4/26/2026 - Stafford Motor Speedway
Better Spring Sizzler than last year!
Tyler ran his #41 SK Modified, after spending all winter building it we were excited to see how it would go. Practice was fine but the motor needed some attention. Qualifying was tough, he started in the outside lane (P2) and fell back finishing 5th. This had him line up 15th in the 27 car field for the 40 lap feature. He methodically picked off cars and was in 3rd on lap 35. He got shuffled around a bit and fell back to P5 which is where he finished.
Steven had a tough day. He drove the #25 Open Modified owned by Gary Casella for the second time this season. Practice was great, he was 5th fastest out of 26 cars. Qualifying was a bit harder, he wound up 13th. Steven started the heat race P5 and was looking good when he got black flagged after only completing 4 laps, his car was smoking. Unfortunately, a piston went and Steven’s day was over.
Tyler once again was behind the wheel of the Les Hinckley Racing #06 Open Modified. He was 8th fastest in practice, 3rd in qualifying and went from 2nd to 3rd in his heat race. He ended up on the pole (after a draw) for the 100 lap race. That’s when the fun really began! A very exciting race, thrilling last couple laps, and him ending up on the podium, P2!!! A few stats - he led 22 laps, was in 2nd for 57 laps, 3rd for 16 laps, 1 lap in 4th, 2 laps in 5th and 4 laps in 6th (stats a little off, race monitor scored a couple laps twice with different positions most likely due to the cautions). Oh, and he showed as laying down the fastest lap in the field.
Thank you to Gary Casella and the entire #25 crew for the opportunity. A special shout out to Jason, Matt, Anthony, Zach and Gregg for the pit practice sessions at the shop- hopefully we can show off your skills at the next race!
Thank you to Les Hinckley and his team, so grateful for the opportunity to race - that was one fast car!
