Woody Pitkat Unsure Of Status For Monaco Modified Tri-Track Event At Speedbowl

In January Woody Pitkat told RaceDayCT that his main focus for the 2026 racing season was securing his first Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series championship driving for Jett Motorsports.

When it comes to the history of the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series, nobody has started more series events since the division was launched in 2014 than Woody Pitkat.

The Bellingham, Mass. driver has started 64 of the 68 events run since the inception of the series. That’s one better than the driver who sits second on the list, Matt Hirschman, who has 63 series starts.

Pitkat has started the last 31 consecutive Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series events. The last time he missed an event was the division’s season opener at Monadnock Speedway in 2022.

But it looks like that goal of chasing a title in 2026 could be made nearly impossible after just one race this year.

Pitkat was 17th in the season opening Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series event on April 11 at Thompson Speedway. He is not on the entry list for the division’s second event of the season on Saturday at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl.

Pitkat told RaceDayCT Tuesday morning that he was told the Jett Motorsports team is waiting on parts for the car the team intended to run at Waterford and he doesn’t expect the team to be at the event. Jett Motorsports is owned by Jariah Roderick and Steve Rollins. An attempt to reach Roderick on Tuesday morning was unsuccessful. 

After parting ways with car owner Doug Dunleavy following the 2024 season, Pitkat joined up with Jett Motorsports before the start of the 2025 season on Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series. The team ended up eighth in the series standings last season.

Jett Motorsports expanded its operation for 2026, adding a part-time team on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour with six-time Whelen Modified Tour champion Doug Coby behind the wheel. Coby announced in early February that he would run nine Whelen Modified Tour races for the team in 2026. Coby has made two starts for the team this season, finishing 18th at Thompson Speedway on April 12 and ninth at Seekonk Speedway this past Saturday.

Coby told RaceDayCT in April at Thompson that the Jett Motorsports team had asked him to run full-time on the Whelen Modified Tour in 2026 but he declined.

“I said I’m not ready for a full season because I know the crew is not,” Coby told RaceDayCT. “I just told them, if you’re going to build something let’s just pick the races that we can kind of focus on and start to build a notebook on and then whatever happens in the future happens in the future.”
