AFTER ONE YEAR HIATUS, BRETT GONYAW TEAMS WITH SILBERMAN RACING FOR 2011 SK MODIFIED\u00ae SEASON AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Stafford Springs, CT)—With the 2011 NASCAR racing season on the horizon
\nat Stafford Speedway, teams have been busy preparing their cars and one of
\nthe newest combinations that will be on the track in the SK Modified\u00ae
\ndivision is a reunion of sorts. Brett Gonyaw will join the Donald Silberman
\nowned team, which won Rookie of the Year honors last season with Josh
\nSylvester behind the wheel.
\nGonyaw briefly piloted the Silberman car at the end of the 2009 season,
\nrecording one top-10 finish over the final three races of the year. This
\npast season saw Gonyaw serve as a crew member on the Silberman machine,
\nwhile he also helped out Joe Allegro, Jr. With prior experience both
\ndriving and working on the Silberman car, Gonyaw is excited about his
\nprospects for the 2011 season.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re all really excited to go racing this year,\u201d said Gonyaw. \u201cThe car
\nhas been to the chassis builders and back and now we\u2019re just waiting to fire
\nup the motor and go racing. Don\u2019s a great guy, we get along really well,
\nthe crew guys are great, hopefully we can click and have a great season
\ntogether. I think it\u2019s going to help with being familiar with the car and
\nthe guys that work on the car. We had a top-10 finish when I raced the car
\na couple years ago and Josh had some really good runs last year, so we\u2019re
\nlooking to keep that streak going this year.\u201d
\nWhile most drivers will have a specific set of things they want to
\naccomplish in a new season, Gonyaw has a simple list of goals that he is
\nlooking to check off in 2011. In two partial seasons at Stafford, Gonyaw
\nhas started a total of 10 races with 2 top-10 finishes and Gonyaw is looking
\nto improve upon those totals this year.
\n\u201cIn my career, I haven\u2019t had a lot of success at Stafford, so we just want
\nto keep the car in one piece and make the full season,\u201d said Gonyaw. \u201cWe\u2019re
\nlooking to consistently finish in the top-10 and maybe some top-5\u2019s. If we
\ncan do that and if we\u2019re going good during the season, we can set some
\nhigher goals for ourselves.\u201d
\nHaving both driven and worked as a crew member on the car should put Gonyaw
\nand the Silberman team ahead of the curve at the start of the 2011 season.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s the same car and equipment that Josh drove last year, we\u2019re just going
\nto put a different setup in the car,\u201d said Gonyaw. \u201cMy driving style is a
\nlittle different than Josh\u2019s, so we\u2019re going to try to work off of our \u201909
\nnotes when I drove the car the last three races. If that doesn\u2019t work for
\nus, we can always go back to Josh\u2019s notes from last year.\u201d
\nGonyaw will make his 2011 SK Modified\u00ae debut at the season opening CARQUEST
\nTech-Net Spring Sizzler, which is scheduled for April 29-May 1. The SK
\nModifieds\u00ae will be joined by the Whelen Modified Tour as well as Stafford\u2019s
\nother four NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions. Tickets for the
\n\u201cGreatest Race in the History of Spring\u201d are on sale now at the Speedway Box
\nOffice. Tickets are priced at $35.00 for adult general admission tickets,
\n$5.00 for children ages 6-14, and children ages 5 and under are admitted
