NASCAR WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR POINTS LEADER RONNIE SILK HOPES FOR REPEAT PERFORMANCE IN TOWN FAIR TIRE 150 AT STAFFORD
(Stafford Springs, CT)—When the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour last visited
Stafford Motor Speedway back in May, it was a race to remember for Ronnie
Silk and the #6 T.S. Haulers, Inc. team. Silk won the pole and then led all
125 laps to take his first win of the 2011 season. Since that race at
Stafford, Silk hasn’t finished a race lower than fourth and he has the
points lead as the Tour returns to Stafford for the Town Fair Tire 150.
Silk hopes to recreate the level of domination that he exhibited at Stafford
in May and come away from the Town Fair Tire 150 with the winner’s trophy.
“I hope we can do that again,” said Silk. “We’ll be coming back with the
same stuff and we’ll be looking for another win this week. We’ve always
seemed to qualify and run well at Stafford, we just never had the finishes.
The last four races at Stafford, I don’t think we’ve finished lower than
third, so hopefully our luck has turned around at Stafford and we can be
there at the end of the race and try to win again.” (more…)

ANDREW CROSBY SCORES LITTLE ENDURO WIN AT 95
Andrew Crosby of Hermon won the battle in the Little Enduros at Speedway 95 Wednesday night when he passed pole sitter Travis Beale of Hampden on lap 23 of the caution free 25 lap series race, and went on to post his first win of the season in the division. Darren Durrell of Newburgh also worked his way past Beale on lap 23 to finish second, with Beale finishing third. Ted Ryder of Carmel was fourth and Garret Hayman of Milford came in fifth. Beale was the overall winner of the three race series, and admitted in his post race interview that he was points racing to win the series title, which is why he didn’t challenge Crosby and Durrell when they passed him with two laps to go.
