(Stafford Springs, CT)—When Stafford Speedway created the SK Light division prior to the start of the 2006 season, the intent of the division was to provide not only a less expensive open wheel alternative to the track’s premier SK Modified® division, but to serve as a stepping stone to the premier division. Fast forward 18 years and one look at the 2024 SK Modified® standings will show that the stepping stone vision has been realized and then some. The top-5 drivers in the 2024 standings are all SK Light graduates, and going even further, 8 of the top-10 drivers in the standings got their open wheel starts in the SK Light division.
