CARQUEST
BELTS & HOSE PIT PARTY TO KICK OFF SUNDAY ACTIVITITES
DURING CARQUEST FALL FINAL WEEKEND AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY |
|
 The
CARQUEST Belts & Hose Pit Party is a Stafford Motor
Speedway tradition that is entering into its third
decade of existence, with the very first Pit Party
taking place during CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend on
September 30, 1990. The CARQUEST Belts and Hose Pit
Party tradition will continue at Stafford on Sunday,
October 2nd as part of the 39th Annual CARQUEST Fall
Final Weekend pre-race festivities.
The CARQUEST Belts & Hose Pit Party is a meet and
greet session that allows
race fans to get up close and personal with their
favorite drivers and cars. The NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour cars and drivers as well as cars and
drivers from Stafford’s five NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series will fill the frontstretch
infield from 11am-12 noon on Sunday, Oct. 2nd prior
to the day’s feature events, consisting of the SK
Modified®, Late Model, and NASCAR Whelen Modified
Tour races.
As part of the CARQUEST Belts and Hose festivities,
Richie Pallai, Jr. will be giving away CARQUEST
Belts and Hose tee-shirts for a $5 donation to
benefit the Danbury Animal Welfare Society. Danbury
Animal Welfare Society is the charity that Pallai
raced for as part of the CARQUEST Champions For
Charities race that was held in June as part of the
CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday program.
The 1990 CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend was the first
time that a pit party was held at a weekly NASCAR
track as part of pre-race festivities. As the
CARQUEST Belts & Hose Pit Party gained in popularity
throughout the years, the concept has spread to
other area tracks and today the pit party is a
mainstay in allowing race fans unique access to
their favorite drivers and cars.
