Ronnie Williams Searching for Consistency in 2016 At Stafford Speedway
(Stafford Springs, CT)—What to do for an encore? There lies the challenge facing Ellington native Ronnie Williams and the #59 Advice One SK Modified® team at Stafford Motor Speedway. When the final checkered flag of 2015 flew over the SK Modified® field, Williams wrapped up his best season to date with 6 wins and a sixth place finish in the points standings. Williams says the only proper way to follow that up is with more feature wins during the 2016 season.
“I don’t really want to call last year a breakout season because I feel like we have so much more to give and I as a driver can give more,” said Williams. “I don’t want people to think that was a breakout year and we’re never going to win that many times again. I want to be the car that people think is the car to beat each Friday night. Hopefully last year is the first of many for us.” (more…)

Irvan Looking For “Hometrack” Advantage In PASS South Return To Concord
CHARLOTTE, NC (March 16) – For his entire life in motorsports, Jared Irvan has had to live up to greatness. His grandfather, Vic, was a terror on the short tracks of California, while his dad, Ernie, found success on stock car racing’s biggest stage, winning the Daytona 500 back in 1991. At just 18-years-old, Jared Irvan was not around to see those triumphs, but he has certainly made a mark of his own in recent years. And this Saturday afternoon in the inaugural Southern Sizzler, Irvan hopes he can continue the streak of “no repeat” winners in PASS at Concord Speedway.
After graduating from Legends cars and open wheel midgets, Irvan made the step up to Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models in 2012. Irvan quickly became a front runner, finishing third in PASS South Super Late Model points in 2014, his only season competing for the championship. Last year, that elusive first PASS South win came at Anderson Motor Speedway. (more…)
