LATE MODEL POINTS LEADER RYAN POSOCCO READY TO CHALLENGE FOR VICTORY IN AUG. 19 LATE MODEL 100 AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY
(Stafford Springs, CT)—With Stafford’s Late Models taking center stage on
Friday, August 19th with the 18th Annual Late Model 100, Late Model points
leader Ryan Posocco will be looking to add another extra distance title to
his resume. Posocco has enjoyed previous success in extra distance events,
winning 100 and 150 lap events in 2003 and winning the 100 lap event again
in 2006, but he has been shut out from victory lane in the extra distance
races since the 2006 victory. Posocco is hungry to once again win the
biggest Late Model race of the season and he is also looking to give his #48
Davidson Company team their first win in an extra distance event as well.
