Barre, VT & Naples, ME โ As the dust settles on another season at Thompson Speedway, officials with the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and the American Canadian Tour (ACT) have announced a new Loyalty Program for the Thompson Sunoco Modifieds. The Thompson Clash at Octoberโs World Series squared off the โold Sunoco Modsโ from 2023 and earlier against the current Thompson Sunoco Modifieds that utilize the 604-bottle cap crate engine in a 50-lap contest. The Clash was won by Kieth Rocco with Todd Owen and Danny Cates following him across the line in the popular addition to the World Series lineup.
