Cliff Saunders Wins R.A.D. Automachine Limited Late Model Rookie of the Year Honors at Stafford Motor Speedway
(Stafford Springs, CT)—After winning the DARE Stock track championship in 2012, hometown driver Cliff Saunders was ready to move into the Limited Late Model division in 2013. But mechanical issues with his car relegated him to making only 4 starts and delayed his full-time move to the division until this season and Saunders made the most of his rookie season by claiming the R.A.D. Automachine Rookie of the Year honors in his #4 American Sleeve Bearing Chevrolet.
Saunders’ twin brother Albert ran 15 of the 18 Limited Late Model races last season and scored 2 wins, and combined with Cliff’s 4 starts last season, Saunders had a leg up on most rookie drivers as he not only had personal experience to lean on, but his brother’s experience as well.

EAST MONTPELIER, Vt. – Emily Packard was looking forward to running the 52nd Annual Milk Bowl this weekend at Thunder Road, but Mother Nature has a way of changing plans.
With the opportunity to showcase her talents at the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Combine on October 13th through the 15th, Packard’s travel/Combine schedule doesn’t allow her enough time to run the Late Model race at Thunder Road and then travel to Virginia in a timely manner. “I was really looking forward to competing in the Milk Bowl this weekend,” said Packard, “but by it being moving to next weekend, we just didn’t have enough time to allow us to race and then travel to Virginia as needed to meet the Drive for Diversity schedule .”
