Welcome, 2009. If the offseason is any indication of what's to come, I'm pretty sure it'll be a happy new year. On Wednesday, it was announced that a former track champion was coming back, and a familiar face will be joining forces with the current Late Model champion.
First, it's the return of a champion. Clark Motorsports had won a Late Model championship in '07 with Corey Hutchings, and two years later, they've teamed up with a man who certainly knows his way around the half-mile. Jay Stuart will be returning to Stafford this season. Stuart states that since his last full season in '03, he wanted to return but just never found the right opportunity. He's bringing in sponsorship to a car that will already be sponsored by Arbitell Convenience Stores and Kennedy CDL Training. This is one driver/owner combination that should be taken very seriously, methinks.
To the other story, which includes the most winningest driver in the history of SMS. Combined, Ryan Posocco and Ted Christopher have won ten championships and 144 features at Stafford, but in '09, they'll be joining forces. Albeit for a partial season. The Kretschman team welcomes TC into the #18 machine in the upcoming season. The ride will be sponsored by motorsportsnewengland.com, and it will be out on the track for about four or five races (more if TC's schedule allows them).
A little more than three months until the Spring Sizzler, and already, the new year starts with a bang.
After my hiatus since May, I've decided on a new lease on life. I've re-emerged from the dark layers of hell with a new location for all things VFT1.
