RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — Growing up a race fan on Long Island, Justin Bonsignore was drawn to fellow Long Islander Mike Ewanitsko.
Ewanitsko was a dominant force at Riverhead Raceway, now the only race track on Long Island, winning 11 times with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour at the quarter-mile bullring.
For years, no one could claim to be on the same level as Ewanitsko in Modified Tour competition at Riverhead. Now Bonsignore can say he’s surpassed him.
Justin Bonsignore enters Saturday’s Steve Park Salutes 200 at Riverhead Raceway with another chance to make history at his home track.
As the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour hits the track for the fifth race of the season, Bonsignore enters the 200-lap contest with 11 career Whelen Modified Tour wins at Riverhead. He is currently tied with Mike Ewanitsko for the most all-time – looking to break the record and hold it on his own.
