MODIFIED RACING SERIES EVENT AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY |
|
 With
the Modified Racing Series making its debut appearance at Stafford Motor
Speedway for the Shark Cycle 100 on Sept. 10th, the track expects to have 40
modifieds on hand. The expected entry list is made up of a wide variety of
drivers with experience levels at Stafford that range from novice to expert.
Of the 40 drivers expected to vie for one of the 28 starting spots in the
Shark Cycle 100, 15 of them have won a race at Stafford Motor Speedway in
their racing careers. The list of Stafford feature winners that are expected
for the Shark Cycle 100 inlcude Ted Christoper, Ken Barry, Ronnie Silk, Eddy
Spiers, Doug Coby, Dave Etheridge, Norm Wrenn, Keith Rocco, Mike Stefanik,
Shelly Perry, Bobby Santos, III, Jeff Malave, Todd Owen, Ryan Preece, and
Tom Bolles.
There are also several drivers who, although have yet to record a win at
Stafford, have Modified Racing Series feature victories to their credit.
Those drivers include Jacob Dore, Les Hinckley, Rob Goodenough, Todd
Annarummo, Steve Masse, Jack Bateman, Rowan Pennink, Dwight Jarvis, Chris
Pasteryak, Eric Goodale, Jimmy Dolan, Jimmy Kuhn, Jon McKennedy, and Louie
Mechalides.
The mix of Stafford and Modified Racing Series feature winners means that 29
out of the 40 drivers that are expected to try to qualify for the Shark
Cycle 100 know how to find their way into victory lane. There are several
drivers with championship pedigree on their racing resumes. Christopher,
Coby, Rocco, Stefanik, and Perry have all won track championships at
Stafford with Christopher and Stefanik also having Whelen Modified Tour
championships to their credit. Christopher and Rocco are also NASCAR
Whelen-All American Series national champions. Former Modified Racing Series
champions that are entered for the Shark Cycle 100 include McKennedy,
Pasteryak, and Jarvis.
The 2010 championship chase in the Modified Racing Series is one of the
tightest races you will find anywhere in racing. Jon McKennedy, the
defending Modified Racing Series champion, is currently tied with Les
Hinckley for the championship lead with Dwight Jarvis only one point behind
them. Behind Jarvis sits Rowan Pennink, Steve Masse, Ken Barry and Todd
Annarummo, the winners of the past 4 Modified Racing Series events.
Everything adds up to a night of phenomenal modified competition as 40 cars
will vie for 28 starting positions. Drivers will have to qualify for the
100-lap feature event through 12-lap heat races or the last chance 15-lap
consolation race. With qualifying race positions determined by the luck of
the draw, the heat races promise to be a dogfight between an eclectic mix of
modified drivers with a wide range of track experience at Stafford.
