Silk Doubles Down on Mighty Icebreaker Modified Wins with NASCAR Triumph (Full Results)
Thompson, CT — A cool spring breeze complemented the hot, on-track action Wednesday night at Thompson Speedway as the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour finally returned to Connecticut to finish off the 51st Icebreaker festivities.
The SK Light Modifieds started off feature racing on Wednesday night with the #45 of rookie competitor TJ Tomasi climbing the #6 of veteran Todd Douillard under the initial green flag start. Righted after a quick debris clean-up, Nick Hovey and Sami Anderson went head-to-head with Hovey getting the jump off turn two. Veteran John O’Sullivan also slid under Anderson to chase after Hovey as Gerard Giordano entered the picture in fourth. A quick spin caution for rookie Sophya Papp saw O’Sullivan rocket to the restart lead around an ailing Nick Hovey but it was Hovey who powered back with a slingshot move to claim the lead and the win in the final corner. John O’Sullivan settled for second with Sami Anderson taking third after Giordano was disqualified for an unsealed engine.
