Boston Louie Honors For Payne
|
The tape
continues to raise havoc in the
Northeastern Midget Association. Randy
Cabral was the latest victim Saturday
night, his apparent victory in the
Wirtgen America Boston Louie Memorial at
Waterford Speedway lost to a “too wide”
violation in tech.
Joey Payne Jr., who finished several
lengths behind Cabral, wound up with the
$1,200 win. Gene Angelillo became the
first two-time Boston Louie winning car
owner.
“I screwed up,” admitted Cabral who had
changed a right rear just prior to the
feature believing there was no change in
rim width. “I can’t blame anybody. It is
my fault.” He was looking to become the
first two-time Louie winner, having
prevailed in 2000.
Payne called the outcome “ridiculous.”
It was the second time the point leader
has been “gifted” this year, an
identical situation happening earlier at
Star Speedway. It was the third time
it’s happened this season, Bobby Santos
III the loser at Thompson Speedway.
“Randy drove his butt off,” said Payne,
who spent most of the race nursing a
blistering right rear. “Nobody likes to
win this way, especially the Boston
Louie.”
Running third on a lap three restart,
Cabral took second from his father Glen
and, a couple laps later, got by Sean
Cassie, the only other leader, heading
into three. “He just pinched up a little
bit and gave me the room,” explained
Cabral. He proceeded to get away from a
Payne-Caisse battle behind him.
Payne’s final shot came on a restart
with six laps left. On the green Cabral
powered into turn one and came out of
two with a lead. “It was the only shot I
had,” said Payne. “He went in pretty
hard and it stuck down there.”
“I just held on,” said Cabral. “I really
thought Joey was going to get me.”
Payne, who “tried to slow down to
protect the tire”, took second from
Caisse six laps earlier in the
backstretch. “By lap 10 I knew I had
tire trouble,” he said. “I had to be
careful.”
Ben Seitz wound up with runner-up honors
followed by Caisse, Tim Heath and Glen
Cabral in the top five. Adam Cantor,
Drew Fornoro, Ed Breault, Pete
Pernesiglio and Gary Halteman completed
the top 10.
It was a “sweep” for Payne who also
captured the Jeff Gordon Dash (worth
$200), passing Glen Cabral going under
the white flag. Caisse and Glen Cabral
won the A.J Foyt and Tony Stewart heats
respectively, each worth $100. Payne,
Caisse and Cabral all received autograph
memorabilia as well. Payne also
collected the Mario Andretti Hard
Charger Award ($100).
