by Lou ModestinoOctober 21, 2024October 21, 2024

WATERFORD – Sean Skinner, Bill Rheaume, and Ben Pollard took off from the Super X-Car field in the early stages, with Skinner setting the pace. On lap 6, trouble with Pollard’s car sent him to the infield as the top two continued to go at it early in the 35 lap special event. The caution flew only once when trouble sidelined Nick Fraulinos machine in a ball of smoke. When the green flag flew, Rheaume got the jump on Skinner and the two rode. Laps clicked down and 2024 Seekonk Pure Stock champion Brent Robidoux worked his t6way into third, taking up Skinners mirror. Skinner made a couple stabs at Rheaume but he couldn’t be faltered. Rheaume picked up the win in his final Super X-Car start, as he announced his intentions to move up to Street Stocks in the 2025 season.
