ENGRAVING AWARDS AND GIFTS RALLYCROSS TO KICK OFF 2011 RACING SEASON AT STAFFORD MOTOR SPEEDWAY
(Stafford Springs, CT)—With the colder temperatures beginning to bring
snow to the Northeast, Stafford Motor Speedway is gearing up for its first
event of its 2011 schedule with the Engraving Awards and Gifts RallyCross
and Eastern States RallyCross Challenge Championship on January 15 and 16.
As part of the New England Region SCCA RallyCross season, drivers will
participate in two New England Region Championship events as well as the
Eastern States RallyCross Challenge Championship over a two-day period.
Drivers will be eligible to win SCCA Contingency Awards and they will
compete to establish who is the best RallyCross driver in the Northeast.
RallyCross is a timed competition pitting a driver and vehicle against a
defined course. Courses are set up on a non-paved surface such as dirt,
gravel, or snow, and drivers attempt to make their way through the course as
fast as possible. At the end of the event, all of a driver’s times are
added together. The total times of each driver within a class are compared
and the driver with the lowest cumulative time in each race class is the
winner. The Stafford course is setup throughout the vast parking lot at the
Speedway with a series of both high and low speed corners. (more…)
CORY CASAGRANDE MOVING FROM DARE STOCK TO LIMITED LATE MODEL RANKS IN 2011 AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY
(Stafford Springs, CT)—The 2010 season was a year of firsts for Cory
Casagrande on the Stafford half mile. An established racer on the Wild
Thing Kart circuit, making the move to the Stafford Dare Stock division was
a big step. Cory made his 2010 rookie campaign a good one racking up 3
wins, 12 top 5, and 15 top 10 finishes in 21 starts, finishing 5th in the
points standings. 2011 will again see major changes at the Casagrande
Motorsports camp, Cory will take the next step on the Stafford Speedway full
body ladder and pilot the number 1 Limited Late Model next season.
“I’m really excited to make the move to the Limited Late Models next year,”
says Casagrande, “it’s kind of a big step but I feel that the full season in
the Dare Stocks really has improved my confidence and ability in the car.”
A graduate of the Wild Thing Kart Series, which runs weekly on the Stafford
Mini-Mile, Cory stepped into the Dare Stock division in 2010 hoping to
consistently finish races and possibly find victory lane. Yet in only his
fourth start in a Dare Stock he found CARQUEST victory lane, and as the
season progressed he found himself in the midst of a tight point race.
After a successful 2010 season in the Dare Stocks the Casagrande team felt
like it was time to move up. (more…)
