Justin Bonsignore Looks To Add Another Monadnock Win To His Resume

Justin Bonsignore and the Kenneth Massa Motorsports team will return to competition this Saturday, May 4 at Monadnock Speedway. The Granite State Derby 150 marks the fourth race of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule for the 2024 season.

Bonsignore has five career Monadnock wins to his credit, all since 2013. He has won three of the last four Whelen Modified Tour races at the track, and has also finished inside the top-10 in all 11 of his career starts at the Winchester, New Hampshire oval. He’s been top-five in all but one of them.

To say the least, it’s a track Bonsignore is familiar with. But, Saturday brings a new journey for competitors, as the first event with brand new pavement on the track, which was put down during the offseason.

The Granite State Derby 150 also marks the first of three in the 2024 running of the Whelen Modified Tour Granite State Short Track Cup - a bonus program with the trio of events at Monadnock with added bonus cash incentives.

“We’re excited to get onto the new pavement at Monadnock,” Bonsignore said. “The track had a lot of character before they paved it, and the new pavement is definitely going to change some things with the way you drive the car and the way the cars are setup. We will see what challenges it throws our way and go out there and make the most of our day.”

Saturday’s Monadnock Speedway schedule includes NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour practice from 1:15-2:15 p.m., followed by qualifying at 4:15 p.m. and the drop of the green flag for the Granite State Derby 150 at 6 p.m.
