Mike Stefanik survived several restarts in the closing laps and picked up a NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour win in the Granite State Classic on Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Under perfect weather conditions, Stefanik, out of Coventry, R.I., in the No. 16 Diversified Metals/R.B. Enterprises Pontiac, earned his first win of the season and the 71st of his Tour career by edging Woody Pitkat at the line. It was Stefanik’s seventh win at the track and first since Aug. 2, 1998. Additionally, it was his first overall victory since winning at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway on Sept. 27, 2009.
The runner-up marked the best career finish for Pitkat, from Stafford, Conn.
Todd Szegedy crossed the line in the third position followed by Justin Bonsignore and Eric Beers in fourth and fifth, respectively. Bobby Santos, Ryan Preece, Glenn Tyler, Erick Rudolph and Doug Coby rounded out the top 10.
Pit stops in the middle portion of the race shuffled the field which left Stefanik and Pitkat at the front to battle it out through two red flags brought out by separate multi-car accidents.
Perennial championship contender and five-time New Hampshire winner Ted Christopher experienced mechanical problems on Lap 33 and had to go behind the wall for repairs relegating him to a 28th-place finish.
In Friday’s qualifying session, defending Tour champion Bobby Santos claimed his second Coors Light Pole Award of the 2011 season and the sixth of his career. It was, however, his first at the New Hampshire track.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is in action next on Wednesday, Aug. 24 at the legendary Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway for a combination event with the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour. The event is set to be telecast on SPEED at 6 p.m. ET.
