The Featherlite race at Stafford Motor Speedway was rained out and postponed until the

qualifying position to finish the race in 8th.
5/24/2003 -
The scheduled 30-lap event at Lancaster Motorsports Park was rained out was completed on
6/2/2003. Chuck was a contender all night and managed to take the checkers in 2nd
place.
5/31/2003 -
This 30-lap event at Lancaster was also rained out and combined with the Budweiser 75
event (also rain delayed) on 6/23/2003. Chuck again showed how strong the #22
DeLange Racing modified by bringing home a 3rd place finish.
6/7/2003 - The
NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series, Miller Lite 200 at Riverhead Raceway was cancelled due
to rain and has not yet been rescheduled.
6/14/2003 -
Finally a race beats the rain as the NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series rolled into Lake
Erie Speedway for the Lake Erie 150. Chuck started the race in 7th and nudged his
way up the 4th for the finish. Lake Erie is a new facility that was added to the
series calendar for 2003. With only being open less than a year, the track heavily
favored the inside groove and made passing very difficult. Lake Erie is an
extraordinary facility though, and once the track gets worked in a little bit more, it
should provide some excellent racing in the future.
6/21/2003 -
Rain, rain, go away... please!!! Yet another NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series
event, the Coca-Cola 150 at Seekonk Speedway was rained out and has been postponed until
October 12th, 2003.
6/29/2003 -
The Busch 150, NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series event at Wall Township Speedway was held
at the 1/3 mile track in Wall Township, NJ. Chuck had qualified 4th and redrew to
start on the pole, however he was tangled up in an early incident on lap 32 and was unable
to rejoin the race, resulting in a 29th place finish.
7/3/2003 - The
Firecracker 50 - Sunoco Race Of Champions event was held at Lancaster Motorsports Park.
Chuck drew the second starting spot and tried several times to pass the #75 Jeff
Ulrich on the outside, but numerous cautions kept reverting the field back to the
previously completed lap. Ulrich went on to win with Chuck finishing 2nd and holding
off a late charge by #77 Sege Fidanza.
7/5/2003 - The
day started out great with Chuck in the #22 DeLange Racing modified running some fast laps
in practice. However just before the start of the heats, the skies once again opened
up and poured on Lancaster causing the race to be postponed until Monday July 28th, 2003.
