Nick Anglace seeks SK Light Mastery in GAF Roofing Modified Masters

CX6A1316.JPG

Coming into the 2026 racing season at Stafford Speedway, SK Light driver Nick Anglace had a total of 5 career feature wins, with 2 wins in 2021 and 3 wins last season. Anglace and the #10 UCONN team have taken the 2026 season by storm with Anglace already notching 5 wins this season to double his career total. Having already won the SK Light double down 40-lap feature this season, Anglace is looking to capture the 30-lap extra distance King of the Crate feature this Wednesday, July 15th as part of the GAF Roofing Modified Masters program.

“This is definitely a first for me,” said Anglace. “We found some speed last season and then coming into this year we’ve improved a little and things have been working out for us with 5 wins in 11 races so far. We won the 40-lapper earlier so that gives us some extra confidence and I always seem to run well in the longer races. Last year was an exception because we were trying to do 2 cars with the Light and the Open car and I don’t have the crew guys for that to work out and we struggled with both cars. We’re focused on the Light car this year and we’re hoping we can run just as well as we did in the 40-lapper. I think we expected to have 5 wins, but definitely not at the halfway point of the season with more races left to try to win. It’s been great so far and winning the King of the Crate race would be a great way to build the excitement for the rest of the year.”
