Few racing experiences capture the raw energy and authenticity of motorsports quite like the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT). Deeply rooted in New England culture, this series blends decades of history with modern-day intensity creating a must-see spectacle for avid racing fans and newcomers alike. Each year, when the Tour rolls into New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS), it’s about more than just a race – it’s a full weekend celebration of speed, community and high-stakes competition at “The Magic Mile.”

In the heart of New England, where short tracks and racing heritage run deep, the NWMT stands as one of the region’s most iconic traditions. At NHMS, that legacy comes alive in front of passionate fans who have made this style of racing a cornerstone of the sport.
The Mohegan Sun 100 is the centerpiece – an event that showcases everything fans love about Modified racing: tight competition, fearless driving and a connection to grassroots racing that feels authentic and personal.
High-Intensity Racing That Delivers
Modifieds are built for action. Their lightweight design and powerful engines create nonstop, wheel-to-wheel racing that keeps fans locked in from green flag to checkered.
