  48. <p>It’s an event known as “The Greatest Race In The History Of Spring”.&nbsp;</p>
  49.  
  50.  
  51.  
  52. <p>In the realm of Modified events in 2024, there are few if any other events that carry the weight and history of the NAPA Spring Sizzler at Stafford Speedway.&nbsp;</p>
  53.  
  54.  
  55.  
  56. <p>On Sunday the NAPA Spring Sizzler 100 will be run for the 52nd time.&nbsp;</p>
  57.  
  58.  
  59.  
  60. <p>Between purse money ($20,000 for first place), qualifying event purse payout and lap money, a winner of the event could earn close to $37,000. Last year’s winner, Ron Silk, earned just over $35,000 for his win in the event.&nbsp;</p>
  61.  
  62.  
  63.  
  64. <p>So what’s the RaceDayCT crystal ball saying? Our picks are below. Drop your picks in the comments section. </p>

  70.  
  71. <p><strong>Picking The Winner:</strong> Based on his start in 2024 and recent appearances at Stafford, it’s hard not to pick Ron Silk for the victory. The reigning NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion has won two of the first three events on that series in 2024. In his last four events at Stafford Silk has a jaw dropping average finish of 1.75. In addition to his win in the 2023 Spring Sizzler, Silk also won the 2022 Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series NAPA Fall Final at Stafford. He was third in the 2022 Spring Sizzler and second in the 2023 NAPA Fall Final. </p>

  358.  
  359. <p>The 52nd running of the Sizzler, an Open Modified event, pins some of the top Modified talent in the Northeast against each other to chase a large amount of cash at one the most historic short-tracks in the country.&nbsp;</p>

  366.  
  367. <p>He competed once in the car last year at Riverhead Raceway, scoring a top-10 finish. The three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion has never won the Spring Sizzler, posting a best finish of second in 2014. He hasn’t competed in the event since 2021.&nbsp;</p>
  368.  
  369.  
  370.  
  371. <p>In Bonsignore’s last Stafford start, he finally posted his first win at the Connecticut half-mile &#8211; a victory that helped him capture his third NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour title.</p>
  372.  
  373.  
  374.  
  375. <p>“The Spring Sizzler is a major event and I’m thrilled that Tommy Baldwin and his team asked me to drive the 7NY for it,” Bonsignore said. “It’s going to be a competitive race with a lot of strategy involved in the whole weekend. We’re looking forward to getting to Stafford and going after the trophy.”</p>
  376.  
  377.  
  378.  
  379. <p>The schedule for Stafford’s Spring Sizzler weekend includes two days of racing. On Saturday, the team will compete in a qualifying heat race and a 40-lap Duel qualifying race worth $3,500 to win. On Sunday, the team will race for a $20,000 prize in the 100-lap NAPA Spring Sizzler feature. All of the racing action for the weekend will air live on FloRacing.TV.</p>

