TOWN FAIR
TIRE PRESENTS VMRS
ON JUNE 20th AT STAFFORD |
The
Valenti Modified Racing Series returns to Stafford
for the first of 3 appearances during the 2014
season on June 20th with the race being brought to
you by Town Fair Tire. The 2014 season will mark the
16th consecutive season that Town Fair Tire has been
an advertising partner at the famous Connecticut
half-mile track.
Coming into the Town Fair Tire 80, The VMRS has had
5 different winners in their first five races: Keith
Rocco won the season opener at Waterford, Rowan
Pennink won at Monadnock, Richard Savary won at
Seekonk, Tommy Barrett, Jr. won at Thompson, and
Steve Masse was the most recent VMRS winner at
Seekonk. The same parity has applied to Stafford
when hosting a VMRS race. In the 8 VMRS races held
to date at Stafford, the only repeat winner has been
Barrett. Other VMRS feature winners at Stafford
include Ted Christopher, Keith Rocco, Chris
Pasteryak, Jon McKennedy, Steve Masse, and Ryan
Preece.
A new face among the VMRS ranks this year is former
NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Todd Szegedy,
who is driving the #85 car that was formerly driven
by Louie Mechalides. Szegedy has finished each of
the first five races in the top-10 and he enters the
Town Fair Tire VMRS 80 as the points leader. Szegedy
currently leads 2008 and 2011 VMRS champion Chris
Pasteryak by 20 points with Rowan Pennink third in
the standings, 23 points behind Szegedy. With such
parity both in the series and the series races at
Stafford, it’s anyone’s guess as to who will claim
the checkered flag in the Town Fair Tire VMRS 80.
Prior to their sponsorship of this year’s Town Fair
Tire VMRS 80, Town Fair Tire has been involved in a
variety of events and advertising at Stafford. Town
Fair Tire started out in 1999 as a PitStopper
Magazine and Billboard advertiser, and since then
they have stepped up their participation over the
years as the title sponsor of the Town Fair Tire
Summer Heat, the August NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
event, Town Fair Tire Summer Blast-Off, and last
season they were the sponsor of Town Fair Tire
Military Appreciation Night.
“We’re happy to be returning as a sponsor to
Stafford this year,” said Jim Uliano, V.P. of
Marketing for Town Fair Tire. “We’ve been associated
with Stafford Speedway for the past 15 years and we
really enjoy being a part of the program there.
Stafford Speedway has some of the most enthusiastic
race fans that we come across, and it makes for a
great night interacting with those folks at the Town
Fair Tire trailer. Sponsoring an event at Stafford
is a great way for us to be able to showcase not
only the wide variety of tires that we have to
offer, but also to showcase our rims and wheels. The
crowds at Stafford are always excellent and we’re
looking forward to another great night of racing and
meeting and greeting all the great race fans at the
trailer on the midway.”
