THOMPSON, Conn. — Ben Seitz fought off the challenges of Greg Stoehr to take Thursday night’s Northeastern Midget Ass’n feature at Thompson Int’l Speedway.
Stoehr took the lead early, but Seitz made his way forward and the pair traded the lead several times before Seitz took control for good on the 18th tour of the five-eighths-mile asphalt oval.
Seitz led the remainder of the 25-lap event, with Stoehr finishing second.
“I almost felt bad beating Greg,” said Seitz. “He had a great car, but my team gave me a great car, too, and my team and I really wanted this win.”
Randy Cabral, Adam Cantor and Tim Heath rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Ben Seitz, Greg Stoehr, Randy Cabral, Adam Cantor, Tim Heath, Joey Payne, Jeff Horn, Mike Horn, Shane Hammond, Chris Leonard, Mike Lugelle, Erica Santos, Cory Cleary, Matt O'Brien, Paul Scally, Steve Powers, Paul Holmstrand, Troy Boissoneau, Paul Luggelle, Kevin Park, Nokie Fornoro, Pete Pernesiglio, Doug Cleveland, Aaron Wall, Mike Roselli, Jeremy Frankoski, Mark Irving, Bobby Kuiken, Lou Ciconni, Jr., Barry Kittredge.
