MODTASTIC THREE” AT THOMPSON SPEEDWAY

THOMPSON, CT.  The “MODTASTIC THREE” kicks off this Thursday at Thompson International Speedway. Intervention by Mother Nature has forced the famed oval to readjust its racing schedule and, as a result, Modified racing will top the bill for the next three weeks.

Beginning this Thursday, June 17th, the Modified Racing Series will take top billing when they make their first of two scheduled appearances at Thompson and compete in a 75-lap main event. The following Thursday, June 24th, will be the twice-postponed running of the first  of four open competition Tour-Type Modified 40-lap Shoot Outs sponsored by Town Fair Tire. Week three ( July 1st) of the “MODTASTIC THREE” series will be the regularly scheduled, Lajoie Auto & Scrap Recycling sponsored, second appearance of the open competition Tour-Type Modified Shoot Outs.
