THOMPSON, Conn. – Justin Bonsignore hadn’t won at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park since 2019, but Wednesday night, he reminded everyone on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour why he leads all active drivers with wins at the oval.
Bonsignore’s Kenneth Massa Motorsports team sent him off pit road first after a pit stop around halfway, then Bonsignore held off the charges of Doug Coby, then Ron Silk through multiple restarts to score his 13th career Thompson win. The victory tied Bonsignore for second all-time in Thompson wins with Ted Christopher, only trailing Mike Stefanik, with 15. The victory was also Bonsignore’s third of the 2023 season (Riverhead, Loudon) and his 10th top-five finish in 11 races this season. “After we won seven out of eight here, then the runs we started having were a bit frustrating for us,” Bonsignore said of Thompson. “The car was really good. We missed it a little bit, too tight on the first set of tires, but on the second set, it fired off so well. This is a really big confidence booster. This is my favorite track – and to bounce back like this and to lead half the race… it was a total team effort to win this one.” Bonsignore and the Kenneth Massa Motorsports team will be heading to Langley Speedway in Virginia for the next NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race on Saturday, August 26.
