     This will be the fourth event for the True Value Modified Racing Series at Thompson which has been a part of the schedule since 2006.  “It’s a special race for me being just down the road from my house,” said Pasteryak “And although the results haven’t been what we wanted in the past - we always seem to run well at Thompson, we just to need to run well and finish well.”

    Pasteryak recently recorded a big victory at Seekonk Mass., in an open competition race. He collected the $10,000 winner’s share. “That was a big win for me,” said Pasteryak. “Hopefully I can add another at Thompson.”
