Huge Field Expected For Fall Final At Stafford Motor Speedway

One of the most anticipated pavement modified events of the year is shaping up to be a doozy this weekend at Stafford Motor Speedway. The traditional Fall Final race featuring the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series is expected to draw more than 50 of the best modified drivers in the country. 

Currently, 53 drivers are on the most recent entry list for the $15,000-to-win race. The list of drivers entered includes champions from nearly every major modified touring series, big race winners and track champions. 

Matt Hirschman, the winner of the Spring Sizzler earlier this year, has filed his entry with hopes of winning his second major event at Stafford Motor Speedway. 

The driver that Hirschman had to beat to win that race has also filed an entry for Saturday's race. NASCAR Camping World Truck Series winner Ryan Preece will return to his Modified roots aboard his No. 40 Modified looking for his second Fall Final victory. 

One of the Southeast's best Modified drivers is planning to make the trip north to Connecticut to chase his first Fall Final win. Burt Myers, a 10-time champion at Bowman Gray Stadium, will make his second Fall Final appearance after a 10th-place finish in 2018. 

2003 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Todd Szegedy has filed an entry for the event and will be behind the wheel for the first time in over five years. Szegedy has multiple feature wins at Stafford Motor Speedway, including a Fall Final win in 2006. 

Ron Silk, who is currently locked in a tight battle for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, also has plans to compete in the Fall Final. 

Arguably the hottest driver at Stafford Motor Speedway this season, Woody Pitkat, will look to keep momentum on his side after winning three of the track's Open Modified events this summer. 

Four-time track champion Keith Rocco, two-time track champion Ronnie Williams and defending track champion Todd Owen have all filed entries. Chase Dowling, a two-time winner of the track's SK 5K race, will also be a threat to claim the big prize. 

Chuck Hossfeld, who recently scored a second-place finish with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour at Oswego Speedway, will be behind the wheel of the competitive No. 25 owned by Gary Casella. 

Anthony Nocella, a winner with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour on the big stage at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, has also entered the event. 

Other drivers entered include NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour winners Craig Lutz, Patrick Emerling, Eric Goodale and Michael Christopher, Jr., 

All of these drivers and many more will be in action on Saturday with hopes of winning the $15,000 prize. The complete entry list for the Fall Final at Stafford Motor Speedway can be viewed below.
