Between the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, Modified Touring Series, Tri Track Series and the Valenti Modified Racing Series there will be a total of 30 Modified Touring races in New England during the 2017 racing season.  It’s going to be a tight squeeze within the 31 week racing season from early April through early October.  During the 2016 racing season there were 32 Modified races between the four tours.  One of the 2016 Tri-Track Series  events at Mondnock Speedway was cancelled due to no suitable rain date.  We can expect to see some cancellations in 2017 due to weather issues.  For 2017 we also noticed a conflict between Stafford Motor Speedway’s Modified Touring Series and Lee USA Speedway’s Valenti Modified Touring Series  on Friday night, July 21 which will impact the entries at each track.
