(Stafford Springs, CT)—After kicking off the 2011 season with plans to
step out of the car midway through the year, Don Wood flipped the script and
captured his second career DARE Stock track championship at Stafford Motor
Speedway. After winning the 2009 DARE Stock championship, Wood ran the
first half of the 2010 season then handed his car over to David and Paul
Arute. The plan was the same for 2011, as Wood was going to run the first
half of the year and then hand the car over to Stephanie Berardi and Charlie
Newman. But the plan changed midway through the season and the result was a
second career championship for Wood and his John Berardi owned #15.
