Todd Szegedy found a home in the offseason with Bob Garbarino’s No. 4 Mystic Missile Racing. And Szegedy repaid them by returning the car to victory lane at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday afternoon.
Szegedy’s No. 4 Montanari Fuel Dodge held off the field in a four-lap sprint to win the Andy Blacksmith 100 presented by Donate Life New England. It was the 19th career NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour win and fourth at New Hampshire for the 39-year-old from Ridgefield, Connecticut, but his first since September of 2013.
Szegedy gave Garbarino his seventh win at New Hampshire.
Starting fifth, Szegedy battled up front all day while leading 22 laps. He was able to fend off runner-up Donny Lia and third-place Bobby Santos after a late-race caution set up the final dash as he beat Lia to the line by .041 seconds.
Patrick Emerling and Ron Silk rounded out the top five.
Ryan Preece finished sixth ahead of Woody Pitkat, Eric Goodale, Keith Rocco and Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender Chase Dowling.
Preece, who entered the event tied with Doug Coby atop the championship points standings, now leads Pitkat by four points and Szegedy by 19.
Coby won the Coors Light Pole Award earlier in the day and led 12 laps in the first half of the race. However, he was caught up in a multi-car incident following the second-half restart on lap 55 and wound up finishing 30th. He dropped to fourth in points, 25 behind Preece.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour returns to action next Saturday, July 25, for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 200 at Monadnock Speedway.
