Justin Bonsignore To Drive Historic 7NY in Stafford Spring Sizzler
Tommy Baldwin Racing announced today that Justin Bonsignore will drive the historic No. 7NY for the 52nd running of the NAPA Spring Sizzler at Stafford Motor Speedway on April 27-28. Bonsignore will wheel the entry for both the NAPA Duel Race on Saturday and the prestigious 100-lap, $ 20,000-to-win event on Sunday.
The three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion has one Stafford win to his credit on the Tour, sealing the championship with a victory in 2021. He will be looking for his first Sizzler victory at the end of the month in a partnership with Tommy Baldwin Jr. and the team.
“We’re happy to have Justin in the car,” Tommy Baldwin Jr. said. “The NAPA Spring Sizzler has become such a marquee race in the Modified community with a lot of buzz and a lot of money on the line. We’ve had success at Stafford in the last few years and look forward to having Justin behind the wheel to chase the big trophy.”
Bonsignore has driven the No. 7NY before – competing in an Open Modified event at Riverhead Raceway last year, scoring a top-10 finish – and is excited to have the opportunity to drive for Baldwin again.
“Driving the No. 7NY in the Spring Sizzler at Stafford is an honor,” Bonsignore said. “Tommy has been such a major part of the Modified community for so many years and it’s great to have the chance to work with him and his team for this big race. There is going to be a lot of competition at the Sizzler and it should be fun to go out there and contend for the win.”
The NAPA Spring Sizzler at Stafford Motor Speedway includes two, 40-lap NAPA Duel qualifying races on Saturday, April 27, both worth $3,500 to win. On Sunday, the 100-lap race pays $20,000 to win and $4,000 for second – part of a purse that extends over $125,000 for a 32-car field.
