STAFFORD TO
RETIRE TED CHRISTOPHER'S #13
ON OCTOBER 1ST |
Ted
Christopher, a hero, a rival, a legend, and a once
in a generation driver. His first start at Stafford
Speedway in May of 1983 marked the beginning of a
journey, a journey that no one could have predicted.
35 years later the journey comes to an end with
statistics that make you ask, was Ted the greatest
modified driver of all-time; 131 career wins, 109 SK
Modified® wins, and 9 SK Modified® Track
Championships.
At the request of both fans and race teams that have
a prior commitment at New Hampshire this weekend,
Stafford Speedway management has moved the ceremony
to retire Ted Christopher’s number 13 to Sunday,
October 1st as part of the pre-race for the NAPA
Fall Final. This will allow all teams and fans to
share in this tribute.
This Friday, September 22 we will honor Ted
Christopher and his racing career with all those in
attendance.
“Since Ted’s first win in 1986 to his last win on
September 8, just 2 weeks ago, he has been a fixture
at Stafford,” explained Stafford GM Mark Arute. “We
will miss TC but we will never forget him. We will
retire his number from weekly Modified racing at
Stafford Speedway on Sunday, October 1st as part of
the NAPA Fall Final Weekend. The number 13 is and
always will be Ted’s number.”
