Xtra Mart Convenience Stores Adding Xtra Dollars to Stafford Speedway’s 2012 Xtra D Feature Events

Stafford Springs, CT — For the first time in Stafford Motor Speedway history, all five of its NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions will be take to the track for extra distance feature events. Thanks to a partnership with Xtra Mart Convenience Stores, the Xtra D feature events will be called the Xtra Mart Xtra D Series, and drivers will be racing to finish in the top-5 to take home some extra cash from those races. Xtra Mart Convenience Stores will contribute a total of $3,750 in contingency bonuses for the five races that will make up the Xtra Mart Xtra D Series.

The Xtra Mart Xtra Distance contingency bonuses will be split among the top-5 finishers from each Xtra Mart Xtra D Series feature event. The June 8 Coors Light SK Modified® 100 will pay $300 to each top-5 finisher for a total of $1,500, the May 11 Late Model 40 will pay $200 to each top-5 finisher for a total of $1,000, the July 6 SK Light and June 29 Limited Late Model Xtra D features will pay $100 to each top-5 finisher for a total of $500, and the May 18 DARE Stock Xtra D feature will pay $50 to each top-5 finisher for a total of $250 in addition to their purse payouts.

“Xtra Mart Convenience Stores has been involved with Stafford Motor Speedway for many years in part through a very long term sponsorship of the 01 Late Model driven by Jim Mavlouganes,” said Xtra Mart Director of Purchasing Rob Corona. “Xtra Mart could not have asked for a better driver or track to partner with to promote the Xtra Mart name. We look forward to our continued relationship with Jim Mavlouganes and the Stafford Motor Speedway.”

“We’re proud to welcome a company like Xtra Mart to our contingency program,” said SMS COO/GM Mark Arute. “While we have had contingency bonuses for our SK Modified® and Late Model extra distance events in the past, this exciting new program enables all of our divisions to race for a bonus. We think this new Xtra Mart contingency bonus will only add another layer of excitement to the on track action for each feature event of the Xtra Mart Xtra Distance Series.”
