BRIT ANDERSEN RETURNING TO STAFFORD\u2019S SK LIGHT RANKS FOR CARQUEST FALL FINAL
\nWEEKEND<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Stafford Springs, CT)—As the SK Light Modified cars take to the Stafford
\nMotor Speedway asphalt one last time during the 38th Annual CARQUEST Fall
\nFinal Weekend, the division will have one of its winningest drivers back in
\nthe starting field. Brit Andersen, who won 13 SK Light races in three
\nseasons of competition, will return to the track in his family owned #70.
\n\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to getting back in the car,\u201d said Andersen. \u201cI
\ndidn\u2019t even know I was going to be driving it until last Thursday.\u201d
\nAndersen has his sights set on taking the checkered flag and beating Tommy
\nBarrett, Jr., who has won an astounding 10 races this season, and to prove
\nthat his car is still the best SK Light in the field.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re coming back to win the race and beat Tommy Barrett,\u201d said Andersen.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re looking to either run the car with another driver next season or we
\nare going to sell the car, so we want to show everyone that it is still the
\nbest car in the division. It\u2019s going to be kind of like Ryan Newman racing
\nthe Whelen Modified Tour, we\u2019re focused on winning the race. Tommy, Joey
\nCipriano, and Matt Galko are all fast cars so it\u2019s going to be tough, but I
\nknow how I race and I\u2019ve seen how they race. I know there has been some
\ngreat races at Stafford this season, but I think our race is going to be the
\nbest race of the entire season.\u201d
\nWhile Andersen will be gunning for the victory, Barrett and Galko will be
\nracing for the championship as well as the victory, a fact that is not lost
\non Andersen.
\n\u201cI respect the fact that those guys are racing for the championship, but I\u2019m
\nnot going to be moving over and just letting them go by,\u201d said Andersen.
\n\u201cThose guys are clean racers and we\u2019ll race them clean, but we\u2019re not going
\nto give them anything.\u201d
\nAndersen began the 2010 season in the SK Modified\u00ae division, driving for
\nChris and Doug DiPisa. After 8 races, the two parted company and Andersen
\nnow has a ride in the NEMA Midget division for the remainder of the 2010
\nseason. Andersen has been working with Mike Scravani, which he says has
\nhelped him in his racing and his working knowledge of racecars.
\n\u201cI\u2019ll be driving a NEMA Midget car for the remainder of the year,\u201d said
\nAndersen. \u201cIt\u2019s my dad\u2019s midget and Mike Scravani maintains the car for us.
\nIt\u2019s been great working with Mike, he has taught me a lot about racing and
\nworking with him has helped me with my knowledge of setups and what the car
\nneeds to be fast.\u201d
\nAndersen and the rest of the SK Light Modified cars will qualify and then
\nrace for the final time in 2010 on Saturday, October 2nd during CARQUEST
\nFall Final Weekend. The SK Light field will also be part of the CARQUEST
\nBelts & Hose Pit Party on Sunday, October 3rd from 11am-12pm.
