(Stafford Springs, CT)—For Stafford Late Model driver Tony Lafo, the 2012
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series season is a chance for he and his #82 team
to continue to build upon the progress they achieved with their car during
the 2011 season. While a couple of hard crashes prevented the team from
competing in all of the races this past season, Lafo managed a best finish
of 8th and he finished the year in 16th place in the Late Model points
standings. While that points position might not sound all that promising on
paper, Lafo says his team made significant progress during the year and he
is looking to build upon that progress for the 2012 season at Stafford.
