Weather Postpones Whelen
Modified Tour's Finale to Oct. 25
Due to an ominous forecast that includes
the possibility of rain and snow in the area throughout the
weekend, NASCAR officials and Thompson International Speedway
have decided to postpone the World Series of Speedway Racing
presented by Xtra Mart, the season finale for the NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour.
Events for the World Series were scheduled for this weekend,
Oct. 16-18, with the Whelen Modified Tour’s 150-lap race slated
for Sunday, Oct. 18. The event has now been pushed back one week
to Oct. 23-25. The same schedule for the race weekend will
remain in tact, with the Whelen Modified Tour to now race on
Sunday, Oct. 25.
The 2009 season finale for the Whelen Modified Tour will feature
the closest championship race in eight years as Donny Lia leads
Ryan Preece by just 26 points. Lia will be contending for his
second championship in the last three years while Preece will
look for his first. Defending champion Ted Christopher is 109
points back in third place.
The Whelen Modified Tour will practice and qualify at Thompson
on Saturday, Oct. 24 and the final green flag of the season is
set to drop on Sunday, Oct. 25 at approximately 3:30 p.m.
