CHRIS PERLEY TAKES FIFTH STRAIGHT WORLD SERIES ISMA 50 AND NINTH OVERALL AT THOMPSON -- Thompson, CT – It wasn’t a tremendous surprise to anyone when Chris Perley pulled the Vic Miller 11 into victory lane on Sunday at Thompson Speedway. After all he’d been there eight times before. His first World Series ISMA 50 win came on Oct. 15, 2000 and he’s only been out of the winner’s circle at that Connecticut oval three times since. He only took seven laps to move into the frontrunner spot from his 11^th place starting position. His complete domination of the supermodified portion of the famous Thompson World Series is undeniable, as the record books show, but Perley himself can’t quite explain why. READ MORE>>

JOHNNY BENSON JR. PICKS UP SECOND STRAIGHT RACING AGAINST CANCER 100 AT SEEKONK --- Last year Johnny Benson Jr. of NASCAR truck fame, came to Seekonk Speedway for the first time to compete in the ISMA 100. He left Seekonk with his career-first ISMA victory after an exciting battle with Chris Perley to the end of the 1st annual Racing Against Cancer 100. Benson duplicated his feat Sunday at the Cement Palace with a few different adversaries, but an equally awesome run. Benson was able to present the $2500 ISMA check once again to the Racing Against Cancer effort and he also participated in the Cancer Team Walk on Saturday for one fulfilling weekend. READ MORE>>

RUSS WOOD PICKS UP SIXTH STAR CLASSIC WIN LEADING ALL THE WAY TYING BENTLEY WARREN’S RECORD

Epping, NH – A huge throng of fans turned out to watch the rebirth of the traditional Star Classic and they weren’t disappointed. It was a classic race!  And, it was a perfect day for Russ Wood at Star Speedway Saturday. He led all 150 green flag laps, collecting the lion’s share of the over $10,000 in lap money and bonuses, plus the $5,000 winner’s share of the purse. It had not been a great year for the Holbrook-Wood team until then, with a blown motor almost keeping Wood out of a race he’d won five times over the years. READ MORE>>

It was his sixth ISMA victory at the Lee USA oval since ISMA racing began at the New Hampshire oval in 1988. Starting twelfth in the field, Perley had a long road ahead, especially with early leader and 3-time Lee winner Russ Wood out front at the start.

TWO FOR TWO FOR LIQUID LOU

Delaware, Ont. – “Liquid” Lou Cicconi proved Saturday night at Delaware that he really enjoyed driving the Vic Miller 11 by winning the second leg of the ISMA series at the Canadian half-mile. Cicconi tracked down an equally awesome-running Johnny Benson Jr. in the 75-lapper and passed him on lap 30 but a caution negated the pass and Benson reclaimed the lead, which he would hold until the late stages of the event.

8/5/11:LOU CICCONI BRINGS VIC MILLER 11 INTO VICTORY LANE AT DELAWARE FRIDAY NIGHT- London, Ont – It’s not unusual to see the Vic Miller 11 in victory lane after an ISMA race. After all, it’s been there quite a number of times over the years. But, Friday night at Delaware Speedway, what was unusual was the driver climbing out from behind the wheel was Lou Cicconi Jr., not Chris Perley.  Cicconi, subbing for Perley, took the lead of the 35-lap event from Jeff Locke appropriately on lap 11, and was never headed.

CHRIS PERLEY TRACKS DOWN RAY GRAHAM FOR THE OSWEGO ISMA ROC WIN FRIDAY NIGHT- Oswego, NY – Chris Perley stealthfully stalked down a high-flying Ray Graham Jr. Friday night at Oswego to take his sixth career winged win at the “Steel Palace.” Perley, starting 12^th in the 26-car ISMA field, was working his way forward in the early going when Ray Graham, who started 14^th, blew by the 11 on the outside on an early restart. Graham was flying by car after car and was a half-track ahead of everyone soon after taking the lead on lap 10. - READ MORE>>