  552.  
  553.  
  554. <p>With modified teams gearing up for the April 27-28 NAPA Spring Sizzler® at Stafford Speedway, Michael Christopher, Jr. is getting himself prepared for double duty as he will be driving the #00 Jimmy Paige Plumbing &amp; Heating Open Modified car for Jimmy Paige as well as his family owned #82 New England Turf / P.T. Watts / Eastport Feeds SK Modified® car.  Christopher ran 2 races with the Paige team last season at Waterford and the NAPA Fall Final at Stafford.  Christopher is looking forward to the Sizzler® and feels like he’ll have what he needs to be a contender for the win in the #00 car.</p>
  555.  
  556.  
  557.  
  558. <p>“I’m excited about the race,” said Christopher.&nbsp; “Jimmy and Steve Lemay, the crew chief, want to do everything in their power to have good finishes and get some wins.&nbsp; We’ve been building in the two races that we ran together at Waterford and Stafford last season making the car faster and I have no doubt that they’ll put the time, effort, and money into making sure that we make the car faster and we can compete for wins.&nbsp; I think we have a lot to build on so I’m looking forward to going racing with those guys.”</p>
  559.  
  560.  
  561.  
  562. <p>Christopher is driving the same #00 car that his late Uncle Ted drove several times for Jimmy Paige.&nbsp; That is a special connection for Christopher and he is hoping that he can deliver the biggest win of his career for both himself as well as Jimmy Paige and all the crew members on the #00 team.</p>
  563.  
  564.  
  565.  
  566. <p>“It’s pretty cool driving the car,” said Christopher.&nbsp; “Those guys share stories with me about when Teddy drove the car and there’s history there so it’s something extra.&nbsp; Winning in a car that Teddy once drove is one thing that you think about but more importantly, it’s the Sizzler® and it’s a big deal.&nbsp; Winning would be big for Jimmy and all his guys also, they’ve been racing for decades and a Sizzler® win would be huge for them.”</p>
  567.  
  568.  
  569.  
  570. <p>The path to NAPA Victory Lane will be a tough road to follow as the Sizzler® entry list is filled with former winners and champions in the modified ranks.</p>
  571.  
  572.  
  573.  
  574. <p>“It’s always tough to win at Stafford,” said Christopher.&nbsp; “It’s looking like we’re going to have the same kind of field as the Fall Final and the Sizzler® last year with Ronnie Silk having a dominant car and obviously Matt Hirschman has a dominant car and team.&nbsp; Those guys seem to be on a different level than everyone else.&nbsp; Just looking back at GoPro footage of Ronnie from last year at Stafford you can see just how easy he drove the race which surprised me watching it back.&nbsp; The competition level at Stafford is a very high bar but the double-zero guys have shown they can run up front at Stafford and I think I know the track pretty well.&nbsp; I think the most important thing for us will be to be strong right from the beginning so we need to have a strong heat race and finish up front in our Duel race so we can be in the top-6 or top-8 for the start of the race.&nbsp; You definitely don’t want to get behind the 8-ball at the start of the race because all those other guys are going to be on it.&nbsp; I think if we can unload fast and have a quick package right out of the truck, I think we can have a top-5 finish.”</p>
  575.  
  576.  
  577.  
  578. <p>Christopher will also be eager to get his SK Modified® season kicked off on a positive note.&nbsp; Last season saw Christopher struggle with the #82 car for much of the year, but the final 4 races plus the TC 13 Shoot Out saw Christopher post four top-5 finishes, including his second win of the year, and an eighth place finish.&nbsp; Christopher was feeling so good about his car at the end of the season that he and his team did minimal work on the car during the winter and are looking to pick back up right where they left off at the end of 2023.</p>
  579.  
  580.  
  581.  
  582. <p>“The SK is ready to go, we just have to put it on the scale,” said Christopher.&nbsp; “We spent a good amount of time this winter organizing things after we moved shops and we had good speed in the car at the end of last year so we didn’t really change anything.&nbsp; We refreshed the engine and we went through the driveline and rear end and things like that but other than that, we didn’t change anything.&nbsp; I normally go through the body and make a new body but I didn’t even do that.&nbsp; I have confidence we’ll be fine come the Spring Sizzler® and that’s a race that I have to personally check off on my list of big races to win in the SK Modified® division.”</p>
  583.  
  584.  
  585.  
  586. <p>The 52nd Annual NAPA Spring Sizzler® is set for Saturday and Sunday, April 27-28.&nbsp; Saturday, April 27th and will consist of two 40-lap NAPA Duel qualifying races for the Open Modified division. The 40-lap races will each pay $3,500 to win and will set the field for Sunday’s NAPA Spring Sizzler®.&nbsp; Stafford’s Late Model, Limited Late Model, and Street Stock divisions will complete Saturday’s racing program with qualifying and feature racing.</p>

