Richie Gets Another Top 10 as Christopher Nets #100 at Stafford on Friday the 13th
Stafford Springs, CT - The 35th Annual Coors Light SK Modified® 100 played out perfectly for Ted Christopher in the game of numbers. On Friday, June 13th, Christopher drove car number 13 to his 100th career feature victory at Stafford by winning the Coors Light SK Modified® 100.

The 35th Annual Coors Light SK Modified® 100 took the green with Doug Coby leading the first three laps before giving way to Todd Owen on lap-4. While Owen was pacing the field, Ted Christopher was quickly working his way through the field from his 7th place starting position. He took second place from Curt Brainard on lap-19 and closed in on Owen's bumper by lap-30. Christopher hounded Owen's back bumper, but couldn't make a pass stick.

The first caution of the race came out with 38-laps complete, which gave Christopher all the opportunity he needed as he took to the outside groove on the restart and passed Owen for the lead.

The race took on another long green flag run with Christohper, Chris Jones, and Woody Pitkat making up the top-3 cars. The race ran green to lap-89 with the top-3 cars remaining the same. Pitkat got by Jones on the restart and he applied immediate pressure to Christopher in a battle for the race lead. Much like Christopher did earlier in the race to Owen, Pitkat was all over the back bumper of Christopher. Pitkat tried several times to make a run for the lead in the corners, but couldn't make a pass stick and Christopher had just enough car to keep in front of Pitkat for a one car length victory, the 100th career feature win for Christopher at Stafford Motor Speedway. Pitkat finished second, with Tom Bolles, Keith Rocco, and Frank Ruocco rounding out the top-5.

In victory lane, it was announced that to commemorate Christopher's 100 career victories at Stafford, Section A of the main grandstand would be named after Christopher, placing him with other modified greats that adorn each section of Stafford's main grandstand. Christopher was also presented a commemorative plaque, recognizing his 100 career wins.
