Modified Fans Rejoice – Three Days of Open Wheeled Masters at Sunoco World Series
/Barre, VT & Naples, ME — While the 63rd Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing has a little bit of something for everyone, it’s truly a Modified fan’s dream! Three straight days of open wheeled masters taking on New England’s biggest and fastest short track for glory during the annual fall festival of racing!
It all begins this Friday, October 10 with the final Dash for Cash of the season in the Sunoco Race Fuels 50, a $5,000 to win showdown to set the stage for the remainder of the weekend! While the likes of Jon McKennedy, Kyle Bonsignore, Jeffrey Battle, Chris Pasteryak and Tommy Catalano battle for the $5,000 prize, Friday will also feature the start of a three-day weekend for the Thompson Sunoco Modifieds as well as the flair of yesteryear with a visit from the STAR Vintage Modifieds!
Saturday is headlined by the 75th annual Race of Champions 150 with drivers from across New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania set to make the trek for one of the longest running racing events in the world! While Matt Hirschman will be there to defend his 9th win in the iconic event, he’ll have to face a gauntlet of fellow Modified Masters including Thompson Speedway hot-shoes Justin Bonsignore and Ron Silk among the rest of the field!
Saturday will also feature the championship crowning of the New England Supermodified Series (NESS) with Jeffrey Battle and Dan Bowes locked in the championship chase. The Thompson Sunoco Modifieds will crown their 2025 track champion on Saturday before Sunday’s $3,000-to-win CLASH while the New England Pro-4 Modifieds will run the annual Harry Kourafas Memorial 22.
Sunday is headlined by the third and final visit for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour in the State of Connecticut for 2025! The Sunoco World Series 150 will crown the FloRacing Connecticut Challenge before they crown the 2025 Tour champion at Martinsville Speedway on October 23rd. Sunday will also feature the track championship event for the SK Light Modifieds, alongside the SK Lite Non-Winners Race, the NEMA Lites and the CLASH between the Thompson Sunoco Modifieds!
Thompson Speedway is back for the 63rd Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing! The three-day festival of stock car racing begins in earnest on Friday, October 10 followed by the 75th annual Race of Champions 150 headlining the Saturday, October 11 showcase and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour World Series 150 on Sunday, October 12.
