We haven't seen the ad, so we are not sure. Teams often put their equipment up for sale at the end of a season if they are planning to update their equipment for the next year or change divisions/tours.

We are only 10 of 20 laps into the Limited Sportsman feature here at Thompson, so we think that the 1:45pm scheduled start time for the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour race might be delayed a little bit.

It rained last night. All of New England got to see some pretty crazy weather in fact - with Tornado warnings being the case in many parts of the region. Today, the skies have cleared however and it is a nice, cool and clear afternoon for racing. The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour race is the first one of the day - starting at 1:45pm, so if you are in the area, come on down to the track. You won't be disappointed. 
12:10
Welcome to Connecticut, where the UNOH Showdown is set to take place today at Thompson International Speedway (CT). First, we will have the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour hit the track for a regular points race, then the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will take part in a regular points race and to conclude the day, the best finishers of each feature will faceoff in a special non-point, all-glory Showdown event at the end of the day. We'll have every lap of the three features right here on Speed51.com - so stay tuned.
