CARQUEST BELTS & HOSE PIT PARTY USHERS IN A NEW SEASON OF
RACING AT STAFFORD’S CARQUEST TECH-NET SPRING SIZZLER
Stafford Motor Speedway opens its doors to the
racing season with the 41st Annual CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler on April
28-29, with the CARQUEST Belts & Hose Pit Party again ready to serve a
distinguished role in the weekend’s activities. The CARQUEST Belts and Hose
Pit Party gives fans the chance to get up close and personal with their
favorite drivers and cars on the frontstretch infield prior to racing
activities on Sunday, April 29th. Fans will have access to all of the NASCAR
Whelen Modified Tour drivers as well as drivers from Stafford’s five NASCAR
Whelen All-American Series divisions. One driver who will have an extra
special giveaway during this year’s CARQUEST Belts & Hose Pit Party is
Richie Pallai, Jr.
Pallai is the driver of the #39 Bosch Spark Plugs Chevrolet on the NASCAR
Whelen Modified Tour and he is one of the 13 drivers that will be taking
part in the CARQUEST Champions For Charities race as part of CARQUEST Super
Saturday on June 30. As part of his fundraising duties for the Danbury
Animal Welfare Socitey (DAWS), Pallai will be giving away CARQUEST Belts and
Hose tee-shirts during the CARQUEST Belts and Hose Pit Party for a $5.00
donation to DAWS. Pallai’s tee-shrit giveaway will be just one of many
items that will be given away by drivers during the CARQUEST Belts & Hose
Pit Party. Drivers will also be available to sign autographs and pose for
pictures, as well as giving race fans unique access to their chariots of
speed that they hope will carry them to CARQUEST Victory Lane during this
year’s CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler Weekend.
The CARQUEST Belts and Hose Pit Party turns 23 this year as the very first
Stafford Pit Party was held in 1990. Stafford saw how successful the pit
party concept was during its Monster Truck events, and they decided to
implement the Pit Party as part of the race weekend festivities for the
first time at the 1990 CARQUEST Fall Final Weekend. While the pit party
concept was new to weekly New England race tracks, it has gained in
popularity throughout the years and is now considered an industry standard
at many tracks throughout the northeast. CARQUEST Belts and Hose became the
title sponsor of the Stafford Pit Party in 2007, making the 2012 season the
5th consecutive year that Stafford’s pit parties have carried title
sponsorship from CARQUEST Belts and Hose.
