Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
Fred DeSarro started his Stock car racing career at the then New London Waterford Speedbowl, then moved over to the Norwood Arena.
In 1970 Fred won the National Modified championship driving the Sonny Kozella "Woodchoper" Special #15.
The following year saw the infamous "ride swap" between DeSarro and Bugs Stevens with Freddie going to the Len Boehler Ol Blue #3. Fred won the inaugural Spring Sizzler event at Stafford in 1972 and also went on to win the Modifed track championship that year as well. He was also the 1976 Modified track champion at Stafford.
In 1974 DeSarro won the first of four (1974-1977) consecutive Thompson Modified division track championships, winning 14 feature events alone during the 1974 season. Fred also won the Race of Champions at the Trenton Speedway in 1974 as well.
Fred DeSarro was critically injured during a practice session at the Thompson Speedway in 1978, tragically, he passed away several weeks later.
