(Stafford Springs, CT)—When the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour visits
Stafford Motor Speedway, Todd Szegedy is normally among the pre-race
favorites to contend for victory. Szegedy was a regular SK Modified®
competitor at Stafford before moving onto the Whelen Modified Tour and he
has 4 career WMT wins at Stafford. But the 2011 season has been unkind to
Szegedy and the #2 Wisk team in the three races held at Stafford this
season. A crash in the Spring Sizzler in April left him with a 24th place
finish and two spins in the August race left him with a 14th place finish to
go along with a 6th place finish in the May event at Stafford. Szegedy
hopes to have his bad luck at Stafford put behind him when the green flag
falls for the CARQUEST Fall Final 150. (more…)

KANNAPOLIS, N.C., (Sept. 15, 2011) – Despite a year in which Tony Stewart is still winless, the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing has plenty of reason to be bullish in this weekend’s Bear market.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is taking top billing in the Windy City as the Chicago Bears play the second game of their NFL season down in New Orleans while Stewart and 42 other drivers compete in nearby Joliet, Ill., at Chicagoland Speedway. Hyping this weekend’s event in downtown Chicago for two days before a wheel is even turned on the 1.5-mile oval are the 12 drivers vying for this year’s championship, among which is Stewart.
