Fourteen years have passed since Matt Hirschman last contested the entire NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule.
A lot has changed during that time for both Hirschman and the series, but one thing that hasn’t changed is Hirschman’s ability to win races. The driver from Northampton, Pennsylvania is always a threat to reach Victory Lane no matter where he’s racing. In fact, Hirschman has won a race in five consecutive Modified Tour seasons despite racing on part-time basis.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour’s fall trip to Riverhead Raceway has carried plenty of sentimental value over the past few seasons.
Riverhead’s longtime co-owner Eddie Partridge passed away in 2021 shortly after his team won a Modified Tour race at Richmond Raceway with Ryan Preece. To honor his memory, the fall Tour event at Riverhead was renamed the Eddie Partridge 256, all while a replica of Partridge’s car remains suspended over the track.
