(Stafford Springs, CT)—For the fifth consecutive season, Stafford Speedway
’s Friday, May 25th Memorial Day Weekend Whelen Modified Tour event will be
sponsored by TSI Harley-Davidson, the oldest Harley-Davidson dealer in the
state of Connecticut. The race sponsorship continues a relationship that
dates back to the 2006 season when TSI Harley-Davidson sponsored a NASCAR K
& N Pro Series East event at the Connecticut half-mile. The race will
“We’re excited and looking forward to being involved with the Whelen
Modified Tour once again at Stafford,” said Harry Levesque, Owner of TSI
Harley-Davidson. “The Whelen Modified Tour certainly has a great fan base
and sponsoring this event is a great way for us to be able to interact with
that fan base to showcase our Harley-Davidson line of motorcycles as well as
the products and services that we have to offer here at TSI
Harley-Davidson.”
The TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has become one of the most exciting stops on the
Whelen Modified Tour calendar. The TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has seen last
lap passes for the win as well as duels for victory between some of the best
drivers on the Tour. Whelen Modified Tour champions Ted Christopher, Tony
Hirschman, Donny Lia, Bobby Santos, III, Ronnie Silk, and Mike Stefanik have
all tasted the fruits of victory in the TSI Harley-Davidson 125.
Ryan Preece will look to continue his hot streak during the 2012 season in
the TSI Harley-Davidson 125. In the first three races of the 2012 NASCAR
Whelen Modified Tour season, Preece has won the pole position for each race
and he collected his first victory of the 2012 season last Saturday at
Monadnock Speedway.
Defending Whelen Modified Tour champion Ronnie Silk will look to put the
brakes on Preece’s hot streak by repeating his TSI Harley-Davidson 125
victory of one year ago, but the TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has not had a
repeat winner since the 1997-1998 seasons when Mike Stefanik was victorious
in consecutive years. Bob Garbarino owned cars have won three of the
previous five TSI Harley-Davidson 125’s with three different drivers: Donny
Lia, Chuck Hossfeld, and Bobby Santos, III.
Silk leads the points standings heading into next Friday night’s TSI
Harley-Davidson 125 with CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler champion Doug Coby
only one point behind. Preece is third in the standings, only 4 points
behind Silk.
