Stafford

(Stafford Springs, CT)—For Stafford SK Light competitor Tommy Membrino,
Jr., the 2011 season has been a resurgence of sorts for himself and the #00
Membrino Electric team. After winning twice and finishing 6th in the points
standings in 2009, the team only raced 9 times in 2010 and finished 22nd in
the points standings. But that has all turned around this season as
Membrino collected his first win of the 2011 season in grand style last
Friday night, taking home a $600 bonus from the Gunsmoke Stables Front
Runner Challenge. Combined with his race purse and further contingency
bonuses from The Davidson Company and New England Racing Fuel, Membrino took
home $1,000 for his winning efforts, a big boost for a team that almost wasn
’t going to make it to the track this year. (more…)
