Pasteryak picks up home track win

Chris Pasteryak was pretty animated in victory lane at Waterford Speedbowl.
And why shouldn't he have been.
Pasteryak, who ran in the Legends and S-K modified divisions at Waterford, returned to the Bowl as a True-Value Modified driver and captured his first win in the Division.
In fact, he not only captured the win, he blew away the field.
The Lisbon driver opened up a full-stretch lead over Kirk Alexander when the 100-lap race went green for 36 laps. A caution flag on lap 96 didn't help but Pasteryak took off on the rest of the field in the single-file restart and took his first checkered flag.
"It doesn't get any better than this," Pasteryak told track announcer Matt Buckler in victory lane.
Buckler then asked Pasteryak how he was able to make the move off the restart.
"The car was great, weren't you watching," Pasteryak said with a big grin to Buckler.
After that, Pasteryak proceeded to douse his pit crew and other supporters in victory lane with champagne.
