.. Ted Christopher To Run Wayne Anderson's Eastport Feeds NASCAR Modified At Riverhead Raceway In 2012 by Bob FInan The off season silence of the racing world on Long Island was shattered in early January when it was announced that Ted Christopher of Plainville, Ct. would drive Wayne Anderson's Eastport Feeds NASCAR Modified on a weekly basis at Riverhead Raceway starting with the Twin 30 feature events on opening night May 5th. Anderson confirmed the pairing Tuesday after returning from vacation. The weekly NASCAR Modified field at Riverhead Raceway is known to be among the toughest and most star studded in the Whelen All-American Series and with the announcement of the Christopher/Anderson pairing it gets even stronger. "Teddy and my crew chief Kenny Lechner had been talking on and off" Wayne reflected when confirming his new team for 2012, "recently Teddy started calling Kenny more often and so we put a deal together". Before going public with the news Anderson first consulted with his longtime and loyal sponsor Doug Corwin of Eastport Feeds who was quick to approve of the new tandem. One thing is for certain with both Christopher and Anderson, they both know how to win track titles as they have 20 between them. Wayne is a former five-time Riverhead Raceway titlist who also garnered two championships each in the NASCAR Modified ranks at Islip Speedway and the New Egypt Speedway. Teddy, who has been dubbed "TC" during his successful career has won the Stafford Motor Speedway championship 7-times and has 3 Thompson Speedway and one Waterford Speedbowl titles to his credit. If the 20 track titles between the duo weren't enough, both Wayne and Teddy have also won the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour title as well. "The way the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule sits and if Teddy had a solid full-time ride in that series he'd have to miss two Riverhead shows" Wayne noted as the WMT has Saturday night stops at both the Monadnock Speedway and Waterford Speedbowl early in the season. Christopher in a recent Lenny Sammons article in the Area Auto Racing News stated he'll fly to Long Island on a friend's plane for remainder of the season. Just because Teddy Christopher is wheeling the Performance Technology powered Chevy for Anderson doesn't mean Wayne will be sitting still all season long cheering on his driver. Anderson has a back-up car that was started once during in 2011 by Mike Ewanitsko that Wayne will race on a part-time basis for the upcoming campaign. Ted Christopher aside from having a reputation that proceeds him is not just known for his victories and championships in both SK and NASCAR Modified racing, but he perhaps is also one of the most versatile drivers in the sport. Over the last several years Teddy has won an indoor TQ Midget event in Atlantic City, a DIRT Modified race on a road course in Millville, NJ and a Super Modified Race for noted car owner Clyde Boothe. His driving style, which mirrors Anderson's in his heyday will certainly spice things up on the tight confines of Riverhead Raceway in 2012. Joining the NASCAR Modifieds on opening night May 5th at Riverhead Raceway are the Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers, Blunderbusts, Super Pro Trucks and Legend Race Cars.
