman of Northampton, Pa. rounded out the Top-5 in the Furnace and Duct Dodge.
Ted Christopher led the first 23 laps before Lia took over the top
spot on lap 24. Lia, who tried to run the event without stopping for tires, held
the lead until Civali passed him on 98.
Eric Beers earned the Powerade Power Move
of the Race and Bobby Grigas was the Sunoco Rookie of the Race.
The next event for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is the Tech-Net Spring Sizzler
on April 29.
