Mike Stefanik Hall of Fame bio

Seven of his titles came in his primary racing series -- the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. In 2003, he was named one of the Tour’s 10 Greatest Drivers, an obvious choice if there ever was one -- Stefanik holds the all-time series record in championships, wins, poles, top fives and top 10s. RELATED: Mike Stefanik's career stats | Members of the Hall of Fame Stefanik won two championships consecutively in NASCAR K&N Pro Series East competition, in 1997-98. That, along with a win total that ties for ninth on the all-time series wins list, earned him a spot on the Top 10 Drivers of the First 25 Years of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East list in 2011. In addition, Stefanik spent one full-time season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series -- and it was a successful one. He captured the Rookie of the Year Award in 1999.
