News & Notes: Christopher Looks To Continue Thompson Mastery
Veteran has won six of last eight Modified Tour races at TIS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – If one had to take either Ted Christopher or the field if asked to predict who might win the Budweiser ‘King of Beers’ 150 at Thompson (Conn.) International Speedway on June 30, they’d have a hard time going against No. 36.
Christopher has won six of the last eight NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races at Thompson, and 12 total in his illustrious career. This current run that started with the 2008 World Series has been so dominant that Christopher even finished second and fifth in those two races in which he didn’t take the checkered flag.
