2009 Pro
Stock Series Holds Fun in
Store for Defending Champ
Stefanski
by Tom
Skibinski
WEEDSPORT, N.Y. -- Already
reaching the pinnacle of his
profession with the most
series victories and feature
wins scored around the
entire DIRTcar Northeast
circuit, what’s next for
three-time reigning Mr.
DIRTcar Pro Stock points
king Pete Stefanski?
“I’m still in this whole
deal just to have fun,”
remarked Stefanski, 38,
matter-of-factly as he
looked back upon a
superlative career that has
vaulted him to the top of
DIRTcar NE’s premier
full-fender traveling tour.
The Wheatfield, New York
standout has racked up all
of his record-setting wins
during the new millennium,
celebrating 20 triumphs on
tour among his 82 wins
registered through June.
“I always get asked but
never had any plans to go
run the BRP Can-Am Series or
follow any of the Late Model
stuff. I don’t need to move
up anywhere, there’s really
nothing to prove. Racing
against these guys is what I
like doing best, they’re a
good caliber of driver and
they all know how to win.
They’re also a great group
to hang around with a lot of
comradery, and having fun is
still what this game is all
about,” Stefanski said.
Flanked by a solid core of
returning veterans and
talented mix of first-time
entries, Stefanski opens
defense of his crown July 4
on home soil at Genesee
Speedway. The ’09 Series
lid-lifter gets underway
Saturday at 6 p.m. with
grandstand admission
beginning at 4 o’clock and
pit gates swinging open at 3
p.m. A top prize of $1,000
is on the line for the
40-lap Jack Veach Memorial
winner and Stefanski likes
his chances of taking the
checkered flag first for a
second straight summer.
“It certainly helps starting
out at a place that you’re
familiar with, but
everything still defends on
track conditions,” noted
Stefanski, who won his only
series opener in 2006 ---the
same year Genesee hosted its
only other lead-off event---
en route to capturing his
initial Mr. DIRTcar
Championship. Stefanski
pulled off a dramatic last
lap pass to steal victory
away from Mike Martin in the
’08 edition staged last
August at the popular Route
5 raceway.
“I’m not a bumpy track
racer. That makes it too
tough to pass when you’re
moving around so much
instead of being able to run
clean side-by-side.
Everybody else on tour
probably feels the same,
we’ve got some top-notch
racers with the ability to
put on a great show given
the chance,” stated
Stefanski, a two-time track
champion at Genesee, where
he has cracked the winner’s
circle 19 times since 2004.
Stefanski will be looking to
put his familiar Sunrise
Racing no. 2 San Ter Sewing-PJ
NFB Auto Sales Chevrolet
Monte Carlo entry in victory
lane for a second time this
season at the Batavia, New
York oval when he signs in
for the Independence Day
special. He remains the
odds-on favorite to repeat
at the third-miler, winning
exactly 50% (12 of 24) of
the Series shows run from
2006-08.
The overall championship
will be hotly contested as
valuable points are also on
the minds of Stefanski’s
most formidable foes, with
Don Carlson, Joey Ladouceur,
P.J. Peters, Dion Oakes,
Jocelyn Roy, Louie Jackson
and Roch Aubin focused
clearly on the top prize.
Also expected to return for
a shot at the elusive title
are Dave ‘Bulldog’
Bissonnette, Stephane Lebrun
and ’08 Motorsports Safety
Systems/G-FORCE Rookie of
the Year Bruno Cyr, while
William Chubb and Richard
Bertrand headline the crop
of ’09 rookie contenders.
“The series gets a little
tougher every year and I’ve
talked to a lot of racers so
there should be a full field
to start things off at
Genesee,” said Stefanski, on
the verge of helping kick
off the 15th Mr. DIRTcar
Championship trail in
Western New York. “We used
to have a few more guys
travel, its just that a lot
of them aren’t leaving their
home tracks as much
anymore.”
“I think there’s a lot more
drivers that can move up,
the Street Stocks are so
close (rules) right now they
should be racing with us.
Open motors are going for
around $9,000 nowadays and
I’ve been winning with a
crate block that cost
$2,900. I remember starting
out when guys like Tom Kuck
and Tom Barron were at the
top of their game and just
to run with them was a
thrill. Things aren’t going
to turn around here
overnight with the economy
still recovering but keeping
the class moving forward
should be something all the
racers can continue to work
towards,” Stefanski added.
