Speedbowl honors Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday competitors with awards ceremony

Waterford, CT (September 26, 2012) – Waterford Speedbowl hosted its annual
awards ceremony for its Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday racing program Wednesday
evening, recognizing several drivers for their accomplishments during the
season. The popular mid-week race program completed its 12th consecutive
season of affordable racing and entertainment. Approximately 200 guests
attended the ceremony, held on speedway grounds under the hospitality
tent. The top-five drivers from each of the series’ four divisions -
Legend Cars, Bandoleros, Super X-Cars and X-Cars – were recognized along
with special awards given to the top rookie drivers, the Most Improved
Driver and a Sportsmanship award in each division.

Dave Garbo Jr. of Stonington was presented the championship trophies for
the INEX Legend Cars division. In total Garbo won six feature races on
the Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday season, coming over the final 11 races.
Bandolero honors went to Rachel Forte of Douglas, MA for the second
consecutive year, the first repeat champion in the youth division and only
repeat titlist in 2012. Jim Boyle of East Windsor and Scott Limkemann of
East Lyme were honored as champions in the Super X-Car and X-Car
divisions, respectively. Each won their first career title in just their
third year of competitive racing on any level.

Rookie of the Year honors for the top first-year drivers in their
respective divisions were given to Daniel Stolte of Northbridge, MA in the
Legend Cars, Andrew Morin of Old Saybrook in the Bandoleros, Matt Carlson
of Griswold in the Super X-Cars and Mitchell Bombard of Jewett City in the
X-Cars.

The Most Improved Driver awards acknowledged competitors that showed a
progression of their skills behind the wheel from either a year ago or
from the start of the race season. Legend Car accolades went to Joey
Ternullo of Middletown, while A.J. Eastman of Fishers Island took the
award for the Bandoleros. Kevin Moon from Exeter, RI won the honor in the
Super X-Cars, a year after his father won the same award in 2011. Wayne

Sportsmanship Awards were given out to Nicholas Sowa of Middletown in
Legend Cars, Corey Comeroski of Lebanon for the Bandoleros, Ed Ryan of

Each driver was recognized for their support of the Wild ‘n Wacky
Wednesday program through a level of professionalism on and off the track.

A buffet dinner plus an evening of music and entertainment capped the event.
