The 2006 Tech-Net Spring Sizzler presented by CARQUEST was a Whelen Modified Tour event held at Stafford Motor Speedway on April 30, 2006. Doug Coby won his only career race, holding off Donny Lia. Eventual season champ Mike Stefanik was 4th.
[edit] Qualifying
Donny Lia won the pole for the race but, following the post-qualifying redraw, found himself shuffled back to 4th on the grid. Chuck Hossfeild would thus start first with eventual winner Doug Coby having to recover from a 29th place starting spot.
