Against All Odds: Dean Lambros Becomes Stafford Speedway’s 700th Different Feature Winner

by Lou ModestinoJuly 3, 2025

(Stafford Springs, CT)—As Stafford Speedway approached the historic milestone of its 700th different feature winner, few would have guessed that 20-year-old SK Light rookie Dean Lambros would be the one to etch his name into the record books. Entering the 2025 season, Lambros had made just three starts in the SK Light division, with a best finish of tenth. His racing background consisted mostly of go-karts, Legend Cars with the Korner family and CJ D’Addario of 860 Motorsports, and a handful of races in formula-style cars—hardly the typical résumé of a driver expected to reach Victory Lane so early in their modified career. But Lambros defied the odds on June 27th. Driving Joey Ferrigno’s #67 Wicked Powersports / Skip Barber Racing School modified, he claimed his first SK Light win, and the 700th feature victory in Stafford history, in only his ninth career start.
