STAFFORD – It was a day chock full with drama Sunday at Stafford Motor Speedway to close out NAPA Fall Final weekend at the historic half-mile.
Mike Christopher Jr. was back in victory lane in the SK Modifieds.
Alexander Pearl broke through for his first SK Light Modified victory following the fireworks of a championship battle wreck between Marcello Rufrano and Bryan Narducci.
Michael Wray got his second Late Model win of the season.
The Whelen Modified Tour saw its second consecutive first time winner with Kyle Bonsignore celebrating victory in the NAPA Fall Final 150.
And to top it all off, it was coronation day for Justin Bonsignore as he clinched his first Whelen Modified Tour championship.
And capturing all the drama and celebration was RaceDayCT photographer Fran Lawlor.

I really enjoyed the two races that I watched – SK and SKL features. Good crowd and Great weather. If the tour race wasn’t so long i would have stayed for that.
