The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is set to make its long‑awaited return to New Hampshire Motor Speedway, bringing a 100‑lap battle that promises high‑speed drama on the concrete‑covered half‑mile in Loudon. Fans can expect a showcase of talent, with past champions and rising stars all eyeing the checkered flag.
A championship pedigree meets fresh ambition
Four‑time NWMT champion Justin Bonsignore is making his first appearance since May, having already secured a victory earlier this season at New Smyrna Speedway. His history at New Hampshire includes three career wins and a runner‑up finish, giving him a deep familiarity with the track's unique challenges.
Matt Hirschman, the most recent NWMT winner after his triumph at Thompson Speedway, brings a string of top‑five and top‑ten finishes at New Hampshire despite never having led a lap there. His consistency on the track makes him a quiet threat in the upcoming race.
Ryan Preece, a veteran of the NASCAR Cup Series, is returning to Modified competition at NHMS for the first time since 2021. He previously finished second to Kyle Busch in 2017, and his experience on short tracks adds another layer of intrigue to the field.
A deep field of contenders
The event will also feature drivers such as Tyler Rypkema, who captured last year's victory by colliding with Bonsignore on the final lap, as well as Ryan Newman, Luke Baldwin and others ready to challenge the established leaders. The mix of seasoned racers and hungry newcomers sets the stage for a tightly contested race.
With the track's reputation for delivering unexpected twists, the 100‑lap format offers ample opportunity for strategy to play out, making every caution and pit stop a potential turning point. As the green flag drops, the stage will be set for a memorable showdown that could reshape the championship picture.
