STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn. – When the limited late model field takes to the track at Stafford Speedway on April 24, 23-year-old Matt Scappini will kick off his first season of weekly competition at the Connecticut half-mile. 10 JRC Transportation Chevrolet that Scappini hopes will help carry him to Rookie of the Year honors. For the first couple of races, I’d like to get a feel for the car, see what it can do, and see where I’m at. Scappini has been busy in the off-season preparing for his rookie campaign by watching YouTube videos as well as making as many virtual laps around Stafford as he can in the world of iRacing. Scappini has also been soliciting advice from both Durand as well as Joe Hamm. “I’ve been to Stafford to watch the races and I’ve been studying for months now. “At this point I haven’t really thought about points,” said Scappini. That being said, it hasn’t stopped Scappini from dreaming about putting his No. 10 JRC Transportation Chevrolet in NAPA Victory Lane during his rookie season. “Winning a race is a thought that’s been in my head,” said Scappini.
