20 Years Removed and Still Eager to Race

To say that one of the newest entrants into the SK Light division is rookie is stretching the truth a bit. While John Montesanto hasn't raced a modified before, he has, however, had experience racing at Stafford before. Even though Late Models aren't exactly modifieds, this former competitor is ready to jump into the waters known as open-wheeled racing after a hiatus of near 20 years.

The decision to return to racing at Stafford came last year. Montesanto and team visited the track frequently, scoping out the competition and to hopefully get a car in the process. They ended up getting a car through Gary Bienkowski, who owned the #38 for the past two seasons. (That car finished sixth in the standings back in '07, and three finishes on the podium before a crash put the car out of commission last year.)
