Newton, IA -
The Whelen Modified Online Tour makes it's first "fictional" stop of
the summer for the Featherlite Trailers 200 Wednesday night.
"We
just wanted to try and give the drivers a change of pace and some new
asphalt to race on" explained League Director, Richie Coy.
"That's
one of the great things about online racing" he explained further;
"We've been following the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule up until
now and we thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to race at Iowa Speedway
and give the guys a chance to race someplace different at the same
time?"
The division saw it's strongest turnout for the New Hampshire 200 two weeks ago and interest in the Iowa race is strong as well.
Thursday
night, the True Value/Dart Machinery Modified Series makes it's third
visit to Spencer Speedway in Williamson, New York for the Don Pratt
Memorial 100 presented by Monroe Extinguisher.
Saginaw,
Michigan's Chuck Darling swept both races at Spencer Speedway last year
and hopes to defend his title as the "King of Spencer."
Darling
faces a new challenge this year as SST Modified hot shoes Tony Hanbury
and Zach Truesdail look to defend their home turf and steal away a win
Thursday night.
The action cranks up Wednesday night at Iowa for
the Featherlite Trailers 200. Practice begins at 8 PM EST with Coors
Light Pole Qualifying starting at 9 PM EST.
