One of the most challenging and fastest short tracks in New Hampshire looms large on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule this Memorial Day weekend.
NASCAR’s oldest and only open-wheel division returns to Lee USA Speedway on Saturday, May 27 for the second running of the Granite State Derby, taking center stage on an action-packed afternoon to jump-start the holiday weekend.
Only a short drive from the beaches and boardwalks along the Atlantic Ocean, Lee is the longest and fastest of New Hampshire’s seven paved bullrings. Speed at Lee, though, comes with a cost. The track’s aged and abrasive asphalt punishes tires, and the fastest driver at the checkered flag will be the one who manages their equipment best to outlast the field during 175 laps. The strategy will also come into play, as teams will have two opportunities to visit pit road for fresh Hoosier racing rubber.

Race Advance by Souza Media
MILFORD, Conn. – It’s a double-duty kind of weekend for Mayhew Tools driver Doug Coby.
The six-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion will compete in the fifth race of the Tour season on Saturday at Lee USA Speedway, set for 175 laps, driving the Tommy Baldwin Racing No. 7NY. On Sunday, the Connecticut native will make a visit to Vermont for his first start at Thunder Road Speedbowl as part of the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series season-opening race with his own No. 10.
Coby and Baldwin enter the Granite State Derby at Lee as the defending winners of the race. With six change tires in the pit area again this year, strategy and tire conservation will both play a major role in deciding if they can make it back-to-back. The Mayhew Tools No. 7NY has already been in Tour Victory Lane this season at Monadnock Speedway on May 6 in round one of the Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup. Saturday’s event at Lee is the second of three in the Cup, with Coby and the Baldwin Racing team currently leading the charge in the points.
