TOUR-TYPE MODS RETURN TO THOMPSON-BUD 150 ENTRIES NEAR 30.
THOMPSON, CT. The third of four Tour-Type Modified shoot out races will be held this Thursday, August 5th, at the Thompson International Speedway. These exciting, open competition style Modified races have been a big hit with Thompson fans and with this week’s event and another scheduled for Thursday, September 2nd, these 40-lap shoot outs could easily become a staple in annual race schedules.
Top Modified drivers have indicated that they love the short, 40-lap dash format. It means flat out racing from start to finish and, for many, it brings back what has been called the golden era of Modified racing in New England.

Jon Moore Takes The High Road At Whip City Speedway
BY MARK McKEON
WESTFIELD, MA – Former champ Jon Moore solidified his points lead with his second win of the season in the marquee 1200cc class. “We had a pretty good race,” Moore said. “It seemed like I was racing with Jerry Sehn all night. I got underneath him in the heat and got by him. He wasn’t about to let that happen again in the feature, so I had to make a run for the high side going down the backstretch and I got by him coming off turn four. I think he was having a good time; I know I was.” (more…)

DJ Shaw Derailed From Potential Podium Finish At Lee
Lee, N.H. (July 31, 2010): DJ Shaw was well on his way to a top-three finish at Lee USA Speedway in Friday night’s NASCAR K&N Pro Series East 125. But a spin on lap 89 took the 20-year-old driver out of contention and the JLM Precision race team had to settle with a 12th place finish.
“I got wrecked,” said a dejected Shaw. “We probably had the second place car. It was a bad day for me. I hadn’t even started going yet. I felt like I could have passed Eddie (MacDonald) at any time on a long run, and if Ryan (Truex) had been patient he probably would have won that race.”
