Multiple sources close to the management of the Tri-Track Open Modified Series have confirmed to RaceDayCT that the series will reschedule its season opening event from Saturday July 4 to Sunday July 5 at Monadnock Speedway.
The Tri-Track Open Modified Series announced plans for the July 4 season opener at Monadnock in Winchester, N.H. on Tuesday morning.

Sources said that in an effort to accommodate drivers or teams looking to compete in both events, Tri-Track Open Modified Series management, in cooperation with management at Monadnock Speedway, made the decision to reschedule to Sunday July 5.
Management from the Tri-Track Open Modified Series was not immediately available for comment Wednesday afternoon. Series officials are expected to officially announce the decision to reschedule the event at some point today.
