(Stafford Springs, CT)—Just as it was one year ago, the fight for the
Stafford Speedway Late Model track championship is coming down to two
hometown drivers, Ryan Posocco and Woody Pitkat. Posocco currently leads
Pitkat by 32 points in the chase for the championship with 4 races left on
the 2011 calendar. Last season, the championship was not decided until the
final lap of the CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend race. At this time last
