Tom Fox will return to his home track, New London-Waterford Speedbowl, in 2017 as the track’s race director.

Fox, 53, returns to a role he previously held at the Waterford, Connecticut-based Speedbowl from 2009 to 2011. Fox, of Plainfied, will also continue in his role as director of racing operations at Stafford Motor Speedway, a position he has held since 2012.

Fox began racing at the Speedbowl in 1979 in a Street Stock and had success in multiple divisions over the years. He has 60 career feature victories at the Speedbdowl, with 44 of those coming in a Late Model and 14 in SK Modified.

He also has a pair of Late Model championships at the track, and competed in the SK Modified division through the 2007 season.

After hanging up his helmet as a driver, he took on a role with the track’s tech crew in 2008 before taking on the race director position for the first time in 2009.

In related news, it was also announced by track officials that former Speedbowl race director Bill Roberts will take on the role of overseeing the Wednesday night program at the track in 2017.
