Another Great Whelen Modified Race at NH!

I won't spoil it for ya, but if you want to see some phenomenal racing check out the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event from this past weekend from New Hampshire Motor Speedway. It will re-air at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon on Fox Sports 1 AND again at 9:00 p.m. on Fox Sports 2.

Best finish i've seen in a LONG TIME. But the whole race was great.

I see where a lot of the Whelen guys will team up with the ROC and Valenti tour mods for a "Tri Track" event at Seekonk Speedway in Mass. this coming Wednesday (mid week racing?) The first show of this series was at Star Speedway in Epping, NH, and had a total purse of $46,600 of which $6750 went to the winner. Thirty three mods showed up and 24 started. Every car that started was guaranteed $1000. I think it was 100 or 125 laps.

Roughly, a similar payout is expected for the Seekonk show with the winner taking home $10,000 and last place paying a grand. I wish we could drum up this kind of racing down here.

The only hope is with the backstretch grandstands at Daytona slated to be razed, that a true NASCAR Whelen North/South points paying event be added to the World Series at New Smyrna. There's supposed to be a KOMA Mod Tour race at Bronson in the fall, but it remains to be seen if that happens. Even if it does, the car count probably will be small.

Loved that race in N.H....Great race and terrific finish...Wish that Wed night race would be on the boob tube...OSF

Well, OSF, if you haven't had your fill of Tour Mod racing, the Whelen All Star Shootout (also run last weekend in NH) will air tomorrow (Sunday) at 2 p.m. on Fox Sports 1. It features 2-20 lap segments of Tour Mod style restrictor plate racing replete with drafting, slingshot moves and crossover maneuvers. Should be more great racing!

What a SHOW. 36 lead changes at the line..... probably another 30 on the other portions of three track.
I'm not much of a Ted Christopher fan, but guy puts his car in places nobody else goes.

These guys RACE. If the Cup Series had that kind of action, they'd sell every ticket.
