The 2007 race season was Kyle Casagrande’s first experience in the
full-fender DARE Stock Division at CT’s Stafford Motor Speedway.
Casagrande (a familiar name at NE short tracks) raced the #7 Dare to
seven starts.
It was a memorable season for the sixteen year old, racing with the big
boys in stock cars. His strategy was simple, “Don’t crash and work my
way to the front" says Casagrande.
He attributes his interest in racing to his Uncle, Dean Casagrande “The
best driver I know.” Dean also races DARE Stock..

Jason Moore
#44 SK Light Modified
“Impressive” is the only way to describe Jason Moore’s 2007 season in
the SK Light Division at Stafford Motor Speedway in 2007. An
accomplished welder & chassis fabricator, Moore and his Dad, Richie,
built the #44 SK Light Modified at JMR Fabricating in West Springfield
MA.
At the tender age of 27, Moore is a seasoned racer spending ten years in
Karts and WKA for one season, with numerous wins and championships in
his repertoire.
His pre-race SK race strategy in 2007 was “Save the car and be there in
the end,” says Moore. He did well with thirteen starts for the season
and six top ten finishes,ending the season 18th in points.
Per Moore “I enjoy every race we do whether I’m driving or working with
someone else.” He is also Crew Chief for a Late Model team and Spotter
on a True Value team. Moore’s goal is to continue climbing the ladder
and one-day race for a living.
