Cicconi Takes ISMA Opener at Albany-Saratoga Speedway

Pennsylvania’s “Liquid” Lou Cicconi piloted the Rick Wentworth-owned No. 10 supermodified into victory lane Sunday, capturing the checkered flag in a 50-lap International Super Modified Association (ISMA) event at the newly paved Albany-Saratoga Speedway.

The event – full of firsts – was both ISMA’s season opener and maiden visit to the Malta, N.Y. track. Despite the fact that snowflakes had been flying across the Empire State earlier in the week, sunny skies and 80-degree temperatures allowed the former dirt track to fly something a little more seasonal – its first checkered flag of the year.

Having started ninth, Cicconi took the lead away from sophomore driver Dave Duggan with an inside move heading into turn three following a mid-race restart. ISMA Champions Chris Perley and Mike Ordway chased the race leader to the finish. Cicconi, who earned 15th-place in points and visited victory lane once in 2009, was never seriously challenged after taking the lead, despite loosing half of his braking power.
