the process of sending out special invitations to past and
present open wheel championship winning drivers to make
up the starting field for the 2nd Annual CARQUEST Champions
For Charities race. The CARQUEST Champions For Charities
race will be part of the CARQUEST Super Saturday program,
which will feature the ISMA Supermodifieds, NEMA Midgets,
and Pro-4 Modifieds. The special invitation only field of
open wheel champions will sit behind the wheel of Wild Thing
Kart Senior Outlaw karts and participate in a special 15-lap
race while raising money for a charity of their choosing.
Former DARE Stock driver
Barry Fluckiger has started a new chassis business venture
that will cater to Late Model, Limited Late Model, and DARE
Stock drivers from Stafford Motor Speedway. After lending
his chassis expertise and skills on a limited basis over
the past few seasons, Fluckiger has gone full-time and started
Fluckiger Race Chassis after his family sold their Kar Kare
business to Bolles Motors.
Stafford Motor Speedway has
announced that it will once again partner with the very
best in tires and wheels to bring racing fans the 12th Annual
Town Fair Tire Summer Blast-Off on Friday, June 15th. The
2012 season will mark the 14th consecutive season that Town
Fair Tire has been partnered with Stafford Motor Speedway's
race program.
Former Wild Thing Kart driver
Tyler Hines is the newest addition to the ever growing SK
Light rookie class at Stafford Speedway for the 2012 NASCAR
Whelen All-American Series season. Hines will take the reins
of the #19 Gunsmoke Stables Ford that was driven the past
several seasons by Steve Greer for his rookie season in
the SK Light division. It was thanks to an association with
the Greer family and a phone call from Steve Greer that
will see Hines living his dream during the 2012 season.
