(Stafford Springs, CT)—For Jake Johnson and the #15 Lin’s Propane Trucks Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series team, racing at Stafford Speedway has been a mixed bag of results.  Prior to the 2025 season, Johnson had made five career starts at Stafford with a best finish of second in the 2022 NAPA Fall Final, but also three finishes outside the top-20.  Although Johnson and the #15 team have only made two starts in 2025, they seemed to have put their Stafford troubles behind them.  Johnson led almost half of the NAPA Spring Sizzler® in April before a crash on a restart left him with a 22nd place finish and they won the GAF Modified Masters 80 in July.  With their newfound success, Johnson and his team are looking forward to returning to Stafford on Saturday, September 27 for the NAPA Fall Final.
