\nThe 2009 and 2010 Coors Light SK Modified\u00ae 100 events were two of the
\nwildest races in recent memory with 2-time SK Modified\u00ae champion Keith Rocco
\ndueling with 7-time track champion Ted Christopher in a battle that saw the
\ntwo drivers swap the lead between themselves almost at will. Between laps
\n16 and 68 of last year\u2019s extra distance classic, Rocco and Christopher
\nswapped the lead between themselves 15 times. The 2009 edition of the race
\nsaw them swap the lead seven times between themselves over the final 35 laps
\nof the race.<\/p>\n
Rocco has gotten the better of those battles as he is the two-time defending
\nchampion of the Coors Light SK Modified\u00ae 100. Both Rocco and Christopher
\nhave visited CARQUEST Victory Lane twice thusfar during the 2011 season, and
\nthey will be looking to pick up their third win in the second most lucrative
\nSK Modified\u00ae event of the 2011 season.<\/p>\n
Rocco and Christopher won\u2019t be the only favorites to take the checkered flag
\nin the Coors Light 100. Other SK Modified\u00ae drivers who have won extra
\ndistance events at Stafford who will be in the starting lineup next Friday
\nnight include Eric Berndt, Todd Owen, Woody Pitkat, and Frank Ruocco.

\nthe last four CARQUEST SK 150 events and with a best finish of second
\nthusfar in 2011, he will be hungry to notch up his first win of the season.
\nAnd while current SK Modified\u00ae points leader Ryan Preece has yet to win an
\nextra distance event at Stafford, he finished second to Ruocco in last year\u2019
