the Year awards are sponsored for the seventh consecutive year by Reliable
Welding and Speed, located at 85 North Street in Enfield, Connecticut.

Reliable Welding and Speed, which is owned by SK Modified® competitor Brad
Hietala and his wife Linda, will present the SK Modified® Rookie of the Year

“We’re happy to be the presenting sponsor of the Rookie of the Year program
for another season,” said Linda Hietala, who along with her husband and
Stafford SK Modified® driver Brad, own Reliable Welding and Speed. “Every
driver in the paddock area has started out as a rookie at some point in
time, and this is a great way for us to be able to give something back to
rookie competitors and help them offset some of their racing costs.
Stafford Speedway is a first class facility where the competition and class
of cars is second to none, and it’s been a lot of fun to be able to give
something back to the racers who do business with us.”

“Reliable Welding and Speed has been a great supporter of Stafford, and
their continued support of our Rookie of the Year program is a great benefit
to our rookie competitors,” said Mark Arute, Stafford Speedway CEO/GM. “It
is partners like Reliable Welding and Speed that help make racing at
Stafford Speedway what it is today. As our weekly racing program has grown
over the past several seasons, Reliable has increased their participation
with us. We began the rookie program with two divisions and now we have
four divisions supported by Reliable. We have enjoyed a great relationship
with Reliable and we hope to be able to continue that relationship well into
the future.”
