Speedway.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Gosek, 51, brings with him a reputation as a clever competitor who is always among the top challengers wherever he races, particularly on short ovals like Lee’s 3\/S<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> – <\/span>mile track. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This “Classic” marks the first time since 1967 that the race has been run in Lee, N.H. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Other top drivers in the field include four-time “Classic” champion Chris Perley, five-time winner Russ Wood, current NASCAR national modified point leader Bobby Santos III, Canadian stars Mike Lichty and Mark Sammut. <\/span><\/p>\n The pit area will be open at <\/span>noon<\/span> while practice starts at 4 p.m. on Classic Saturday.
