Ron Silk powered past polesitter Eric Goodale one-third of the way through the New England Cycle Center 161 Saturday at New London-Waterford Speedbowl in Waterford, CT and never looked back.
Silk, of Norwalk, Connecticut, held off the field down the stretch to record his 10th career NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour victory. It was his first at the Speedbowl, and it came in just his third race with new car owner Danny Watts, Jr. and the No. 82 Horton Avenue Materials Chevrolet team.
Max Zachem crossed the stripe second for his best career finish. Jimmy Blewett joined him on the podium in third.
Jeff Goodale and Rob Summers rounded out the top five while Brendon Bock, Matt Swanson, Doug Coby, Donny Lia and Jamie Tomaino completed the top 10.
Saturday also marked career-best finishes for Jeff Goodale and Bock.
Tomaino extended his Whelen Modified Tour record for career starts to 600 in the event.
Silk, the 2011 Whelen Modified Tour titlist, ended a 42-race winless drought with his first victory since August 2012 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
After three events the two-time defending champion Coby leads Timmy Solomito by eight points and Zachem by 15 in the season standings.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will return to action on June 3 at Stafford Motor Speedway for the TSI Harley-Davidson 125.
