HOLTSVILLE, N.Y. – As the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season concludes this Thursday evening at Martinsville Speedway, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will be in the spotlight. The championship battle is down to the final event of the 18 on the 2023 schedule and Justin Bonsignore has a shot to win the title. He enters the race 13 points behind Ron Silk, looking for his fourth title. Although Bonsignore has goals of sealing the title Thursday, his other goal is winning a Grandfather Clock at Martinsville. The clock is a historic trophy in all of racing and Bonsignore would love to leave there Thursday with one to bring home to his living room. In the last three years of running the ‘Paperclip’ track in Virginia, Bonsignore has finished on the podium twice and led 52 laps. He was running inside the top-five in the final laps last year before a mechanical issue. The entire Kenneth Massa Motorsports team is excited for the opportunity in front of them. “We just have to go to Martinsville and try to win the race,” Bonsignore said. “Leaving there with a Grandfather Clock would be special for all of us. As soon as they added Martinsville back to the Whelen Modified Tour schedule, it was one we circled on the calendar. We’re going to give it our best shot to win the race and see how the rest plays out after 200 laps.” The schedule for the season-finale at Martinsville includes one practice from 3-4 p.m., followed by Mayhew qualifying at 5:30 p.m. and the Virginia Is For Racing Lovers 200 at 8 p.m. For those who can’t make it to the track, the race will be live on FloRacing.TV.

 Leads NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Championship Standings With Two Races Remaining
Race Advance by Souza Media HOLTSVILLE, N.Y. – With just two races remaining in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship battle, three-time series champion Justin Bonsignore leads the series back to Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park this weekend. The Tour will be part of the 61st annual Sunoco World Series at Thompson - a staple event in the Northeast - with more than 15 divisions on the card for three days of racing. The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour 150 is set for Sunday afternoon, with practice and qualifying scheduled for Saturday. In August, during the only other Thompson event of this season, Bonsignore took the lead late and rocketed to Victory Lane. The victory pushed Bonsignore into a tie with Ted Christopher for second all-time for Tour wins at Thompson, with 13. Bonsignore has finished inside the top-five in 12 of his last 13 Thompson starts and is looking forward to a reunion with the high-banks. He leads the championship standings by two points over Ron Silk heading for the final two events. The season will conclude at Martinsville Speedway on Thursday, October 26. “We were happy to see things turn back our way and get back to Victory Lane at Thompson in August,” Bonsignore said. “It’s definitely been a good track for us. We’re excited to get there and be part of the World Series. It’s a great weekend filled with a lot of different divisions and fans. The championship battle is coming right down to the final laps of the season and every position is going to matter in the next two races. We’re just taking it one race at a time and look forward to competing for the win at the World Series.” The World Series schedule includes practice on Saturday from 1-2:15 p.m., followed by qualifying at 4 p.m. The race is scheduled for Sunday at 4 p.m. and will be aired live on FloRacing.TV.
