Coors Light presents the “Coors Light Silver Cup” for the ARC Pro Stocks
Saturday night, May 24th, Coors Light will be on hand to present the “Coors Light Silver Cup” to the winner of the ARC Pro Stock 75 lap main event. In addition to the glory that goes along with the Silver Cup, the winner of the first of 3 three-quarter century grinds will win a $2,000 payoff. Reigning ARC Pro Stock Champion Dave Darling of Rehoboth MA is the heave favorite going into this event. Not only did he pick up his second title in a row at The Action Track of the East, he picked up 6 wins in 2007 behind the wheel of the Johnson Landscaping Dodge, including both 75 lap grinds. Trying to defend his reign will be a tough feat, considering the competition in 2008.
So far, it has been one name in the Winners’ Circle this season, Scully. Tom Jr. picked up the opening day win, while Tom Sr. was last Saturday nights victor. While Sr. was sidelines all of 07, due to injuries sustained in an opening day crash, Tom Jr. picked up 3 wins, including two 50 lap main events. Also knocking on the door to Victory Lane early this season has been Ken Spencer of Taunton, MA. Ken has been fast, keeping his Pub 76- Francis Farm Chevy leading much of the opening nights’ main event, only to falter late in the race, and finishing in the runner-up spot in last Saturday. Two time Pro Stock Champion Fred Astle Jr., who many have claimed that he has been the fastest so far, is looking to pick up his first win of the season. . Opening night saw the Wood Frame Structures Chevy work his way to the front 2 times, only to finish fourth on opening night, while finishing third in week 2. Other favorites for this event include Matt Hudon, last years DAV Memorial winner, Mike Brightman of Acushnet and rookies Jake Vanada and Ryan Vanasse.
