(Stafford Springs, CT)---Stafford Speedway hosted the biggest and richest SK Modified® race of the 2022 season on Friday, August 5 with the 9th Annual NAPA Auto Parts SK 5k.  A draw just prior to the start of the race determined the feature distance would be either 60, 70, or 80 laps and the 80 lap number was drawn by NAPA rep Bruce Pinto.  Marcello Rufrano scored his first career SK Modified® victory in the biggest race of the season.  Rufrano’s win gave him a payday of $5,725 in purse and contingency money from total posted awards of over $35,000.  Other feature wins on the night were scored by Tom Fearn in the Late Model feature, Tyler Alkas in the SK Light feature, Jeremy Lavoie in the Limited Late Model feature, and Travis Downey in the Street Stock feature.

(Stafford Springs, CT)---For Stafford Speedway SK Modified® driver Michael Christopher, Jr., the 2022 season has been a struggle.  The 2021 season saw Christopher win a total of 4 races, including the non-points All-Star Shoot-Out as well as the NAPA SK 5k, and he finished second in the points.  One year later sees Christopher with only one podium finish and two top-5 finishes through the first 12 races.  Christopher and the #82 New England Turf / Eastport Feeds team have been hard at work looking to get back to their winning ways and he has the August 5 NAPA SK 5k circled on his calendar as the race that could see them return to feature winning glory.
