HARLEY-DAVIDSON RENEWS TITLE SPONSORSHIP OF MEMORIAL DAY
WEEKEND WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR EVENT AT STAFFORD SPEEDWAY |
Stafford
Motor Speedway has announced that for the seventh
consecutive season, the track's Memorial Day Weekend
NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event will be sponsored
by TSI Harley-Davidson, the oldest Harley-Davidson
dealer in the state of Connecticut. The 24th Annual
TSI Harley-Davidson 125 will mark the 10th
consecutive season that TSI Harley-Davidson has been
a race title sponsor at Stafford and the race will
be held on Friday, May 23.
TSI first partnered with Stafford Motor Speedway as
a race sponsor in 2005 when they sponsored a NASCAR
K & N Pro Series East event. TSI sponsored an East
Series race from 2005-2007 and then transferred that
sponsorship to the Memorial Day Weekend Whelen
Modified Tour beginning in 2008. TSI Harley-Davidson
has been the presenting sponsor of that race each
year since.
"We're looking forward to another great year at
Stafford," said Harry Levesque, Owner of TSI.
"Stafford Speedway has been and continues to be a
great place for us to be able to reach out to our
target audience and it has been a great place for us
to be able to showcase our line of Harley-Davidson
motorcycles. Last year we were able to debut our
jumpstart, which allows riders to get on a bike and
actually give it some throttle and go through the
gears. A lot of Stafford race fans are also
Harley-Davidson fans, and we have a lot of fun being
able to interact with the fans on race night."
TSI is a full line Harley-Davidson dealer offering
new and pre-owned motorcycles, full service parts
department, and genuine Harley-Davidson clothing and
apparel. TSI's service department is capable of
repairing or restoring both the old and the new.
Their service department also offers full dyno
tuning services and they are the only
Harley-Davidson dealer in Connecticut that can dyno
tune trikes. TSI Harley-Davidson is also the only
dealer in Connecticut that offers Riders Edge new
rider training. Because of their Riders Edge
program, TSI will be the first Connecticut dealer to
have the new Harley-Davidson Street motorcycle on
display.
TSI Harley-Davidson has been in operation since
1972, making it the oldest Harley-Davidson dealer in
Connecticut. TSI is located at 398 Somers Road in
Ellington and they can be reached by phone at
860-875-6663. TSI is also online at
www.tsiharleydavidsion.com, where you can
see the products and services that TSI
Harley-Davidson has to offer. At TSI, it's not about
the destination; it's all about the ride.
The TSI Harley-Davidson 125 continually offers some
of the most exciting racing seen on the NASCAR
Whelen Modified Tour. Last year's TSI
Harley-Davidson 125 saw eventual Whelen Modified
Tour champion Ryan Preece overcome an opening lap
spin and drive his way back through the entire field
to be the first driver to take the checkered flag.
After coming to pit road for new tires and an
adjustment, Preece sliced his way back through
traffic and was able to get around Ronnie Silk to
take the lead on lap-107. Preece led the final 19
laps to pick up his first of three consecutive wins
during the 2013 season and set him on his path to
the 2013 NWMT Championship. Along with Preece,
Whelen Modified Tour champions Doug Coby, 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.
Tickets for the 24th Annual TSI Harley-Davidson 125
are available and on sale now at the Stafford Motor
Speedway Box Office. Tickets are priced at $33.00
