Stafford Springs, CT — During Stafford Speedway’s 45th Annual NAPA Spring Sizzler®, drivers weren’t just racing for points and a trophy, they were also racing to take home a piece of the $4,500 in contingency bonuses that were posted for the weekend event.
“Our contingency program has grown by leaps and bounds over the years and we’re hopeful to continue to grow and expand the program for our competitors,” said Mark Arute, Stafford Speedway COO/GM. “We are currently on track to pay over $50,000 in contingency money for the 2016 season. I’d like to thank each and every one of our contingency partners for making this possible at Stafford Speedway.”
