With the Modified
Racing Series making its debut appearance at Stafford
Motor Speedway on Friday, Sept. 10th, it is in the
midst of its most competitive season with 10 different
winners in 12 races and a tight points race. There
was a palpable buzz in the air when the Stafford
race was announced back in December and the buzz
has picked up steam as the race approaches with
such an exciting points race and the number of different
feature winners.
2004 was the 20th season of the Stafford Motor Speedway
/ CARQUEST Auto Parts relationship. CARQUEST Auto
Parts continued their NASCAR Touring division support
by sponsoring the Whelen Modified Tour Spring Sizzler
and CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend. CARQUEST Auto Parts
also brought the ISMA Supermodified cars to Stafford
for the Inaugural CARQUEST Extreme Wednesday event.
The race has since moved to Tuesday, but CARQUEST
Auto Parts has brought the ISMA Supers to Stafford
every year since along with the NEMA Midgets and
Pro-4 Modifieds. CARQUEST also continued their support
of Stafford's weekly divisions with a $150 bonus
to each SK Modified® feature winner and a $125 bonus
to each Late Model feature winner.
Track
champions were Ted Christopher in the SK Modified®
division, Ryan Posocco in the Late Model division,
and Kevin Gambacorta was the inaugural DARE Stock
track champion.
