Winning the Jennerstown Salutes race last year was an honor. We remember all of those who have served, and those who continue to serve our country, to allow us to do what we do."

HOLTSVILLE, N.Y. – Justin Bonsignore and the Ken Massa Motorsports team are heading to Lee USA Speedway this Saturday, May 21, for round four of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season. The Granite State Derby 175 presented by USA Insulation will mark the first time the Whelen Modified Tour has been to the New Hampshire track in over two decades, and Bonsignore is heading there looking for redemption and to get back on track. Even though the Holtsville, New York, driver won the Richmond Raceway race on April 1, in the other two events during the 2022 season, Bonsignore failed to finish – both with mechanical failures. However – with plenty of races left to go on the 16-race schedule, all eyes are on Lee, where Bonsignore does have some previous laps in a Modified. Saturday’s race will include tire conservation at one of the most abrasive tracks the Northeast offers, and pit strategy will matter in determining who ends up in Victory Lane. Bonsignore is excited to get back to Lee and see how it all shakes out. “We’re looking forward to getting to Lee USA Speedway and coming out of there with a strong run,” Bonsignore said. “All we can do is keep our heads down and do what we know we can do, and let the rest play out. Lee is a difficult track with tire conservation and it should be interesting to see how all of the strategy plays out at the end of the race.” Saturday’s race day schedule at Lee USA Speedway will include one Whelen Modified Tour practice from 1:40-2:40 p.m., followed by Mayhew Tools qualifying at 5:30 p.m. The green flag for the Granite State Derby presented by USA Insulation is set for 7 p.m., live on FloRacing.TV. Fans can purchase tickets in advance at JDVProductions.com and also at the track on race day. The event includes the Granite State Pro Stock Series, NHSTRA Mini Stocks, Pro 4 Modifieds, NEMA Lites and the Whelen Modified Tour.

HOLTSVILLE, N.Y. – After just over one month off, three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Justin Bonsignore is heading home this weekend. The Holtsville, New York, competitor will race in the Whelen Modified Tour Miller Lite 200 at his home track – Riverhead Raceway – coming off a victory last time on the track at Richmond Raceway. After cutting his teeth at Riverhead in NASCAR weekly series competition, Bonsignore competed in his first Tour race at the quarter-mile in 2007. Since then, he’s been to Victory Lane in 8 of 21 races, and been inside the top-five in 18 of those starts. Last year, Bonsignore finished third twice – and second once – in the three races at the track. Prior to last year, Bonsignore had been to Victory Lane in four consecutive Whelen Modified Tour races at Riverhead. Entering the race, Bonsignore has the victory at Richmond, and a 31st place finish at New Smyrna Speedway in February, where the No. 51 Phoenix Communications machine suffered a mechanical failure. Bonsignore is ninth in the championship standings, 20 points from the top, with two of 16 events completed. “We’re looking forward to carrying some momentum from our win at Richmond into Riverhead this weekend and getting back to work,” Bonsignore said. “Even though we had some time off, the next month is going to be busy for the Whelen Modified Tour and our Ken Massa Motorsports team. Hopefully we can get the busy stretch started off on the right foot this weekend at Riverhead.” Riverhead is the first of three consecutive weeks of NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour racing – which will also include stops at Lee USA Speedway on May 21 and Jennerstown Speedway on May 28. The Whelen Modified Tour will also return to Riverhead two more times during the 2022 season. Saturday’s race day schedule at Riverhead includes one NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour practice session from 3-4 p.m., followed by Mayhew Tools pole qualifying at 6 p.m. The green flag for the Miller Lite 200 is scheduled for 8 p.m., and will air live on FloRacing.TV.
