This week at Stafford Motor Speedway (CT), Lia finished 10th in the rain-delayed Haynes 150, but Lia and his team worked at least twice as hard for that result. Lia got caught in an early crash during the wreck-plagued event and played catch-up from there. He struggled with handling problems after winning the pole position for the race, but came back from a lap down to finish 10th.
“You’ve got to take the positives from the day,” said Lia after the race. “We’ve got a
car that rolls into the trailer and a top 10 finish. Could it have been better? Sure, it could have been. But it could have been a lot worse. We got lucky today and got a ten 10. I guess sometimes you have to be lucky.”
Lia maintains third place in the Modified Tour point standings as a result of his finish.
In SK Modified action, Lia finished ninth while driving the #47 Wisk/Snuggle car.
Lia’s next NASCAR Modified Tour event will be Saturday, July 9th at Jennerstown Speedway (PA).
