(Stafford Springs, CT)—2-time Limited Division Pro-4 Modified champion
Stan Mertz has joined the CARQUEST Champions For Charities field, taking the
place originally reserved for Donny Lia, who will be unable to attend the
race due to a scheduling conflict. Mertz won the Limited Division Pro-4
Modified championship in 2008 and 2009. Mertz will be racing for the
Connecticut chapter of Autism Speaks and he is looking forward to getting
out onto the Stafford Mini-Mile behind the wheel of a Senior Outlaw Kart.
“I’m certainly glad Stafford was able to fit me in for the race,” said
Mertz. “We’re excited about the race. I’ve been doing a lot of work for
the tornado victims in Massachusetts and this is another great opportunity
to raise money and give something back to Autism Speaks and fill the shoes
that Donny Lia got started. We can’t wait to get to Stafford.” (more…)
