Stafford Springs, CT — After an up and down rookie season that saw him finish 17th in the SK Light Modified points standings, Stafford Springs native Shayne Prucker will return to his hometrack this season with Mainline Heating and Supply as his sponsor for the second consecutive season. After his rough 2010 season, he is looking to push ahead and is setting his goal to capture the 2011 SK Light Modified championship.
“I really think we have a good chance at winning the championship this year,” said Prucker. “Last year we had more bad luck than good, and every time we thought something worked for us, it seemed like things changed. Our goal is to get to the front, and be a strong contender throughout the season in every race.”
Prucker and the Mainline Heating & Supply team had a great start to their rookie season with a solid ninth place finish in the CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler event.
