Stafford Springs, CT Tuesday night, July 8th, was the 5th annual CARQUEST Extreme Tuesday program at Stafford Motor Speedway. Chris Perley scored his third ISMA Supermodified feature victory at Stafford in five years by winning the 50-lap feature, Bobby Santos, III was the winner of the 30-lap NEMA Midget feature, and Norm Wrenn was the winner of the 25-lap Pro-4 Modified feature event.
In the 50-lap ISMA Supermodified feature event, it was Chris Perley taking his third victory at Stafford in five years. Kelly Miller took the lead at the green and he led the first 17 laps before Mike Lichty took over the race lead. Lichty had his car working in the high groove, as he took second from Jeff Abold and the lead from Miller on the high side. But Lichty’s good run ended one lap later as a flat right rear tire ended his night against the turn 1 wall, which gave the lead of the race back to Miller.

Stafford Springs, CT – It’s no surprise to race fans that Chris Perley won the Carquest Stafford Xtreme ISMA race Tuesday night. After all he has been winning a lot in the past couple of years. But it was a bit of a surprise to Perley. It was not by any means an easy or expected win. “I really didn’t think we’d be here tonight,” said Perley in victory lane. “Right from the start of the race I thought I’d be going backwards. I am really surprised.”

Perley, who started in his usual twelfth place on the grid, would come to battle old rival Russ Wood for the win, but had luck been kinder to Kelly Miller or Mike Lichty, Perley and Wood might have been battling for third and fourth. Lichty lost a tire while leading and Miller would blow a motor big time, leaving Wood and Perley in a déjà vu fight up front. “It was a crazy race,” indicated Perley, “It reminded me of one at Seekonk where Woody and I swapped the lead back and forth and you’re wondering how long your tires are going to last doing that. I want to thank Russ for coming back and putting a show on.”

Naples ME (July 8, 2008) When the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late models roll into Thompson (CT) International Speedway this Saturday, Cassius Clark will still be looking for his first 2008 visit to the PASS winners’ circle in the Full Fendered Frenzy 75.
It’s not that Clark is having a bad season; far from it. He’s annexed five top ten finishes in his first five PASS North starts of 2008, and sits atop the series point standings. He’s finished second at Wiscasset (twice) and at White Mountain Motorsports Park. But the Farmington Maine speedster has always felt that taking the checkers first is the only way to have a good day at the races. He doesn’t race to finish second, period.

Seekonk, MA — Seekonk Speedway celebrated Independence Day with a capacity crowd, and a Thrill Show that featured a $2,000 to win Demolition Derby. When it was all said and done, Kyle DiFusco of Warwick RI reigned supreme, besting over 100 cars that were on hand for the evenings festivities.
The afternoon started with 80+ brave souls who brought their everyday sedan out for the Spectator Drags. It came down to Bryan Hartling and Jose Rodriguez racing their machines over a 2 lap distance. It was Corvette against Camaro. At the end, Pawtucket’s Rodriguez put his Corvette into Victory Lane.
