Noll has Luck- Wins in Speedbowl Trucks
WATERFORD — Duane Noll of Monroe believes in multi-tasking. He’s a driver in the Speedbowl Truck Division at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl. He’s the crew chief. He’s the sponsor.

Bennett enjoys a legendary season at the Speedbowl
WATERFORD — It wasn’t how Peter Bennett opened the 2018 New London-Waterford Speedbowl Saturday Legends season, but how he closed it that counted. On opening day, he almost didn’t start the race because of a failed ignition switch. Although he had to start the 25-lap feature at the rear of the field, he rallied to finish fourth, an indication of the skill he had of weaving his way through traffic. It was a skill he used quite often during the remainder [...]

My fellow competitors reached out to me early and [...]
Long shot becomes big shot Gaedeke surprises everyone to win Speedbowl Sportsman title
WATERFORD — Shawn Gaedeke started the 2018 New London-Waterford Speedbowl season off the radar screen.

In only his second Sportsman season, Gaedeke grabbed three wins, spent almost the entire season finishing in the Top 4 or better [...]

He knew what he had to do, however, to change that statistic. “We needed to find one thing that no one else had found,” Flannery said. Once he found it, he also found victory lane. And he [...]
