The field for the Whelen Modified Tour Sunoco World Series 150 at Thompson Speedway is set, and the race holds a dramatic championship implication for Patrick Emerling.
Emerling enters the final event of the 2026 season with a significant advantage, holding a 30-point lead over reigning series champion Austin Beers in the standings.
With 23 teams entered for the race, Emerling is positioned to clinch the 2026 series title simply by taking the green flag on Sunday, as he only needed to finish 25th or better at Thompson Speedway.
Congratulations are extended to Patrick Emerling, team owner David Miller, crew chief Dale Hedquist, and the entire USNEPower team for their championship success.
