Ted Christopher will be looking for his fifth
consecutive New Hampshire International Speedway NASCAR
Whelan Modified Tour victory at the New England 100 on
Saturday, July 15. Christopher’s present winning
streak at NHIS started in July of 2004. If he finds his
way to Victory Lane this July, Ted will tie the NHIS
Modified Tour record set by Reggie Ruggiero from July of
1992 to September of 1994.
Christopher also became the second
driver to sweep both the NASCAR Grand National Division,
Busch East Series and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races
in the same weekend last September. Mike "Magic
Shoes" McLaughlin managed this feat first during
the Speedway’s 1990 inaugural season.
The New England 125 for the NASCAR
Grand National Division, Busch East Series and the New
England 100 for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will
also start the chase for the Lincoln
Electric/Merriam-Graves 2006 NHIS Track Championships.
Christopher won the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
Championship in 2005. Ted has his sights on both titles
in 2006.
"I've been fortunate to win
the Whelen Modified Tour portion of the Lincoln
Electric/Merriam-Graves Track Championship, and I think
it would be a kick to win the Busch East title
too," Christopher said.
Advance tickets for all NASCAR
events, including a limited number of seats for the New
England 300 on Sunday, July 16 and the SYLVANIA 300 on
Sunday, September 17, are available online at
