(Stafford Springs, CT)—Stafford Motor Speedway has again lined up an
\nimpressive field of current and former open wheel champions for its CARQUEST
\nChampions For Charities Event as part of CARQUEST Super Saturday on June
\n30th. During the coming weeks, SMS will offer a profile on each of its
\nchampionship winning drivers and the charity they will be racing for and
\nthis week\u2019s CARQUEST Champions For Charities spotlights falls on defending
\nStafford SK Modified\u00ae champion Ryan Preece, who will be racing to support
\nthe Connecticut chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
\n
\n\u201cFirst of all, it\u2019s nice to finally be able to be called a champion,\u201d said
\nPreece. \u201cI watched the race last year and it looked like all of the guys
\nhad a lot of fun. The main thing is to raise money for Make-A-Wish, so I\u2019m
\nlooking forward to raising money and helping to make a difference in being
\nable to grant a wish for a child with a life-threatening medical illness.\u201d
\nAs Preece strives to raise money for the CT Chapter of the Make-A-Wish
\nFoundation, he will not be alone in his fundraising efforts. Hoosier Tire\u2019s
\nMissy Pearl, who is an independent consultant with PartyLite Gifts, will aid
\nPreece\u2019s efforts by donating 25% of her profits from selling PartyLite gifts
\nto Preece\u2019s efforts for Make-A-Wish. Fans can order PartyLite gifts online
\nat http:\/\/www.partylite.biz\/sites\/melissapearl\/productcatalog and entering
\nRyan Preece\u2019s name after clicking on Look Up Your Host, or by calling Missy
\nPearl at 860-608-6043.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be helping Ryan raise money for Make-A-Wish,\u201d said Pearl.
\n\u201cPeople can order either online through my PartyLite website or by calling
\nme directly. 25% of my profits will go towards Ryan\u2019s total for Make-A-Wish
\nand I hope to sell a lot of candles to help Ryan be one of the top
\nfundraisers and get him a preferred starting spot in the CARQUEST Champions
\nFor Charities feature race.\u201d.<\/p>\n
After winning the Stafford SK Modified\u00ae championship last season, Preece
\nwill have a full slate of racing ahead of him this season as he will race
\nweekly at Thompson and Stafford as well as taking over the wheel of the #16
\ncar on the Whelen Modified Tour that was formerly piloted by Mike Stefanik.
\n\u201cThe way the schedule is there are no conflicts, so we\u2019ll be at Stafford for
\nall the races to try to win another championship,\u201d said Preece. \u201cIt was
\nnice to win the championship last year and we\u2019ll try to win it again, but
\nwith the competition level at Stafford, that is asking a lot. You really
\nhave to be on you\u2019re A-game at Stafford, but we have the car, the team, and
\nthanks to sponsors like American Lamp Recycling, Sullivan and Sons, J.G.
\nPoulin Drywall, CD Chassis, Racing Electronics, Hitchcock Pool Water, and
\nPettit Racing Engines, we have more than enough to go out and get the job
\ndone.\u201d<\/p>\n
