Gaston Racing started around 1986 with the W.K.A. Tri-State Karting Club, racing 4 cycle and 2 cycle piston port go-karts. Owner and then driver, Bill Gaston raced those karts for several years before moving on to the Pro-Four Modifieds division at Thompson Motor Speedway in Thompson, CT. After successfully racing in that division for several years, car owner Bill Gaston became the Race Director for that division while moving up to the prestigious SK Modified Division or NASCAR Whelen All American Series Division IV at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, CT.

         Today, car owner Bill Gaston remains the Race Director for the Pro Four Modifieds division and his SK Modified car, number 6, continues to race at Stafford Motor Speedway, but with a young new driver behind the wheel. Driver Wade Mattesen accomplished Rookie of the Year Honors at the prestigious Stafford Motor Speedway, also finishing tied for 10th in driver points. Wade Mattesen, son of long time friend and competitor Lou Mattesen, has raced also in the Tri-State Karting club along with the Ford Focus series midgets and the newly added division at Stafford Motor Speedway, the SK Lights. You can learn more about his background in racing including the wonderful sponsorships he brings with him to our team at www.wademattesen.com

        2007 was a great year for Gaston Racing to say the least. Already, after seeing the changes made to the car and pit crew, new sponsors are coming on board. It seems that they just can't wait to get their name on the sharp and impressive new body of the #6 Sk Modified of Gaston Racing. There just isn't another one quite like it in our division. From the newly redesigned nose, to the side contour and mustang type roof this design is the best we have come up with yet!
