JIMMY “PEPE” SILVIA USES THE OUTSIDE LANE TO RETURN TO SPORTSMAN VICTORY LANE

SEEKONK, Mass. — For the first time in more than a decade, Jimmy “Pepe” Silvia was back in Victory Lane on Saturday night at Seekonk Speedway. Silvia used the third, and fourth groove - in only his style - to work the top around just about everyone who tried to challenge him during the 25-lap feature in the Helger's Sportsman.


Surely exciting for the fans, Silvia made it all work. He held off a hard charge from Colby Lambert to rocket his familiar entry back to the winner’s circle. Colby Lambert chased his way through the back and came with a strong second-place finish, while Joe Kohler followed in third. Steve Axon and previous week’s winner Gerry DeGasparre Jr. rounded out the top-five.


Josh Hedges, Ed Perry, Jeremy Lambert, Tyler Almeida and Nick Wood finished the top-10.


The Helger’s Sportsman will be back on the track on Saturday, August 10, for the finale of the Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series. For more information on Seekonk Speedway, visit SeekonkSpeedway.com and follow the track on social media for the latest news and updates.
