(Press release from Souza Media)
Modified and Supermodified winner Jon McKennedy announced Thursday a busy schedule for the 2025 racing season. Again for 2025, McKennedy will compete in both the Tour-Type Modifieds and the Supermodifieds, mixed between multiple different divisions with both classes.
Between all divisions, McKennedy has roughly 35 races planned.
McKennedy’s season will begin at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on Saturday, March 29, for the Icebreaker Propane Plus 75 with the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series. It will be the first of 10 races with the Tri-Track Series that McKennedy plans to run in 2025 – making him full-time with a chase towards the series championship.
McKennedy is also slated to run eight of the 16 events on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule, beginning with Monadnock Speedway on May 3. He will also run events at Seekonk Speedway (May 31), White Mountain (June 28), Monadnock (July 19), Thompson Speedway (August 6), New Hampshire Motor Speedway (September 20), Thompson Speedway (October 12) and Martinsville Speedway (October 23).
McKennedy is also scheduled to compete in select Open Modified events, including the Northeast Classic at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (April 12) and the prestigious Spring Sizzler at Stafford Speedway on April 27. Also, he plans to run the Modified Racing Series (MRS) event at Riverside Speedway on July 5 and the MRS event at Star Speedway on September 13 for Star Classic weekend.
On the Supermodified side, McKennedy is scheduled to run four events with the International Supermodified Association – May 10 (Jennerstown), July 11-12 (Berlin Raceway), August 15 (Lee USA) and November 7-8 (Caraway Speedway).
He will also run the Bud Classic Supermodified race at Oswego Speedway on August 31.
In the New England Supermodified Series (NESS), McKennedy is slated to compete in eight races. His NESS season will start at Star Speedway on May 12, and will also go to White Mountain (May 18), Thunder Road (June 5), Star (June 15), Oxford Plains (August 24), Star (September 13), Thunder Road (October 4) and Thompson (October 12).
“It’s definitely going to be a busy season,” McKennedy said. “We’re excited for all different types of racing. Two things I love are Tour-Type Modifieds and Supermodifieds. To have the people behind me to be able to run both of them in some of the most competitive races in the country, it’s a great honor.”

35 is not, 75 used to be the average
35 events. It’s 31 weeks from the last week of March till the last week of October, so it’s manageable, unless a bad wreck happens. I’ve watched him in a modified, but never in a super modified. Those cars are awesome to watch. Wish him the best. It’s interesting that he’s running the whole Tri track series, rather than the Nascar tour. Could that be because of the travel and mid week shows?
MMTTS has 3 Wednesday shows while NASCAR has 1 Wednesday and 2 Thursday shows. I think the big difference is those Thursday shows are in Virginia while MMTTS are in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Really sucks that NASCAR can’t figure out their tour to make it worthwhile for more teams to run full-time. If they don’t get it straight soon they might be crowded out of the northeast.
