Stafford Provides Plenty Of Great Memories For Santos

By admin August 8, 2007

Bobby Santos has spent his entire racing career bouncing between different types of cars. So it’ll be no big deal for the 21-year-old from Franklin, Mass. when – less than a week after running in the ARCA race at Pocono Raceway – he’s back in a NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour car.

“I’m so used to it, I guess, because it’s all I’ve ever done,” said Santos, who will be back behind the wheel of the No. 3 Roby’s Propane/ Cape Cod Copper Ford for Friday’s New England Dodge Dealers 150 at Stafford (Conn.) Motor Speedway.

Eighteen year-old Joey “Pole” Polewarczyk, Jr. joined the list of American-Canadian Tour race winners on Saturday night at Seekonk Speedway on the Massachusetts seacoast. Pole is the second first-time ACT winner at the legendary 1/3-mile “Cement Palace,” equaling a feat recorded by Steve Fisher back in 2004. Interestingly, both drivers found themselves racing for the win with six-time ACT Late Model Tour king Jean-Paul Cyr, and both came out on top; Pole fought on the outside for 20 laps before passing Cyr with less than 40 laps remaining, while Fisher spent more time chasing Cyr, but won in a more dramatic, last-lap maneuver as Cyr’s right-front suspension broke in the final corner.

Both drivers were due to take their first victories, both scored them at one of the toughest bullring joints around, and both were good enough, lucky enough, or a combination of the two to beat Jean-Paul Cyr.
