Gardiner, ME — Stafford Motor Speedway runs four NASCAR Featherlite Modified Tour events per year – each with its own significance. But the eighth annual Stafford 150, scheduled for Friday, August 29, is probably most significant because of the race that follows it.
This race will serve as the final tune-up for one of the NASCAR Featherlite Modified Tour’s most prestigious events – the Stafford 300, and in addition to the immediate rewards that a good performance will provide, a team can come away from the Stafford 150 with a measure of confidence to carry into the Stafford 300.
