STAFFORD SPEEDWAY ADDS NEW ENGLAND TRUCK SERIES TO ITS 2012 CARQUEST FALL
FINAL WEEKEND
With the release of a schedule that has seen many
new events as well as a few new twists and turns to it, Stafford Motor
Speedway has continued to expand its 2012 schedule with the addition of the
New England Truck Series to its 40th Annual CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend that
is scheduled for Sept. 28-Sept. 30. The New England Truck Series (NETS)
will be making only their second ever appearance at Stafford. The trucks
were first at Stafford as part of the PRA Big Car Series event in August
2006 that was won by Chris Correll.
“We’re excited to be racing at Stafford again,” said NETS Director Lorraine
Pard. “The competitor feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly
positive, no one can believe that we’re going to be racing at Stafford
again. We’ve brought the Riverhead trucks into our series, so we have a
pretty good truck count and we’re trying to help our competitors with cost
friendly rules. We handicap our feature lineups from the heat races with
the faster truck starting behind the slower trucks, which makes the racing
more exciting for everyone and we’re looking forward to putting on an
exciting show at Stafford.”
New England Race Trucks feature fiberglass bodies that replicate Ford F150,
Chevy Silverado, and Dodge Ram Trucks. All trucks are powered by either V-8
Ford 302, Chevy 305, Dodge 318, or the GM 602 & 603 Crate motor program.
Each truck has an automatic transmission, ensuring equal power output among
the Ford, Chevy, and Dodge makes. All NETS racing engines feature a
spec-racing carburetor, manifold, cam, electronic ignition, dual reservoir
master brake cylinders for adjustable brake bias, racing coil springs front
and rear, and steel bodied racing shocks. Custom upper A-arms and wedge jack
bolts provide adjustment according to track length and surface.
The 40th Annual CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend will get underway Friday,
September 28 with a practice session for Stafford’s weekly divisions. The
practice session will be open to the public at no charge. The CARQUEST Fall
Final will continue on Saturday, September 29 with qualifying for the Whelen
Modified Tour and heat races for Stafford’s weekly divisions as well as the
Pro-4 Modifieds. Saturday’s racing action will conclude with feature events
for the SK Light, Limited Late Model, DARE Stock, and Pro-4 Modified
divisions. The CARQUEST Fall Final will conclude on Sunday, September 30
with the CARQUEST Belts and Hose Pit Party followed by Stafford’s SK
Modifieds® and Late Models joining the Whelen Modified Tour in feature
action.
Tickets for the CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend are available and on sale now
through the SMS Box Office. Tickets are priced at $38.50 for adult general
admission tickets, $5.00 for children ages 6-14, and children ages 5 and
