HARLEY-DAVIDSON RENEWS TITLE SPONSORSHIP OF MEMORIAL DAY
WEEKEND
WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR EVENT AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY |
Stafford Motor Speedway has announced that for the third consecutive season,
the track’s Memorial Day Weekend Whelen Modified Tour event will be
sponsored by TSI Harley-Davidson, the oldest Harley-Davidson and Buell
dealer in the state of Connecticut. The 20th Annual TSI Harley-Davidson 125
will be held on Friday, May 28th at Stafford. The race sponsorship continues
a relationship that dates back to the 2004 season when TSI Harley-Davidson
sponsored a NASCAR Camping World East Series event at the Connecticut
half-mile.
“We enjoy being at Stafford, it’s a great track to be involved
with, and we’re looking forward to another great Whelen Modified Tour race,”
said Harry Levesque, Owner of TSI Harley-Davidson. “Stafford has been a
great place for us to showcase our Harley-Davidson and Buell bikes to race
fans.” TSI Harley-Davidson is a full service Harley-Davidson and Buell
dealership, with parts, service, and accessories. TSI Harley-Davidson has
been in operation since 1968, making it the oldest Harley-Davidson dealer in
Connecticut. TSI Harley-Davidson has two branches located in Ellington and
Columbia.
TSI Harley-Davidson has also been a longstanding partner with
Stafford race teams. For the 2010 season, TSI Harley-Davidson can be seen on
the cars of Jeff Malave and Woody Pitkat in the SK Modified® division, Ryan
Posocco and Michael Bennett in the Late Model division, and Matt Galko in
the SK Light Modified division. TSI Harley-Davidson’s Columbia location can
be seen on the SK Modified® car of Sean Foster as well as the Limited Late
Model car of Dan Flannery.
“We’re happy to have TSI Harley-Davidson back with us for another
season,” said Mark Arute, SMS COO/GM. “Their level of support to both the
track and competitors over the last 5 seasons here at Stafford has been just
awesome. TSI Harley-Davidson has been an invaluable partner to Stafford
Speedway working with both the track as well as the competitors.”
The TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has developed a reputation as one of
top stops on the Whelen Modified Tour calendar. The TSI Harley-Davidson 125
has seen last lap passes for the win as well as duels for victory between
some of the best drivers on the Tour. Tour champions Donny Lia, Ted
Christopher, and Tony Hirschman have all tasted the fruits of victory in the
TSI Harley-Davidson 125, and last year’s race saw Jimmy Blewett dominate the
race, but he had to fend off a hard charging Ted Christopher in the closing
laps to take the win.
TSI Harley-Davidson’s Ellington store is located at 398 Somers
Road, and their Columbia store can be found at 8 Commerce Drive. TSI
Harley-Davidson’s Ellington store can be contacted by phone at 860-875-6663
