The 2012<br \/>\nStafford schedule has another change to announce and that is the addition of<br \/>\nthe Pro-4 Modified division to the CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend, which is<br \/>\nscheduled for Sept. 28-Sept. 30.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe Pro-4 Modified division will run a 20-lap feature event as part of the<br \/>\nSaturday schedule of events for the CARQUEST Fall Final, joining Stafford\u2019s<br \/>\nSK Lights, Limited Late Models, and DARE Stocks in feature action on<br \/>\nSaturday, September 29th.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of the Pro-4 Modifieds to the CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend gives<br \/>\nthe Pro-4 Modifieds two race dates at Stafford during the 2012 season.  The<br \/>\nPro-4 Modifieds join the ISMA Supermodifieds and NEMA Midgets on Saturday,<br \/>\nJune 30 as part of the CARQUEST Super Saturday program before returning to<br \/>\nStafford as part of the CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend festivities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very excited about having two races at Stafford this season,\u201d said<br \/>\nStan Mertz, Business Manager for Pro-4 Modifieds of New England.  \u201cThe Fall<br \/>\nFinal is a great addition to our schedule.  Our competitors love racing at<br \/>\nStafford, it is certainly one of the best tracks in the area and the<br \/>\nresponse from our competitors was overwhelmingly positive when we announced<br \/>\nthis event at our annual meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Pro-4 Modifieds have made two visits to Stafford during a season once<br \/>\nbefore during the 2005 season.  The Pro-4 Modifieds were on hand for the<br \/>\nCARQUEST Extreme Tuesday program and they made a second trip to Stafford as<br \/>\npart of a special open wheel Friday night race program with the Whelen<br \/>\nModified Tour and Stafford\u2019s SK Modifieds\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>Norm Wrenn has owned Stafford Motor Speedway when it comes to Pro-4 Modified<br \/>\ncompetition.  Wrenn has won the Pro-4 Modified feature 4 consecutive times<br \/>\nas part of CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday.  Wrenn will have two opportunites to<br \/>\nextend his Stafford winning streak during the 2012 season.  Other Pro-4<br \/>\nModified drivers who have won at Stafford include Mike LaJoie, Mike Weeden,<br \/>\nAndy Major, and Jeff Zuidema.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have several guys who can give Norm a run for his money,\u201d said<br \/>\nMertz.  \u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of guys who have stepped up their game and I think<br \/>\nRob Richardi and our defending Pro-4 Modified champion Tyler Anderson are<br \/>\nthe best bets to knock Norm off the top step of the Stafford podium.  We\u2019ve<br \/>\nhad more different feature winners in the past couple of years than we\u2019ve<br \/>\never had, and we\u2019re looking forward to putting on another great show at<br \/>\nStafford.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 40th Annual CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend will get underway Friday,<br \/>\nSeptember 28 with a practice session for Stafford\u2019s weekly divisions.  The<br \/>\npractice session will be open to the public at no charge.  The CARQUEST Fall<br \/>\nFinal will continue on Saturday, September 29 with qualifying for the Whelen<br \/>\nModified Tour and heat races for Stafford\u2019s weekly divisions as well as the<br \/>\nPro-4 Modifieds.  Saturday\u2019s racing action will conclude with feature events<br \/>\nfor the SK Light, Limited Late Model, DARE Stock, and Pro-4 Modified<br \/>\ndivisions.  The CARQUEST Fall Final will conclude on Sunday, September 30<br \/>\nwith the CARQUEST Belts and Hose Pit Party followed by Stafford\u2019s SK<br \/>\nModifieds\u00ae and Late Models joining the Whelen Modified Tour in feature<br \/>\naction.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend are available and on sale now<br \/>\nthrough the SMS Box Office.
