THOMPSON – The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour was expected to make their first appearance of 2020 in April at Thompson Speedway. Then a global pandemic put the brakes on that plan.

Better late than never, the series finally made its first appearance at the historic .625-mile oval on Thursday with the running of the Thompson 150.

On the ground Thursday at Thompson chasing all the action was RaceDayCT photographer Fran Lawlor.
