The Sadler-Stanley Racing, Pace-O-Matic team heads for the next SMART Modified Tour event this Saturday evening. At Dominion Raceway, the team will bring three entries – Luke Baldwin, Jonathan Cash and Bobby Labonte – to chase the checkered flag in the Flying VA Classic.
With just four races remaining in the championship battle for 2024, the Dominion event will mark the final cutoff for the SMART Modified Tour playoff field. The SMART playoff field after this event will include the top-five drivers in the championship standings. At this point, Pace-O-Matic team driver Luke Baldwin is third in the standings and in position to qualify. If he can seal the deal, the Racing Electronics Rookie of the Year contender and one-time feature winner (South Boston) will chase the championship.
Justin Bonsignore is heading for the final five NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races at the top of the championship standings. The chase for his fourth championship continues this Saturday night, September 14, as the Whelen Modified Tour rolls to Riverhead Raceway for the Ed Partridge 256.
In honor of the late Partridge, who operated the track for many years, the Whelen Modified Tour runs this special event each September, with extra laps, and a special pit road set up in the infield for pit stops. In the two-year history of the race, Bonsignore went to Victory Lane both times. The New York native has 11 career Riverhead Raceway Tour wins, tied with Mike Ewanitsko for the most all-time. Bonsignore leads all active drivers in the category.
