(Press release from Stafford Speedway)
NAPA Auto Parts has become synonymous with Stafford Motor Speedway and short track racing since the partnership began in 2014 at the 43rd annual Spring Sizzler®. NAPA and Stafford will continue the relationship for many years to come with an announcement of a partnership extension through 2026.
NAPA Auto Parts is the Official Auto Parts Store of Stafford Motor Speedway and sponsor of multiple events including NAPA Auto Parts Opening Day, NAPA Auto Parts Spring Sizzler®, NAPA Auto Parts SK 5K, NAPA Auto Parts Fall Final, and NAPA Auto Parts Championship Night. The SK Modified® and Late Model Rookie of the Year awards are also a key element of the NAPA program.
“NAPA Connecticut is proud to sign a new multi-year extension with the greatest short track in all of New England,” explained NAPA Connecticut General Manager Domenic Greco. “The entire NAPA Family is looking forward to the upcoming season at Stafford and the continued support from our customers and race fans.”
The Stafford Speedway calendar is highlighted by marquee events such as the NAPA Spring Sizzler®, which is one of the longest running Modified events in the country and will be contested for the 49th time in 2021 on Sunday, April 25th. The NAPA Auto Parts SK 5K has also become one of the biggest events of the summer racing season serving as the annual showcase for Stafford’s extremely competitive SK Modified® division. New for 2021 the season will kick off with NAPA Auto Parts Opening day on Saturday, April 24th, which will feature the debut of the Granite State Pro Stock Series.

I can’t say I use Genuine Auto Parts exclusively however I can say they are my first stop for auto parts price and availability and get first consideration solely based on the Stafford association.
I can also say that Broad Brook Brewing Company has an early new customer as the result of the Fearn/Stafford promotion regularly purchasing Hopstillo IPA at King Package Store in Enfield albeit in small quantities. It’s strong beer.
Finally Hocon is my sole provider of propane and welding gases based on their association with local racing including Stephen Kopcik and hoping that the recent buy out by Air Gas doesn’t change their connection to local racing.
