NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour announced its 2024 schedule Friday and will make a stop in North Wilkesboro!
A week before crowning the 2023 champion at Martinsville Speedway, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour plans to carry on a new schedule tradition by opening mere miles from the birthplace of NASCAR and finishing at one of its most historic tracks as the 16 race dates on the 2024 schedule were announced Friday.
For the third consecutive year, the tour will open at New Smyrna Speedway in Florida as part of the track's 'World Series of Asphalt Stock Cars Racking' during NASCAR's Speedweeks.
Martinsville Speedway returned to hosting the tour's season finale in 2022 and will carry on the new tradition for the third consecutive year in 2024.
"We have seen over the past two seasons how exciting it has been for our fans and competitors to open at New Smyrna and finish at Martinsville," Senior Director Jimmy Wilson said. "The mix of tracks on the schedule pays tribute to the Tour's roots and sets up a competitive season from start to finish, demonstrated by how once again this year our fans are going to see the Whelen Modified Tour title decided at the finale."
The tour concludes the 2023 season on Oct. 26, in the Virginia for Racing Lovers 200 at Martinsville Speedway, where the tour will crown a champion.
