Perfect Still: Two Starts, Two Wins For Stafford Limited Late Model Rookie Josh Wood

STAFFORD – The learning curve in the Limited Late Model division for Josh Wood at Stafford Motor Speedway has actually had little curve at all. It’s been a straight line directly to victory lane.

On April 28 Wood won in his debut in the Limited Late Model division at Stafford. Friday the 17-year old from Palmer, Mass. kept stayed perfect in the division by driving away in the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature.

Duane Provost of Springfield was second and Cory Casagrande of Stafford third.

Coming into the year, Wood was just thinking about getting acclimated to the new division after racing in Stafford’s DARE Stocks the last two years. Wood had seven victories in the DARE Stock over two seasons.

“I was just thinking about going out there and doing my best and having fun,” Wood said. “It feels awesome. I wasn’t expecting it. I was thinking maybe top-five’s or top-six. Not two wins in a row.”

Wood started seventh and took the lead on lap six after race leader Dennis Botticello was black flagged for leaking fluids.
