\nMidget feature event, and Norm Wrenn made it four wins in a row at Stafford
\nby taking the 25-lap Pro-4 Modified feature event. In the CARQUEST
\nChampions For Charities event, Keith Rocco took the checkered flag but the
\nreal winner was charity as the 14 champion drivers raised over $40,000 for
\ntheir selected charities.<\/p>\n
In the 50-lap ISMA Supermodified feature event, Ted Christopher took the
\nlead from the pole and bean to set a blistering pace, pulling away from the
\nrest of the competition. Bobby Magner and Johnny Benson were side by side
\nfor second place with Benson eventually getting the spot after several laps.
\nMike Lichty was running fourth with Russ Wood making up the remainder of the
\ntop-5 in the early laps.<\/p>\n
Christopher was running strong in the lead and was maintaining a several car
\nlength lead over Benson in second at the lap-10 marker. Chris Perley was
\nbeginning to make a charge to the front of the field at this stage of the
\nrace and he cracked into the top-5 by passing Jamie Timmons. The action was
\nslowed by the caution flag with 27 laps complete for Timmons, who spun in
\nturn 2 after he had run among the top-5 cars.<\/p>\n
Christopher got a great restart and pulled out to the lead while Perley and
\nBenson were side by side for second. Perley took the spot from Benson on
\nlap-25, while Christopher was continuing to pull away. Several laps after
\nthe restart, Perley began to reel Christopher back in and when the two lead
\ncars began to navigate lapped traffic, Perley closed right up to Christopher
\n\u2019s bumper. Perley made the pass for the lead on lap-43 and he led the
\nremaining 7 laps as Christopher began to fall back from Perley. Benson came
\nhome in third behind Perley and Christopher, with Timmy Jedrzejek, and Russ
\nWood making up the top-5.<\/p>\n
The CARQUEST Champions For Charities 15-lap feature was a wild race with
\npositions swapping lap by lap. Woody Pitkat took the early lead, but he was
\novertaken by Bobby Santos, III on lap-3 for the lead. Before Santos could
\nget back to the line to lead the lap, Richie Pallai, Jr. moved his kart to
\nthe front.<\/p>\n
Pitkat charged back by Pallai for the lead on lap-4 while Pallai retook the
\nlead on lap-5. Santos was still in the mix up front and he moved to the
\nfront on lap-6 before Frank Ruocco took a turn at the front on lap-7.
\nRuocco, Jon McKennedy, and Pitkat went three wide for the lead on lap-8 with
\nMcKennedy coming out with the lead. The caution came out with 10 laps
\ncomplete for debris on the track.<\/p>\n
McKennedy took the lead back under green on lap-11 while Keith Rocco moved
\ninto second. Rocco made a move to the high side of McKennedy on lap-14 and
\nhe led McKennedy back to the checkered flag to take the victory. McKennedy
\nfinished second, with Frank Ruocco, Todd Szegedy, and Woody Pitkat rounding
\nout the top-5.<\/p>\n
In the 30-lap NEMA Midget feature event, Greg Stoehr took the early race
\nlead and immediately began to pull away from the rest of the field. Randy
\nCabral was working under the hood just prior to the start of the feature and
\nhe barely made it onto the track for the green flag. But once he got on
\ntrack, he was slicing his way through traffic towards the front runners.
\nJeff Abold was second with Jeremy Frankoski in third, but Frankoski would
\novertake Abold for second. The caution came out with 8 laps complete for a
\nspin by Abold in turn 3.<\/p>\n
Back under green, Greg Stoehr took the lead but Cabral was the car on the
\ncharge. He picked off several spots on the first lap of the restart and was
\nmoving towards the lead on lap-10 when his car suddenly dropped off the pace
\nand he retired from the race.<\/p>\n
Greg Stoehr was still the race leader with Russ Stoehr moving into second.
\nFrankoski was still third, with Jeff Horn in fourth and Erica Santos now in
\nfifth. The top-3 continued to run in order while Santos was slowly reeling
\nin the Horn. The caution came back out with 21 laps complete when Greg
\nStoehr spun in turn 2 while navigating lapped traffic, putting Russ Stoehr
\nup front for the restart.<\/p>\n
Stoehr powered into the lead with Frankoski taking second. Horn moved into
\nthird with Abold, who had spun earlier, in fourth and Santos fifth. Santos\u2019
\ngood night ended on lap-25 when her car dropped off the pace and she retired
\nfrom the race. Abold moved by Frankoski for second on lap-26 but it was all
\nRuss Stoehr at the front of the field as he took the checkered flag.
\nRounding out the top-5 behind Russ Stoehr and Abold was Greg Stoehr, Chris
\nLeonard, and Horn.<\/p>\n
In the 25-lap Pro-4 Modified feature, Tyler Anderson led the field to the
\ngreen and he took the early race lead ahead of Frank Perry, Dan Meservey,
\nand Brian Vincent. Norm Wrenn and Dan Meservey, Jr. were side by side for
\nfifth with Wrenn taking the spot. Wrenn quickly picked off two more spots
\nto move into third before the cauton came out with 4 laps complete for a
\nspin in turn 1 by Dave Bedard. Mark Giordano came to a stop on the
\nbackstretch and needed a tow back to the pits and points leader Phil Lausier
\nwas on pit road working on the rear end of his car and he went several laps
\ndown before rejoining the race.
\nAnderson took command back under green with Vincent and Perry dueling side
\nby side for second. They rode side by side for several laps before Vincent
\ncleared him and took the position. Perry fell back several more spots to
