Republican, Friday, July 7, 2006 SPORTS 10 C5 NASCAR stars in region One of the special guests at Thompson International Speedway's upcoming event is nicknamed "Mr. Excitement." The other is arguably NASCAR's class clown. NASCAR stars Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace will be entering the Pro All-Star Stock (PASS) Series race Wednesday at Thompson, challenging the field of regulars in the 75-lap feature. "These drivers want to race," Thompson owner Don Hoenig said. "They both feel that race fans love to watch Nextel Cup drivers take on the local stars in a hotly contested short track race." Spencer is no stranger to the oval, having raced there many times in the old NASCAR Winston Modified Series during the 1980s.
Wallace, younger brother of the legendary Rusty Wallace, is making his first Thompson appearance. Joining the racing duo will be John Roberts, their co-host on Speed Channel's "NASCAR This Morning" and "NASCAR Victory Lane." Roberts will introduce Spencer and Wallace to the crowd. Spencer has a reputation for speaking his mind frankly, which tends to get under his competitors' skin. In recent years, he's best known for his war of words with Kurt Busch. Wallace, meanwhile, is one of the funniest and most sponsorfriendly drivers on any NASCAR circuit.
CLASH TIME: Stafford Motor Speedway certainly won't let itself be outdone by Thompson's show of NASCAR star power. Coming off a successful debut last year, the track is presenting its third annual Carquest Extreme Tuesday on July 11. The highlight will be a 15-lap match race with the Premier Racing Association's Big Car Series cars as the vehicles of choice. The list of competitors is a who's who of racing: two-time Indy 500 winner Al Unser NASCAR Auto icon Rusty Wallace, forracing mer Indy Racing JASON League driver REMILLARD Sarah Fisher, USAC Silver Crown Series star, Dave Steele and dirt-racing legend Sammy Swindell. Swindell finished second to Nextel JASON REMILLARD Cupper Ken Schrader in last year's match race in Silver Crown cars.
The race also featured modified legend Bentley Warren and Nextel Cup drivers Carl Edwards and Dave Blaney. EARNING A 100: Last year's winner of the ASB Late Model 100 indirectly helped Ryan Posocco win this year's event at Stafford. Scott Foster who won the 100-lapper last July, was leading on lap 88 when his car's transmission broke. Posocco, the three-time defending Late Model points champion, assumed the lead and held off Monson's Jim Peterson for his first victory of 2006. DADDY'S GIRL: South Hadley's Lori-Jo Rzeszutek, daughter of Late Model veteran Joe Rzeszutek, picked up her first career DARE Stock victory at Stafford last Friday.
"Wow! I'm just so happy to be here," said an excited Rzeszutek. "It's special to be in victory lane where my dad has been." MORE 100'S: NASCAR's top two regional series the Busch East Series and Whelen Modified Tour held 100-lap races last week at Thompson. Matt Kobyluck of Uncasville, won his first Busch East event of the season and now has at least one win at each Connecticut track the series has been Stafford, Thompson, Waterford and Lime Rock. Another Connecticut native, Todd Szegedy of Ridgefield, was victorious in the Whelen Modified New England Dodge Dealers 100. It was Szegedy's first Tour win in nearly two years.

Westfield's Josh Walts won his first career 1200cc feature, taking the lead after his father, Jack, was caught up in a crash on the seventh lap.
