Single Focus: Championship Chasing Bobby Santos III Takes Pole For Whelen Modified Tour Finale At Thompson

THOMPSON - A congratulatory pat on the back from his car owner Bob Garbarino elicited a smile across the face of driver Bobby Santos III after qualifying Saturday at Thompson International Speedway for Sunday's Whelen Modified Tour season ending World Series of Speedway Racing 150.

"I don't think anything can get to the kid," said Garbarino, of Mystic. "You talk to him and try to give him motivation and get him pumped up and you just don't see it. He's just solid, nothing fazes him."

For Santos, the hope is that the real celebrating will come at some point Sunday evening.
