RICHIE PALLAI, JR. HOPING FOR REPEAT OF SK MODIFIED® SUCCESS IN THIS YEAR’S CARQUEST TECH-NET SPRING SIZZLER
The 41st Annual CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler
will kick off the 2012 race season at Stafford Motor Speedway and Richie
Pallai, Jr., driver of the #39 CARQUEST Filters / Bosch Spark Plugs
Chevrolet, is hoping for a repeat of the 2009 Sizzler where he collected his
first SK Modified® feature victory. Pallai finished 14th in the season
opening event at Thompson, and although he was caught up in a multi-car
wreck, he has confidence in his car and team with how well they ran as they
prepare for the 200-lap test that is the CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler.
“We’re looking forward to the Sizzler more than we have in the past,” said
Pallai. “Stafford has kind of been one of our worst tracks. You would
think it would be one of our better ones, but it just hasn’t been. We ran
really good at Thompson, we were eighth when we pitted and we pitted with
all the leaders. We restarted 14th and we were up to 10th right before we
wrecked, so realistically we had about a 7th or 8th place car without a
problem. We didn’t qualify as good as we wanted to, which hurt us because
it’s tough to pass, but we’re looking forward to Stafford. We had a lot of
problems with the car last year that we figured out during the winter and we
switched to Bruneau engines. We have the best equipment that we’ve had in
three years, so it’s nice to know that going into the race.”
