How Did New England Drivers Do South Of The Border… Other Notes

by Lou ModestinoJune 17, 2025

Shane Van Gisbergen won the first Cup race at Mexico City. Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT came in 15^th while Joey Logano of Middletown, CT finished in 21st position.

Daniel Suarez won the Mexico City Xfinity race before a cheering crowd. Kris Wright came in 17^th while Anthony Alfredo of Ridgefield, CT was 21st. Kris Wright drives the Chris and Mary Our entry. The father and daughter team owners reside on Cape Cod and receive their mail in Chatham, MA.

Note: It was nice to be able to watch the F1 race in Montreal and the Indy Car race in E. St. Louis and the Le Mans Endurance race in France on TV over the weekend. Again, we have to let NASCAR know that it was not at all pleasant to miss the Amazon-Prime Mexico race because we could not find a way to receive the broadcast. Nor did I and the rest of the fans, along with some of the media, feel very pressured by the sanction to spend the extra money, beyond the cable TV charges, when in previous years, we did not have to make this payment.

MARNE, Mich. — When the 2025 season began for Treyten Lapcevich, he knew it was important to capitalize on every available opportunity.

The ride with Venturini Motorsports that evening was only for one race, which left Lapcevich waiting for the next moment to showcase his talent in the ARCA Menards Series.

by MikeJune 16, 2025

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — Growing up a race fan on Long Island, Justin Bonsignore was drawn to fellow Long Islander Mike Ewanitsko.

For years, no one could claim to be on the same level as Ewanitsko in Modified Tour competition at Riverhead. Now Bonsignore can say he’s surpassed him.

Katherine Legge will compete in her second NASCAR Cup Series race this weekend in Mexico City, a place where she’s won before, albeit in a different car.

In a career in racing that spans more than 25 years, Katherine Legge has driven in dozens of races in all types of different machines.

Pick a car, any car, and the 44-year-old native of Surrey, England, has probably pressed her foot on that pedal as hard as she can. She’s maneuvered it around speedways and short tracks and road courses at dizzying speeds.
