Ted Christopher stands alone as the only driver to win the first two races of a Whelen Modified Tour season. Following his 2008 crown, Christopher captured the Icebreaker 150 checkered flag at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park to open the title defense in 2009 and followed that with a win in the Spring Sizzler 200.
Anything sound familiar here?
Coby, the reigning champion, launched his title defense on April 12 with a victory in the Thompson Icebreaker 150. He’ll now endeavor to duplicate Christopher’s effort.
It will be the second item on a full list of challenges ahead for Coby as part of a tour characterized by a decade of even competition at the top. The biggest of those trials is to become the first back-to-back champion since 2004-05, but a crown repeat will come one step at a time.
Coby, of Milford, Connecticut, certainly has a proven record of success in this event. His first career Whelen Modified Tour victory came in the 2006 Spring Sizzler, and a second triumph in the famed 200-lap event followed in 2012.
