\"Stafford\"
\n(Stafford Springs, CT)—The Modified Racing Series made its second visit of
\nthe 2011 season to Stafford Motor Speedway for the 2nd Annual Shark Cycle
\n80. Chris Pasteryak was the big winner of the night, taking the lead on
\nlap-2 and leading the rest of the way to pick up his first victory at
\nStafford Motor Speedway and his family\u2019s first modified victory at Stafford.
\nThe Shark Cycle 80 took the green flag with Ken Barry taking the point, but
\nhe was only able to lead the first lap as Chris Pasteryak moved to the lead
\non lap-2. Barry held second behind Pasteryak until lap-15 when Doug Coby
\ntook the position. Keith Rocco was now up to fourth after starting seventh,
\nand Max Zachem was in fifth. Steve Reed was in sixth, Matt Hirschman was
\nseventh, Todd Owen was eighth, Tom Bolles was ninth, and Rowan Pennink was
\ntenth after starting from the 24th position.<\/p>\n

Pasteryak and Coby were separated by only a car length or two and they were
\nbeginning to pull away from Barry in third place. Barry remained in third
\nuntil lap-31 when Rocco went by to take the spot. Pasteryak had stretched
\nhis lead out from several car lengths to nearly a half straightaway over
\nCoby on lap-35 and Rocco wasn\u2019t making up any ground on the two lead cars,
\nbut that lead was all erased with 42 laps complete as Bolles spun in turn 2
\nto bring the race\u2019s first caution flag out.<\/p>\n

Pasteryak took the lead back under green with Coby in second. Rocco was
\nthird, with Hirschman fourth, and Ted Christopher was now up to fifth.
\nPennink was in sixth behind Christopher, with Barry, Rob Goodenough, Reed,
\nand Les Hinckley rounding out the top-10.<\/p>\n

While Pasteryak and Coby continued to occupy the top two spots, Hirschman
\nwas all over the back of Rocco looking to take away the third position. But
\nthat fight for third was halted by the caution flag with 59 laps complete as
\nTommy Barrett, Jr. spun in turn 4.<\/p>\n

On the restart, Hinckley and Jack Bateman made contact with both cars
\nspinning backwards into the turn 1 wall and Hinckley\u2019s car ended up on top
\nof Bateman\u2019s car, which brought the red flag out. As the race went back to
\ngreen, Tom Bolles spun in turn 2 to bring the caution back out before a lap
\ncould be completed.<\/p>\n

Pasteryak took the lead back under green with Coby and Pennink behind him.
\nHirschman settled into line in fourth, just ahead of Rocco and Christopher.
\nPennink went to the outside groove on lap-65 to move around Coby and take
\nover second place. Pennink closed the gap to Pasteryak and he was right on
\nPasteryak\u2019s bumper with 10 laps to go.<\/p>\n

The action was slowed with 77 laps complete for a spin by Tom Bolles in turn
\n4, setting up a three lap dash to the finish. Pasteryak took the lead on
\nthe restart and he led Pennink around for the final 3 laps to take the
\nvictory. Rounding out the top-5 behind Pasteryak and Pennink was Coby,
\nHirschman, and Rocco.<\/p>\n
