Paul Varricchio, Jr. Has Sights Set on 2025 Late Model Championship at Stafford Motor Speedway

by Lou ModestinoMarch 14, 2025

(Stafford Springs, CT)—Heading into the 2025 season at Stafford Motor Speedway, Late Model driver Paul Varricchio, Jr. and his #39 Tavern On The Trax team have their sights set high. Varricchio is coming off his best ever season at Stafford, having recorded his first 2 career Late Model feature victories and finishing second in the standings behind Kevin Gambacorta.

“The outlook for 2025 is to win every race possible and win the Stafford Speedway Late Model championship,” said Varricchio. “That’s our goal and with our team and car I feel like we got this. We just have to maintain our cool throughout the season and go from there. It’s no good if the driver is falling out of his tree every week and this year we’re not going to look at points because that really killed us last year.
