Sunday the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series makes its first visit to the historic Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt.
Tour Type Modified racers will be making plenty of visits to Northern New England short tracks in 2022. In addition to running at Thunder Road, the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series ran earlier this month at Monadnock Speedway in Winchester, N.H. and will race later this year at Star Speedway in Epping, N.H.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour made its first visit since 1998 to Lee USA Speedway in Lee, N.H. last week. The series will also have stops this season at Monadnock and Claremont (N.H.) Speedway. And the Modified Racing Series will visit White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Me. and Wiscasset Speedway in Wiscasset, Me.
So which Northern New England short track are you most excited to see Tour Type Modified racing at in 2022? Vote below.
what about Beech Ridge?
Steve,
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway closed following the 2021 racing season.
I read they were going to lease it back for a few seasons before they were going to break ground but now I’m heart broken to lose another great racing facility
Steve,
There was talk of that being a possibility last fall and it never came to fruition.
It’s true. They held an auction about a month ago of track equipment and other stuff, so I think it’s pretty safe to say the track is gone.
Tough to vote on this one, the more the merrier in my view. The only downside is a few may be a little too far for me to go. Been to 5 of 8 tracks, hoping to get to more!
I have been to every track on the list. I will say my favorites are Star,Thunder Road.and White MTN. I love the bull rings. I picked Star as the SBM race is one of my personal favorite racing events. I would argue it is one of the more prestigious modified events these days. Star isnt too far away from mod country so they should get a good field of cars.
Wiscasset is a nice track in a beautiful little town. They are also really reasonable on prices, like under $10 GA for most shows. That one is worth a trip if you haven’t been yet. I am not sure how MRS will be for cars this season. I think you have a MRS race at White Mtn before Wiscassett to see what kind of car count you can expect,
