Judkins 2x Modified Returning to Stafford Speedway with Ryan Preece for Inaugural Shark Cycle 100

Published at September 2, 2010 in Stafford and TVMRS. 0 Comments

Stafford Springs, CT — When the Modified Racing Series makes its debut appearance at Stafford Motor Speedway on Sept. 10 for the Shark Cycle 100, there will be a car very familiar to Stafford fans of yesteryear attempting to make the starting lineup. Returning to Stafford will be the red #2x Bob Judkins owned machine, driven by his grandson Ryan Preece. Preece has run the 2x previously at New Smyrna Speedway, but this will mark the first race in the North for the driver/car combination. The 2x has seen some of modified racing’s best drivers behind the wheel throughout the years including Rene Charland, Ron Bouchard, Geoff and Brett Bodine, and Jerry Marquis.

“That number has been in my family for a long ti me and it would be really nice to have the car going good at Stafford,” said Preece. “I ran the 2x at New Smyrna and won with it down there, but this will be the first time running the car up north. I’m sure that a lot of fans from way back when will be at Stafford for the race and I’m sure those fans will like seeing the 2x on the track. It would be very special to me if we were able win the race, I’m definitely looking forward to it and hopefully we can have a good run.”

Among the expected 40 entrants for the Inaugural Shark Cycle 100, Preece can count himself among the experienced drivers at Stafford with 1 victory and 2 poles in Whelen Modified Tour competition over the past four seasons. Preece has also made 10 starts thusfar in the SK Modified® division at Stafford and he has come tantalizingly close to victory lane.

“I think that the guys who have experience will usually prevail,” said Preece. “I think the last race at Thompson showed that the Modified Tour guys had an advantage, but there are some good drivers on the MRS and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are 8-10 cars that will be racing for the win at Stafford.”

Todd Owen Looks for Change of Fortunes in Modified Racing Series Shark Cycle 100 at Stafford Speedway

Published at September 2, 2010 in Stafford and TVMRS. 0 Comments

Stafford Springs, CT)—For Stafford Motor Speedway SK Modified® regular Todd Owen, when it comes to his limited forays into the Modified Racing, Series this season, he hasn’t had the best of luck on his side. In his two Modified Racing Series starts this season, Owen has recorded finishes of 21st at Waterford and 25th at Thompson after losing a transmission and getting caught up in a wreck. Owen will be behind the wheel of the #29 Luther Hosmer owned car at Stafford and he hopes that his experience will help him to his second career Modified Racing Series victory.

“The car always runs good at Thompson, so we’re hoping that we can have another good run at Stafford,” said Owen. “It’s going to be a tough race for sure. There will be a variety of guys who are coming to Stafford for the first time versus guys with a lot of experience at Stafford. I think the guys with the experience will have a big advantage over the guys with no experience. Stafford is a tough track and you have to know the line and how to run that line to be fast. But there’s several guys who run well no matter what track the Modified Racing Series is at, so it’s going to be an interesting race to see.”

Before one can win the race, they must first get qualified for the race. There will be 40 cars racing for 28 spots in the Shark Cycle 100. The Modified Racing Series teams draw for their heat race starting positions and they must start the race on the tires that they qualify on, which can lead to some exciting racing.

Waterford, CT. – With only five races remaining on the 2010 schedule, the Modified Racing Series, sponsored by Bob Valenti AutoMall.com, returns to the Waterford, CT., Speedbowl Saturday night, September 4, with one of the hottest battles for the series championship in the seven year existence of the tour.

Engine issues for the point leader, an off night for the series defending champion, a dedicated car-owner and hard working pit crew, a well deserved win fought by one of the series young stars, last week at Thompson, CT., has created a log jam at the top of the standings.

Dwight Jarvis, Ascutney, VT., suffered engine problems during practice at Thompson forcing the point leader and former series champion out of the event. Jon McKennedy, East Chelmsford, MA., second in the standings, was off the mark and involved in a late race incident resulting in a 24th place finish, leaving him in a first place tie with Les Hinckley, Windsor Locks, CT.

Excitement Building for Modified Racing Series Debut at Stafford Speedway with Shark Cycle 100

Published at August 26, 2010 in Stafford and TVMRS. 0 Comments

Stafford Springs, CT — With the Modified Racing Series making its debut appearance at Stafford Motor Speedway on Friday, Sept. 10th, it is in the midst of its most competitive season with 10 different winners in 12 races and a tight points race. There was a palpable buzz in the air when the Stafford race was announced back in December and the buzz has picked up steam as the race approaches with such an exciting points race and the number of different feature winners.

“Everyone is looking forward to coming to Stafford,” said Modified Racing Series President Jack Bateman. “I think that most of our racers are unfamiliar with Stafford, which usually makes for an interesting race. Stafford is the jewel of modified racing and we’re all looking forward to being able to race there. We are expecting to have about 32-36 cars when we come to Stafford, and we are going to start 28 cars for the feature.”

Dwight Jarvis currently leads defending Modified Racing Series champion Jon McKennedy by a mere 5 points with Les Hinckley sitting in third place, 39 points behind Jarvis. The truly amazing part of the 2010 championship fight is that Jarvis is leading the points after missing the series’ opening race in Waterford at the end of April. Jarvis has been consistently good this season, winning the series’ second race of the year at Monadnock while earning 3 second place and 2 third place finishes to go along with his victory. With the exception of an 18th place finish at Oxford Plains in July, Jarvis has finished in the top-10 every time he has taken to the track this season, while McKennedy and Hinckley have both experienced several hiccups as they try to maintain pace with Jarvis in the race for the championship. The series has had 10 different winners in 12 races this season, with only Hinckley and Steven Masse able to record multiple feature victories.

This time it was Les Hinckley from Windsor Locks, CT, who hounded him to the finish line; Stephen Masse, who had done the honors back on July 28, had a dreary day, unable to get really into the thick of the action. Jon McKennedy, Chelmsford, MA, who had taken third earlier, had a strong fourth place finish and led early laps before Annarummo went to the lead. Dwight Jarvis, Ascutney, VT, finished third and Seekonk veteran Jimmy Kuhn from West Bridgewater, MA, took fifth.

Preston, CT, driver Ken Barry jumped out to the lead from his pole position, followed by McKennedy from the outside pole. Chris Pasteryak, Lisbon, CT, making a return from a broken wrist which interrupted his midseason, grabbed third from his inside second row starting slot. Annarummo started down low in the third row and was on tap for fourth out of the starting blocks.

The very fast field strung into a line and began turning in fast laps until Jack Bateman of Canaan, NH looped it in the second turn on lap six. The restart had Barry, McKennedy, Pasteryak and Annarummo in that order, with Pennsylvanian Rowan Pennink and Vermonter Dwight Jarvis in the third row.
