CARQUEST
BELTS & HOSE TO KICK OFF FALL FINAL PIT PARTY
WITH REUSABLE BAG GIVEAWAY |
|
 As
a special bonus for this year’s CARQUEST Belts & Hose Pit Party
during the 38th Annual CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend on Sunday,
October 3rd, the first 700 fans through the Pit Party gates will
receive a reusable bag compliments of CARQUEST Auto Parts. The
CARQUEST Belts and Hose Pit Party allows race fans to meet and greet
the drivers of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour along with the
drivers from Stafford’s five NASCAR Whelen All-American Series
racing divisions.
Stafford Motor Speedway and CARQUEST Auto Parts will prolong the
celebration of 25 years of partnership through the famed CARQUEST
Belts and Hose Pit Party. The 38th Annual CARQUEST Fall Final
Weekend will mark the 38th Whelen Modified Tour event to be held at
Stafford with title sponsorship from CARQUEST Auto Parts. CARQUEST
Auto Parts began sponsoring the CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend in 1995,
and from 1996 through 2000, the Whelen Modified Tour event was a
300-lap extravaganza with 5 different winners in 5 races.
In 2001, the Spring Sizzler became the Tech-Net Spring Sizzler to
better promote CARQUEST’s Tech-Net Professional Auto Service and
Tech-Net also became the title sponsor of Stafford’s two pit parties
that season. The Tech-Net designation gave way to CARQUEST’s Belts
and Hose line and Stafford’s pit parties continue to flourish with
the support of CARQUEST Auto Parts.
Another special giveaway will be at Whelen Modified Tour Sunoco
Rookie of the Year candidate Richie Pallai, Jr.’s car. Fans that
stop by the #39 Bosch Spark Plugs car will receive a complimentary
CARQUEST tee-shirt.
Pallai is currently 5 points behind Justin Bonsignore in the race
for the 2010 Rookie of the Year honors and he heads into New
Hampshire this weekend in 15th place in the 2010 Whelen Modified
Tour points standings.
This year’s CARQUEST Belts & Hose Pit Party will also have a special
presentation. During the 2010 NASCAR season at Stafford Motor
Speedway, Ted Christopher has been racing to help beat breast
cancer. For each victory that Christopher records this season at
Stafford, he will donate $100 and he will donate $1 for every lap he
completes at Stafford this season to Breast Cancer Research in
Connecticut. For every dollar that Christopher contributes to the
Race To The Finish To Beat Breast Cancer, Stafford Motor Speedway
will match Christopher’s total. Christopher and Stafford’s donation
total currently stands at $3,460. With three more races on the 2010
schedule, Christopher can add another $1,060 to that total if he can
win all three races. Christopher will make a check presentation to
representatives of The Race to the Finish to Beat Breast Cancer
during the CARQUEST Belts & Hose Pit Party.
The CARQUEST Belts and Hose Pit Party has been a Stafford Motor
Speedway tradition for over 20 years, offering fans a unique
perspective to not only meet and greet with their favorite drivers,
but to get up close and personal with their favorite racecars as
well. Stafford Motor Speedway hosts two CARQUEST Belts and hose Pit
Parties each season, once at the season opening CARQUEST Tech-Net
Spring Sizzler Weekend and once during the season ending CARQUEST
Fall Final Weekend.
