TOM FOX JOINS TEAM STAFFORD AS DIRECTOR OF RACING OPERATIONS AND COMPETITION
Tom Fox, a 30 plus year veteran of weekly short
track racing, has joined the Stafford Motor Speedway staff as Director of
Racing Operations and Competition. Fox’s duties during the season will
entail working alongside Frank Sgambato in the Race Control booth during
races and oversee post-race technical inspection in the CBYD Inspection
Zone. Fox joined the SMS staff for the final 4 races of the 2011 season as
an observer to better prepare him for his 2012 duties.
“I’m looking forward to the season,” said Fox. “Last year I was able to
meet the staff, I got to hang out with Frank [Sgambato] on Friday nights,
and I got to see how the operation was run. I know most of the drivers at
Stafford and in all my years of racing, Stafford is one of the finest
facilities that I’ve been to. For a local short track, Stafford is very
well equipped and I’m looking forward to utilizing the facilities they have
for tech inspection and I’m ready to come in and help the team.”
Fox has previously served as Race Director/GM at Waterford Speedbowl, and
Race Director for the NEMA Midget Tour. Fox has 31 years of both Modified
and Late Model experience as a driver and he has two Late Model
championships to his credit while racing at the Waterford Speedbowl.
“We’re happy to have Tom Fox as part of Team Stafford,” said SMS COO/GM Mark
Arute. “With Tom’s experience both on the track as a racer and off the
track as an official, we think he will be an excellent addition to our
Friday night race staff. Tom was able to get a good understanding of the
various parts of our race program last season and we look forward to his
contributions this season.”
Fox’s first event in his new position will be the 41st Annual CARQUEST
Tech-Net Spring Sizzler on April 27-29. Tickets for the CARQUEST Tech-Net
Spring Sizzler are available and on sale now through the SMS Box Office.
