(Stafford Springs, CT)—As the saying goes, the only two things in life that are certain are death and taxes. With a third consecutive NAPA Spring Sizzler victory to kick off the 2025 season, Matt Clement and the #59 Utility Services New England Limited Late Model team could be added to that cliché as perpetual winners of the season opening event. Clement’s third consecutive NAPA Spring Sizzler victory was his fourth overall Sizzler victory, meaning that nearly 25% of his 21 career feature wins have come in that event.
