Cue the theme from “Shaft.” It’s time for “the greatest race in the history of spring.”
Stafford (Conn.) Motor Speedway is holding a two-day opening event this weekend, both sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts. Saturday sees the Granite State Pro Stock Series headline Opening Day with a 75-lap feature. Also competing will be Stafford’s signature division — the SK Modifieds (40 laps) — along with Late Models (30), Limited Late Models (20) and Street Stocks (20).
However, the highlight of the weekend is one of the track’s trademark events — the Spring Sizzler. Although Stafford is not racing this year with a NASCAR sanction, the Sizzler’s traditional 150-lap NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race is still a go. The SK’s will race another 40-lapper, the SK Lights will race 20, and the Vintage All-Stars will circle the half-mile 15 times.
