Thompson, CT — Following two qualifying heat races, Jon McKennedy and Matt Swanson faced-off at the head of the Outlaw Open Modifieds in the Twisted Tea Midsummer 50.

Meghan Fuller Eyes First Win of 2025 in July 11 SK Light Double Down at Stafford

(Stafford Springs, CT)—Meghan Fuller has been one of the top SK Light competitors at Stafford Speedway this season with 4 top-5 and 5 top-10 finishes in 6 starts thus far.

She feels like her first win of the 2025 season is close at hand and that first win could come this Friday night, July 11th in the extra distance 40-lap Monaco Ford SK Light Double Down.
