This will be the fourth visit for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour at White Mountain with Doug Coby looking to take his second Modified victory at the highbanked North Woodstock oval. ‘Big Money’ Matt Hirschman is looking to make a statement Saturday with a win to help climb the standings while the two-groove facility could also lean into rookies like Paulie Hartwig Jr. and veterans like McKennedy, Ronnie Williams, Patrick Emerling and Eric Goodale alike!
