The local short track racing scene continues to generate plenty of discussion, with several series and tracks dominating the conversation this season. Among the highlights, the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series is gearing up for a major trip south in February, promising exciting action for fans.
Other major topics include the future of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, which may face challenges with car counts in 2027. Meanwhile, Stafford Motor Speedway continues to set a high standard for competition, consistently raising the bar for local racers.
The longevity of certain venues is also a point of discussion. Cris Michaud and Tom Mayberry are recognized for their efforts in keeping the Thompson Speedway oval operational, and their dedication is noted as deserving more credit.
Finally, the leadership changes at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl have been scrutinized, leading to questions about whether Shawn Monahan's takeover in 2026 was a success or a disappointment.
