TSI
HARLEY-DAVIDSON BRINGING NASCAR WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR
EXCITEMENT TO FANS ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY ONCE AGAIN |
 For
the fifth consecutive season, Stafford Speedway’s
Friday, May 25th Memorial Day Weekend Whelen
Modified Tour event will be sponsored by TSI
Harley-Davidson, the oldest Harley-Davidson dealer
in the state of Connecticut. The race sponsorship
continues a relationship that dates back to the 2006
season when TSI Harley-Davidson sponsored a NASCAR K
& N Pro Series East event at the Connecticut
half-mile. “We’re excited and looking forward to
being involved with the Whelen Modified Tour once
again at Stafford,” said Harry Levesque, Owner of
TSI Harley-Davidson. “The Whelen Modified Tour
certainly has a great fan base and sponsoring this
event is a great way for us to be able to interact
with that fan base to showcase our Harley-Davidson
line of motorcycles as well as the products and
services that we have to offer here at TSI
Harley-Davidson.”
The TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has become one of the
most exciting stops on the Whelen Modified Tour
calendar. The TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has seen last
lap passes for the win as well as duels for victory
between some of the best drivers on the Tour. Whelen
Modified Tour champions Ted Christopher, Tony
Hirschman, Donny Lia, Bobby Santos, III, Ronnie
Silk, and Mike Stefanik have all tasted the fruits
of victory in the TSI Harley-Davidson 125.
Ryan Preece will look to continue his hot streak
during the 2012 season in the TSI Harley-Davidson
125. In the first three races of the 2012 NASCAR
Whelen Modified Tour season, Preece has won the pole
position for each race and he collected his first
victory of the 2012 season last Saturday at
Monadnock Speedway.
Defending Whelen Modified Tour champion Ronnie Silk
will look to put the brakes on Preece’s hot streak
by repeating his TSI Harley-Davidson 125 victory of
one year ago, but the TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has
not had a repeat winner since the 1997-1998 seasons
when Mike Stefanik was victorious in consecutive
years. Bob Garbarino owned cars have won three of
the previous five TSI Harley-Davidson 125’s with
three different drivers: Donny Lia, Chuck Hossfeld,
and Bobby Santos, III.
Silk leads the points standings heading into next
Friday night’s TSI Harley-Davidson 125 with CARQUEST
Tech-Net Spring Sizzler champion Doug Coby only one
point behind. Preece is third in the standings, only
4 points behind Silk.
TSI Harley-Davidson is a full service
Harley-Davidson dealership, with parts, service, and
accessories. TSI Harley-Davidson offers a wide
variety of services including winter storage, free
tire mounting, balancing, and installation, and
rider training classes.
TSI Harley-Davidson has been in operation since
1972, making it the oldest Harley-Davidson dealer in
Connecticut. TSI Harley-Davidson formerly had two

October 2011, the two branches merged into a
superstore, transforming the Ellington location into
a one-stop destination store. TSI Harley-Davidson is

be reached by phone at 860-875-6663. TSI
