Brockton, MA - Russ Stoehr’s win over Greg in
last Saturday’s Shane Hammond Memorial at Waterford Speedbowl marked
the 20th time in Northeastern Midget Association history brothers
have finished one-two.
The Stoehrs take the sibling rivalry to Monadnock Speedway Saturday
night. Greg, who has won three of the last six races there, rates
among the favorites.
Point leader Randy Cabral, Jeff and Mike Horn, Adam Cantor, Jim
Miller and Erica Santos are contenders in the extra-distance
feature.
Cabral, Todd Bertrand, Bethany Viets and Eddie LeClerc head the
entries for the NEMA Lites feature.
Waterford was the first one-two brother finish since the 1999 Boston
Louie at Seekonk, Bobby Seymour the winner over Mike. The Seymours
did it on nine occasions, Bobby prevailing five times.
NEMA’s most successful brother combination Drew and Nokie Fornoro
were one-two eight times, each winning four.
Russ’ win at Waterford evened things up, Greg coming from deep in
the field to win at the 1993 Thompson World Series.
Father and son have been one-two twice. Johnny Coy Jr. beat son Joey
at Thompson in 1978 and Russ Stoehr bested father Paul at Star
Speedway in 1990. |
