TIM ROWE RENEWS STAFFORD CONTINGENCY SPONSORSHIP IN MEMORY OF DAVE ROWE, SR.

For the past six seasons, The Davidson Company has
been part of the Stafford Speedway Contingency Program, offering over
$16,000 in bonus money to SK Modified® competitors. Thanks to Tim Rowe,
owner of Davidson Racing, LLC., The Davidson Company will return to Stafford
’s Contingency Program with a unique new format. Rowe will contribute a
total of $150 to the top-3 finishing cars in Stafford’s SK Light Modified
division each week during the 2011 NASCAR Whelen All American Series season.
The new contingency will be called The Davidson Company in Memory of Dave
Rowe, Sr. Award, and will give $75 to each SK Light feature winner, $50 to
each second place finisher, and $25 to each third place finisher this year.

“This is a great way to continue the memory of my father and what he started
at Stafford,” said Rowe. “Dad loved racing, he loved Stafford Speedway, and
most of all he loved being able to help out the competitors, especially the
up and coming drivers. That is why we decided to move the contingency from
the SK Modified® division to the SK Light Modified division this season.

The SK Light division has matured into a great division from it’s beginning
with a lot of young up and coming drivers and my father never got to
experience the level that the SK Lights are at right now. I think if he was
here today, he would have really taken to the SK Lights with all the young
drivers that are part of the division. He always wanted to be part of
helping a young up and coming driver move up the racing ladder, and it is in
that spirit that I am offering this contingency bonus in his memory to the
SK Light drivers this season.”

Dave Rowe, Sr. founded The Davidson Company in 1974, and he was a long-time
supporter of racing at Stafford. Mr. Rowe began sponsoring cars at Stafford
in the early 1990s and that tradition continues strong today as Davidson
Racing, LLC. owns the SK Modified® car of Jeff Malave, the Late Model car of
Michael Bennett, and the SK Light Modified car of defending Stafford track
champion Matt Galko. The Davidson Company is also the primary sponsor of
the #48 Marcia Kretschman owned Late Model with Ryan Posocco as the driver.

The Davidson Company is the largest wholesale specialty food distributor in
Southern New England. The Davidson Company is number one in customer
service, and has been owned and operated by the Rowe Family since 1974.
Davidson offers over 6,000 specialty food products, including the complete
line of Cosmos Antipasto Specialties of West Haven, CT. When you visit your
local grocery store, chances are good that the food you take home with you
came from Davidson’s Wallingford, CT warehouse. For more information about
The Davidson Company and their race teams at Stafford Motor Speedway, visit
