June 10th (June 10, 2011 Stafford Springs, CT)---In the 20-lap SK Light Modified feature event, Zach Aszklar took the early lead ahead of Earl Pelletier, Dylan Kopec,and Harry Wheeler.Tommy Barrett was on the charge as he sliced his way through traffic to move into third behind Pelletier. Barrett went by Pelletier on lap-8 to take over second while Aszklar continued to lead.The action was slowed by the caution with 9 laps complete for a spin by Shayne Prucker in turns 1+2. Aszklar and Barrett were locked in a side by side duel for the lead backunder green. Barrett was able to get by Aszklar in the outside groove just before the action was slowed by the caution flag for a multicar incident involving the cars of Tommy Membrino, Jr., Earl Pelletier, and Frank Cardile, who all spun and came to a stop in the backstretch grass.
On the restart, several cars found the turn 1 wall as Harry Wheeler, Dylan Kopec, Jesse Ruocco, and Cody Gneiting were all involved to bring the
caution back out. Aszklar and Barrett were again side by side for the lead on the restart, but
Steve Greer spun in turn 3 to bring the caution back out with 11 laps complete. On the next restart, Joey Cipriano and Shayne Prucker made
contact in turn 2 with Prucker spinning to bring the caution back out.
On the next restart, Cipriano didn’t come up to speed and Aszklar charged into the lead with Matt Galko and Barrett behind him. Barrett came back
strong and he moved back to the front on lap-14 while Galko settled into third behind Barrett and Aszklar.Barrett began to pull away once he moved into the lead, leaving Aszklar and Galko dueling for second place. Galko took the place on lap-19 only to have Aszklar come right back and move back by Galko on the white flag lap.But it was all Barrett at the front as he collected his third win of the 2011season. Aszklar finished second, with Galko, Tony Membrino, Jr. and Bob Charland rounding out the top-5.
