Town Fair Tire to Sponsor June 20 VMRS Event at Stafford
Stafford Springs, CT — Stafford Motor Speedway has announced that Town Fair Tire has signed on to become the title sponsor of the June 20 Valenti Modified Racing Series event. The 2014 season will mark the 16th consecutive season that Town Fair Tire has been an advertising partner at the famed Connecticut half-mile track.
Prior to their sponsorship of this year’s Town Fair Tire VMRS 80, Town Fair Tire has served in wide variety of sponsorship options at Stafford. Town Fair Tire started out in 1999 as a PitStopper Magazine and Billboard advertiser, and since then they have stepped up their participation to become the title sponsors of Town Fair Tire Summer Heat, the August NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event, Town Fair Tire Summer Blast-Off, and last season the sponsor of Town Fair Tire Military Appreciation Night.
“We’re happy to be returning as a sponsor at Stafford this year,” said Jim Uliano, V.P. of Marketing for Town Fair Tire. “We’ve been associated with Stafford Speedway for the past 15 years and we really enjoy being a part of the program there. Stafford Speedway has some of the most enthusiastic race fans that we come across, and it makes for a great night interacting with those folks at the Town Fair Tire trailer. Sponsoring an event at Stafford is a great way for us to be able to showcase not only the wide variety of tires that we have to offer, but also to showcase our rims and wheels. The crowds at Stafford are always excellent and we’re looking forward to another great night of racing and meeting and greeting all the great race fans at the trailer on the midway.”
Last year’s Town Fair Tire VMRS 80 was won by Tommy Barrett, Jr., making him the first repeat VMRS feature winner at Stafford in 8 races. Former Stafford ProStock and Whelen Modified Tour competitor Dave Etheridge took the early race lead and drove away from the field, only to have his large lead erased by a caution flag with 21 laps to go. Barrett used the restart to his advantage to get around Etheridge and he then had to hold off a hard charging Steve Masse, who would win at Stafford in August, in order to take the checkered flag.
