(Stafford Springs, CT)—After racing his own equipment at Stafford Speedway for 12 seasons from 2000-2018, Tolland, CT native Rich Hammann will return to competition in 2020 in the Limited Late Model division. Hammann will be driving the #83 NAPA of Tolland Chevrolet for former Limited Late Model and current Late Model driver R.J. Surdell. Hammann is in the process of building his own Limited Late Model car, but a phone call from Surdell set in motion plans for the two drivers to team up for the 2020 season.
“I’m building a new car but it won’t be ready in time for the start of the season at the Sizzler,” said Hammann. “R.J. was also building a car and he ended up giving me a call and asked if I would be interested in driving for him. I’ll run his car this season and then probably run my own car next season.”
