(Stafford Springs, CT)—Since Ryan Posocco joined the #48 Davidson Company
sponsored Kretschman Motorsports team prior to the 2008 season, that
combination has been the team to beat when it comes to Late Model
competition at Stafford Motor Speedway. This past Sunday at Stafford,
Posocco and the Kretschman team locked up their third championship in the
past four seasons, which was Posocco’s record sixth Late Model championship
at the track. The championship run brought to a possible end one of the
