SEEKONK, Mass. — Lou Cicconi, Jr. has quickly become the man to beat in Northeastern Midget Ass’n action at Seekonk Speedway.
The veteran open-wheeler posted his second consecutive midget feature victory at the famed “Cement Palace” Saturday night. Cicconi, who started fourth, took the lead on lap two, then went on to hold off a hungry Adam Cantor on a pair of early-race restarts before cruising to the checkers.
Cantor finished second and Ben Seitz stayed on pace for an unprecedented fourth-straight NEMA championship with a third-place finish.
Greg Stoehr and Joey Payne rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Lou Ciconni, Jr., Adam Cantor, Ben Seitz, Greg Stoehr, Joey Payne, Mike Horn, Randy Cabral, John Zych, Jr., Nokie Fornoro, Shan Hammond, Erica Santos, Jeff Horn, Cory Cleary, Rich Gerbe, Chris Leonard, Pete Pernesiglio, Jeff Zuidema, Shawn Torrey, Paul Luggelle, Steve Powers, Jeremy Frankoski, Paul Scally, Mike Keeler, B.J.
