A busy three-race weekend for rising driver Luke Baldwin will bring him over 700 miles across the East Coast – nevermind over 400 laps on the track. Baldwin will compete in three different events at two different tracks – Martinsville Speedway and Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park – in both a Truck and a Modified.
Baldwin will drive three different cars in the three events.
Here’s the entry list for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Icebreaker 150 from Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Thompson, Connecticut.

After a month off, the 40th anniversary season of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour roars back to life Sunday afternoon at Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park with the running of the Icebreaker 150 (4:30 p.m. ET on FloRacing).
The race marks the 156th time since the creation of the Modified Tour in 1985 the series has visited the historic oval. In fact, the first Modified Tour race was held at Thompson on March 31, 1985 and won by NASCAR Hall of Famer Richie Evans. (more…)
Thompson Speedway has always been one of Justin Bonsignore’s best tracks.
As the four-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion heads back north this weekend for the Icebreaker 150 on Sunday, he has the opportunity to continue to add to his already stout Thompson legacy.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 25, 2025) – Wrestling a racecar for 400 laps around Martinsville (Va.) Speedway necessitates a strong upper-body and powerful legs, connected with a tight core. The flat, paperclip-shaped .526-mile oval makes for a physical race where drivers have to pull their steering wheel hard to the left 800 times while stabbing their brake pedal at the end of each, 800-foot-long straightaway. Whether one’s car is lightning quick or could use a jolt of lightning, Martinsville pushes the boundaries of human performance as much as a car’s mechanical limits.
Modified and Supermodified winner Jon McKennedy announced Thursday a busy schedule for the 2025 racing season. Again for 2025, McKennedy will compete in both the Tour-Type Modifieds and the Supermodifieds, mixed between multiple different divisions with both classes.
Between all divisions, McKennedy has roughly 35 races planned.

Patrick Emerling, driver of the No. 1 Fleetworks Inc. Modified, will carry a special tribute scheme, throwing back to Geoffrey Bodine’s No. 1 Big Red Machine owned by Dick Armstrong. The scheme will be on the track for all three NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races.
