2016 SEASON
KICKS OFF WITH 45th ANNUAL NAPA AUTO PARTS
SPRING SIZZLER AT STAFFORD MOTOR SPEEDWAY |
Stafford
Motor Speedway and NAPA Auto Parts will usher in the
2016 season with the 45th running of the NAPA Auto
Parts Spring Sizzler on April 22-24. NAPA Auto Parts
is the Elite Corporate Sponsor of Stafford Speedway
and title sponsor of the track’s marquee events,
NAPA Spring Sizzler, NAPA Fall Final and the
uniquely formatted NAPA SK 5k.
“We are proud to be associated with NAPA Auto
Parts,” explained Mark Arute, Stafford Speedway
President/COO. “We are fortunate to have a partner
that enthusiastically participates at the speedway.
Their activation of their sponsorship program has
been a great asset and their interaction with the
fans and competitors has brought a level of
excitement to the events and NAPA is gearing up for
an even bigger and better 2016.”
Last year’s NAPA Spring Sizzler saw Woody Pitkat
become the first hometown driver in the race’s
44-year history to win “The Greatest Race in the
History of Spring” while the NAPA Fall Final saw
Doug Coby take the checkered flag on his way to
three consecutive wins to close out the 2015 season
and propel him to the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
championship. The Spring Sizzler was also a
precursor in the race for Stafford’s track
championships. Rowan Pennink, Michael Bennett, and
Al Saunders were all victorious in their feature
events during the Sizzler weekend and went on to
claim the track championships in the SK Modified®,
Late Model, and Limited Late Model divisions. This
year’s Spring Sizzler will have a special 45-lap SK
Modified® feature event as an homage to the race’s
45th year of existence.
The NAPA Auto Parts Springs Sizzler kicks off on
Friday, April 22 with a practice session for
Stafford’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series teams
and U.S. Legend Cars teams. The Sizzler continues on
Saturday, April 23 with practice, Coors Light Pole
Qualifying for the NWMT, qualifying heats and consis
for the NWAAS and Legend Cars divisions. The day
will wrap up with feature events for Stafford’s SK
Lights, Limited Late Models, DARE Stocks, and U.S.
Legend Cars teams. The NAPA Spring Sizzler on
Sunday, April 24 will commence with the interactive
NAPA Pit Party followed by feature events for the SK
Modified®, Late Model, and NASCAR Whelen Modified
Tour.
