The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is set to make a historic comeback at Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine, marking its first appearance at the 0.5‑mile oval in 35 years. The All States Materials Group 150 will take the green flag on June 6, 2026, at 6:15 p.m. Eastern Time, promising a night of high‑octane competition.
Points leader Stephen Kopcik heads a deep field that includes Austin Beers, who is riding a 35‑race top‑10 streak, and veteran Matt Hirschman, a former winner at the venue. Their presence adds extra intrigue to a race that was postponed earlier due to weather concerns.
Veteran Jon McKennedy, who captured a Supermodified victory at Oxford Plains in the past and added a Whelen Modified Tour win earlier this season, is expected to contend. Also on the roster are Patrick Emerling, who has finished in the top ten in four of the first five races this year, and Tommy Catalano, who broke into the top five at Riverhead last weekend.
Other competitors such as Mike Christopher Jr., Tyler Rypkema, Anthony Nocella, Ronnie Williams and Trevor Catalano are also expected to be in the mix.
A milestone weekend for modified racing
The event will be streamed live on FloRacing, with viewers given access to detailed schedules and qualifying rules. Teams are limited to a maximum of eleven tires for the weekend, a restriction that could influence strategy on the concrete surface.
Fans traveling from across the country will find the track nestled in the towns of Oxford, Maine, as well as nearby Riverhead, New York, and Seekonk, Massachusetts, each offering a glimpse of the regional racing culture that surrounds the event.
