TODD OWEN LOOKS TO CONTINUE STRONG RUN IN RESCHEDULED LINCOLN TECH MRS 80 AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY
(Stafford Springs, CT)—When the Modified Racing Series came to Stafford
Motor Speedway in June for the Inaugural Lincoln Tech 80 MRS event, Stafford
SK Modified® regular Todd Owen had a great drive going with his #29 Cooker
Construction sponsored entry in the race before rain halted the feature at
lap-32. Owen had the fastest car in the MRS practice session, and after
crashing in his heat race and starting the feature in 20th place, Owen had
climbed his way up through the field into 7th place when the rain came.
When the MRS cars return to Stafford this Friday night, July 29th for the
resumption of the Lincoln Tech 80, Owen hopes to continue his charge to the
front of the field. (more…)

ACT YOUNG GUNS POLEWARCZYK, THERIAULT, AND BABB LEAD THE WAY
Waterbury, VT – Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (BRMS) in Scarborough, ME is perhaps the most neutral track the American Canadian Tour (ACT) visits during the season-long touring campaign. There will be no weekly teams that enter the event; by design, it might be compared to Oxford Plains Speedway, but veterans will tell you that is not true; it races as good as any track the Tour visits; and the atmosphere from the staff and management to the fans is first class. The food is also some of the best. (more…)
