(Stafford Springs, CT) \u2014 After capturing the 2025 SK Light championship, second-generation driver Meg Fuller of Auburn, MA is moving up to Stafford Speedway’s premier SK Modified\u00ae division for 2026. Fuller will join forces with Dan Avery and Keith Rocco Racing, piloting an Avery Construction car carrying her familiar #2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sponsors returning with Fuller include Propane Plus, P.T. Watts, Wally and Jason Koza, Rob from TFR, Interstate Transmission, RaceChoice, Metro Door, Gary Rice Shop Equipment, Renee and Ed Bennett, Avery Construction, and VR Wraps, with P.J. Ladola and Sons coming aboard as a new partner for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
“I’m really excited to make the step up,” said Fuller. “I feel like it’s time and I’m excited that Dan and Doug from Avery Construction have the confidence in me to team up with us for 2026. There’s a lot of competition in the SK division and we’re hoping for a smooth transition and a successful rookie year.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuller brings five years of SK Light experience to the move, plus three prior seasons in Stafford’s Street Stock division. She has two career SK Modified starts under her belt and will lean on the guidance of Keith Rocco, her father Rick, and the rest of the #2 team as she transitions to the premier division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s huge to bring the experience from the SK Lights,” said Fuller. “It’s a pretty tough division to be in every week and that gives you the experience of racing in an open wheel car. It definitely helps having a few experienced drivers in the SK division to give me the advice that I’ll need to make the move from the Lights to the SK’s.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One notable change for Fuller will be the jump from 20-lap SK Light sprints to 40-lap SK Modified features \u2014 along with the ability to pit during races for adjustments and repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Now that we’re moving into the SK division and the races are 40 laps, we have the opportunity to pit and make changes to the car if it’s not exactly how I want it,” said Fuller. “I also feel like I’ll have more patience behind the wheel. We were pretty good in the longer races in the SK Lights so I think I just have to bring that mentality with me to the SK’s on a weekly basis.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuller’s SK Modified debut will come at the 54th Annual NAPA Spring Sizzler\u00ae, scheduled for April 25-26 at Stafford Speedway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
