The first RaceDayCT Stafford Speedway Build Your Team Pick ‘Em contest came down to a feisty duel at the top of the podium.
The top three finishers in the contest were separated by three points.
In the end it was David Maille, with a team consisting of Michael Bennett, George Bessette Jr., Tom Fearn, Andrew Molleur (Late Model), Teddy Hodgdon, Chris Meyer, Alexandra Fearn and Burt Ouellette taking the honors in our first try at the contest.
Contestants had to build an eight driver team from eight designated driver groupings for the contest. Each driver’s points were determinted by their finishing position in their feature Friday at Stafford Speedway. The team with the lowest amount of points won.
Maille’s team finished the night with 70 points, winning by a single point.
Brian Silver, with a team made up of Todd Owen, George Bessette Jr., Bryan Narducci, Paul Arute, Michael Gervais Jr., Bob Charland, Alexandra Fearn and Adrian Paradis III was second with 71 points.
Doug Ferraguto was the only one of 14 entrants to have two feature winners on his team. Ferraguto had a team made up of Michael Bennett, Ronnie Williams, Tyler Chapman, David Arute, Teddy Hodgdon, Paul Varracchio Jr., Alexandra Fearn and Nick Hovey
Interestingly, of the 112 picks chosen by the 14 entrants, only four feature winners were chosen overall. Late Model competitor Chris Meyer had Late Model feature winner Kevin Gambacorta on his team and Modified veteran Woody Pitkat had SK Modified feature winner Dave Arute on his team.
