When it comes to short track racing weekends in the Northeast it’s the undisputed “Big One”.
The Sunoco World Series of Speedway Racing at Thompson.Three days of action on track capped off with the crowning of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion.
This past weekend Thompson Speedway management was blessed with three days of phenomenal weather and they made the most of it.
From the first green flag on Friday to the final checkered Sunday evening Thompson Speedway’s staff kept the show moving right along like the most perfectly in-tune machine. Thompson Speedway general manager Josh Vanada and his staff deserve mounds of praise for three days of seamless action.
RaceDayCT was there all three days for every feature, qualifying heat, time trial lap and practice session.
Take a look back below on the RaceDayCT coverage from the packed weekend at Thompson.
By all accounts, the World Series was very well run. With a big crowd at Thompson yesterday, I have to think that the event was quite profitable for TSMP. I hope there’s now enough money in the coffers to replace the aging grandstands.
No TC at the world series this year. When’s the last time that happened?
In the 40s
Rafter,How about some pit stands in turn 2?
Actually the stands at Thompson are brand new compared to the ones between turns 1 & 2 at Stafford. The wood on those ones are VERY very bad and I pray every time I am there that I don’t witness someone fall through them to the ground.
Art – new stands all around would be OK with me. I’m glad that I don’t write the insurance for any of our local tracks …
