Stafford Springs, CT — Stafford Motor Speedway has announced that for the fourth consecutive season, the track’s Memorial Day Weekend Whelen Modified Tour event will be sponsored by TSI Harley-Davidson, the oldest Harley-Davidson dealer in the state of Connecticut. The 21st Annual TSI Harley-Davidson 125 will be held on Friday, May 27th at Stafford.

“We’re glad to be back at Stafford for another season,” said Harry Levesque, Owner of TSI Harley-Davidson. “Stafford has been a great place for us to showcase our line of Harley-Davidson bikes. There is a great connection between race fans and Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, and everyone here is looking forward to seeing another exciting Whelen Modified Tour race.”

The TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has become one of the top stops on the Whelen Modified Tour calendar. The TSI Harley-Davidson 125 has seen last lap passes for the win as well as duels for victory between some of the best drivers on the Tour. Whelen Modified Tour champions Donny Lia, Ted Christopher, Tony Hirschman, and Bobby Santos, III have all tasted the fruits of victory in the TSI Harley-Davidson 125. Last year’s race came down to a green white checkered finish with Santos having to hold off a determined Jimmy Blewett to take the victory.
