(Stafford Springs, CT)—Heading into the Final Friday Night Shoot-Out
program at Stafford Speedway, Ryan Preece leads Keith Rocco by 82 points in
the track’s SK Modified® points standings. If Preece can finish in 16th
place or higher tomorrow night, he will clinch the 2011 SK Modified® track
championship. While Preece acknowledges that he is aware of the fact, he
will not allow that fact to alter his approach to the race.
“For sure it’s in the back of my mind, but we’re going to try to win the
race and do what we’ve been doing and hope things go our way,” said Preece.
“When you try to change things, that’s usually when things go bad, so we’re
going to try to win the race, and if we can’t win, then we’ll go for the
best finish we can get.”
While Rocco was busy winning 7 of the first 11 races of the season, Preece
won twice and was never more than a handful of points behind Rocco. With
Rocco being the dominant car during the first half of the season, Preece and
his #40 Sullivan and Sons team have become the dominant car in the second
half of the season. Preece has recorded three wins, a second, and a fourth
in the previous five races leading into tomorrow night’s Final Friday Night
Shoot-Out. Preece says that his recent good fortunes can be traced back to
a practice session that he wasn’t even a part of.
“I was in Loudon qualifying for the Modified Tour race and we had Donny
Travaglin practicing our car that night,” said Preece. “Mike [Paquette]
made a change to the car and Donny said it was a good change and to leave it
on the car. I don’t want to give too much away, but the change that Mike
made gave the car a better entry into the corner, it rolled through the
center better, and it had a ton of forward bite getting off the corner. The
car was already good and that change made it that much better, so I was
pretty confident we were going to win some more races before the season was
over. That change has made a really big difference and it’s been a total
team effort this season. Between Bob Hitchcock, Kelly Iverson, Mike
Paquette, and everyone on my team and the 89 team, we’ve really clicked and
we all get along really well. Even though my car and the 89 car are out of
separate shops, we operate like we’re all out of the same shop.”
While the team had expectations to be among the championship contenders
prior to the start of the season, they now have to finish 16th or better on
Friday night to clinch their first SK Modified® championship.
“Our expectations at the beginning of the season were to run for the
championship, there’s a lot of tough competition at Stafford,” said Preece.
“You are racing against guys like Keith Rocco, Ted Christopher, Woody
Pitkat, and Frank Ruocco, and you can’t make a mistake if you want to win
the championship at Stafford. If we can clinch the championship, it would
mean a lot to me, Bob, Kelly, Mike, the Poulins, and all my sponsors. The
team has done an awesome job and I’m sure that we’ll have a great car again
like we have all season long.”
