\n(Stafford Springs, CT)—For the fifth consecutive season, Stafford Speedway
\n\u2019s Friday, May 25th Memorial Day Weekend Whelen Modified Tour event will be
\nsponsored by TSI Harley-Davidson, the oldest Harley-Davidson dealer in the

\ndates back to the 2006 season when TSI Harley-Davidson sponsored a NASCAR K
\n& N Pro Series East event at the Connecticut half-mile. The race will
\n\u201cWe\u2019re excited and looking forward to being involved with the Whelen
\nModified Tour once again at Stafford,\u201d said Harry Levesque, Owner of TSI
\nHarley-Davidson. \u201cThe Whelen Modified Tour certainly has a great fan base
\nand sponsoring this event is a great way for us to be able to interact with
\nthat fan base to showcase our Harley-Davidson line of motorcycles as well as
\nthe products and services that we have to offer here at TSI
\n Harley-Davidson.\u201d

\nHirschman, Donny Lia, Bobby Santos, III, Ronnie Silk, and Mike Stefanik have
\nall tasted the fruits of victory in the TSI Harley-Davidson 125.<\/p>\n

Ryan Preece will look to continue his hot streak during the 2012 season in
\nthe TSI Harley-Davidson 125. In the first three races of the 2012 NASCAR
\nWhelen Modified Tour season, Preece has won the pole position for each race
\nand he collected his first victory of the 2012 season last Saturday at
\nMonadnock Speedway.<\/p>\n

\nbrakes on Preece\u2019s hot streak by repeating his TSI Harley-Davidson 125
\nvictory of one year ago, but the TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has not had a
\nrepeat winner since the 1997-1998 seasons when Mike Stefanik was victorious
\nin consecutive years. Bob Garbarino owned cars have won three of the
\nprevious five TSI Harley-Davidson 125\u2019s with three different drivers: Donny
\nLia, Chuck Hossfeld, and Bobby Santos, III.<\/p>\n
