Doug Coby Leads Laps, Finishes Eighth at Thompson Speedway

THOMPSON, Conn. – Early in Sunday’s Sunoco World Series 150 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, Doug Coby had the car to beat in the Mayhew Tools No. 10. Leading the entire first half of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour main event, Coby looked to be in control before the race continued under green all the way until the finish.

The car faded a bit in the second half of the race, and Coby finished in the eighth position. However, he was still able to celebrate after the race. Coby joined the Tommy Baldwin Racing celebration, as the team unofficially clinched the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour owner’s championship on Sunday. Coby wheeled the No. 7NY for the team in multiple events during the 2022 season, capturing three feature wins with the group along the way. This Thompson event was behind the wheel of his own Doug Coby Racing entry.

“Tommy’s had the best car all year no matter who has been driving it,” Coby said. “I’m happy for Tommy and his team, they are a good group of guys. They are deserving of it and they have been working really hard on their program. It’s neat. As far as the race, we wouldn’t have changed a thing on the car if there was a caution and we pitted. We could have won the race if we had the chance to go in and get tires. I do think we had the best car for a 50 lap run today but just not the best for a 150-lap run.”

Doug Coby will return to the track at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia for the final race of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season on Thursday, October 27.