  702.  
  703.  
  704. <p>Stafford Speedway’s 52nd Annual NAPA Spring Sizzler® has added ARCA Menards Series driver and Modified veteran Andy Jankowiak to the entry list.  Jankowiak will be piloting his family owned #73 with sponsorship from Automotive Consultants, Florida Safety Systems, and Yukon Creek Sportsman Club.  Jankowiak has had the Sizzler® in his sights for the last several seasons, but scheduling conflicts with the ARCA Menards Series had prevented him from making the trip to the Connecticut half-mile facility.</p>
  705.  
  706.  
  707.  
  708. <p>“The Spring Sizzler® is a race that I’ve always had circled on my calendar but it usually always fell on Talladega weekend so I haven’t been able to do it the last 2 years,” said Jankowiak.&nbsp; “This year we’ll be in Dover so it worked out and it’s a challenge that I’m looking forward to.”</p>
  709.  
  710.  
  711.  
  712. <p>Jankowiak will certainly be facing a challenge when he takes to the track on April 27-28 for NAPA Spring Sizzler® activities.&nbsp; Whereas the majority of the Sizzler® field has plenty of experience to lean on, Jankowiak has one career start at Stafford, finishing 17th in the 2020 Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series event while driving the #59 car for Steve Mendoza.&nbsp; What Jankowiak lacks in experience for Stafford, he more than makes up for with his enthusiasm for Stafford and the NAPA Spring Sizzler®.</p>
  713.  
  714.  
  715.  
  716. <p>“I’m racing against a lot of experience, which I don’t have, but we love the challenge,” said Jankowiak.&nbsp; “Every time you step into something new you learn and build to get where you want to go.&nbsp; We’ll be up against the likes of Ronnie Silk and Matt Hirschman but this is a race that I’ve always wanted to compete in and this is the year things finally worked out.&nbsp; It’s always been a goal of mine to win the Sizzler® and I know that’s a lofty goal, but you have to be in it to win it and this will be our first time.&nbsp; It might not be this year or next year, but we’ll take as many shots at it as we can.&nbsp; I have way too much respect for the competition to go there and ever say winning would be anything but impossible, but we’re certainly going to give it everything we’ve got.&nbsp; It’s going to be tough for sure and I don’t have any expectations otherwise, but that’s why we race.”</p>
  717.  
  718.  
  719.  
  720. <p>The NAPA Spring Sizzler® will serve as Jankowiak’s first start of the season with his family owned #73 car as well as being his first trip to Stafford since the end of the 2020 season.&nbsp; Jankowiak was on a hot streak at the end of the 2023 season and he’s looking to carry that momentum with him into his Stafford experience on April 27-28.</p>
  721.  
  722.  
  723.  
  724. <p>“We were performing really well at the end of last season so we’re hoping to carry that over into this year,” said Jankowiak.&nbsp; “We had a strong run in the Turkey Derby and we won a Southern race at South Boston, so we’re certainly encouraged and I think the biggest thing we’ll be battling is experience.&nbsp; I go to enough racetracks now where I’m used to not being used to them.&nbsp; I think the Sizzler® is one of the crown jewels in modified racing and it’s probably in the top-3 or top-4 modified races on anyone’s list.&nbsp; It’s certainly a race that I want to compete in and if I was fortunate enough to say I won it, it would mean a lot.&nbsp; We’re chasing a W, but I’m sure you probably have to go to Stafford a couple times to really get a handle on the track.&nbsp; So maybe winning is a long term goal but I don’t walk through the gates unless I think I’ve got a shot.&nbsp; If we can come out of there with a solid finish, the car in one piece, and a little money to help pay the tire bill, that would be a good day but you’re always going to the track to win.”</p>
  725.  
  726.  
  727.  
  728. <p>The 52nd Annual NAPA Spring Sizzler® is set for Saturday and Sunday, April 27-28.&nbsp; Saturday, April 27th and will consist of two 40-lap NAPA Duel qualifying races for the Open Modified division. The 40-lap races will each pay $3,500 to win and will set the field for Sunday’s NAPA Spring Sizzler®.&nbsp; Stafford’s Late Model, Limited Late Model, and Street Stock divisions will complete Saturday’s racing program with qualifying and feature racing.</p>
