STAFFORD SPEEDWAY TO HAVE B-MAIN FOR SK MODIFIEDS IN 2001
(Stafford Springs,
CT)---Stafford Motor Speedway held its' annual competitor meetings last week.
Over 100 drivers and owners were in attendance for the SK Modified division's
meeting. A major announcement was made at the meeting.
Beginning next year, Stafford Motor Speedway will host double SK Modified
features. The features will be divided into A and B main formats. All drivers
not qualifying for the A-main feature through heat and consolation races will
have an opportunity to advance through the Coors Light 21 Means 21 B-main
feature. The 21 Means 21 race will be run every Friday night and will be
sponsored by Coors Light.
The race will be a 21-lap feature that will start 21 cars and will transfer the
top-2 finishers to the 50-lap A main feature. The race will not offer SK
Modified championship points, but will offer competitors a small purse to be
distributed among the 21 means 21 competitors. The 21 Means 21 feature will
allow Stafford Motor Speedway SK Modified competitors not only an opportunity to
transfer to the 50-lap A-main that is the cornerstone of Stafford Motor Speedway
competition, but an opportunity to gain all-important seat and track time.
"The 21 Means 21 race is something that we feel very strongly about,"
said Stafford CEO Mark Arute. "This race will allow competitors to gain
experience racing an SK Modified at Stafford Motor Speedway. With our racing
program the way it was last year, a lot of competitors were going home with as
little as 10 or 12 laps on the track during a night. With this race, competitors
will have more laps to learn the track and give them a better baseline for
set-ups than they had last year. This race will also offer competitors who don't
race in the A main a small cash amount, where last year competitors were going
home with nothing."
"We're thrilled with the addition of the 21 MEANS 21 B-Main feature
race," said Rich Wordon, of Coors Brewing Company of Connecticut.
"Providing drivers an opportunity to race into the A main feature and at
the same time creating awareness of our 21 Means 21 program is very important to
us and Stafford Motor Speedway."
