The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour stars are set to return to the track next Wednesday, August 5, for the Thompson 150 at Thompson Speedway. The main focus for fans will be on Patrick Emerling, who is aiming to secure his fourth consecutive victory in the NWMT.
Emerling has shown significant growth in his open-wheeled performance since rejoining full-time competition in 2024. Partnering with USNE Power, he has established himself as a strong contender, having already won the last three NWMT events leading into this upcoming race.
Thompson Speedway is a familiar venue for Emerling, who has previously dominated the midweek shows. This history adds another layer of anticipation as he looks to maintain his winning streak at the Big-T.
Despite Emerling's pursuit, the field remains highly competitive. Drivers like Austin Beers, the defending champion, are also looking for their first Thompson Speedway win, while others such as Stephen Kopcik and Jon McKennedy are poised to make a strong run in the championship chase.
