Newsmaker of the Week // Stephen Kopcik

They say you never forget your first time. NASCAR Modified Tour campaigner Stephen Kopcik certainly won’t forget his first series win anytime soon as it came on one of the biggest stages in Modified racing at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday night. Earning the highly-coveted Grandfather clock that is given as a trophy to all Martinsville Speedway winners, Kopcik already knew where his clock was going as soon as he and his team returning to their shop in Connecticut. Anytime you win your first race you make news, thus Stephen Kopcik is this week’s newsmaker of the week.
