A LOOK BACK AT THE 1978
STAFFORD MOTOR SPEEDWAY SEASON

By: Paul Arute

Only one word can really sum up the 1978 modified season, dominance. Geoff Bodine shattered the record books and waltzed his way to the 1978 track championship behind the backing of car owner Dick Armstrong. Geoff was unstoppable in the early months winning a record setting 7 consecutive times. Extra distance specialist and 1978 Spring Sizzler champion Maynard Troyer ended his streak when he took the checkers June 30 in the Ferrara 100.

Geoff continued on to win 6 more times in 1978, ending with a total of 13 victories. It was a long year for other drivers such as Leo Clearly, Bugs Stevens, and Ron Bouchard who just could not put a stop to Bodine's supremacy. Bodine won the championship for the second consecutive year over Ron Bouchard, Richie Evans, and Jerry Cook.

It was not only a year to remember for Mr. Bodine, it was also an incredible season for Sportsman driver Tom Rosati. Though he could not match Bodine's 7 straight wins, Tom was able to start the year with an impressive mark of 4 consecutive victories. He went on to win 10 times in 1978 and secured his second consecutive track championship over Jeb Balise and Jim McCallum.

In the Street Stock Division, Dave Fisck was crowned champion for the second consecutive year as well.
