WADING RIVER, N.Y. – Three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Justin Bonsignore and his Ken Massa Motorsports team are ready for another season.
This Saturday, February 10, Bonsignore will sit behind the wheel of the No. 51 Phoenix Communications Inc. Modified in the 200-lap season opener for the Whelen Modified Tour at New Smyrna Speedway. Bonsignore opened 2023 with a second-place finish at New Smyrna and also finished second in the championship standings after a grueling 18-race schedule. The season included five wins and 15 top-five finishes.
For 2024, the Whelen Modified Tour has a 16-race schedule planned, beginning in the sunshine state.
“Always a pleasure to go down to Florida to kick-off the year,” Bonsignore said. “It’s important to get the season off on the right foot on the Whelen Modified Tour with our Phoenix Communications team. New Smyrna is a fast track and requires you to be up on the wheel right from lap one. We hope everyone can make it down there to see us race in person or watch the season opener live on FloRacing. It’s going to be a great show.”
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour opener at New Smyrna includes two practice sessions. Bonsignore will be on the track from 1-1:45 p.m., followed by 2:45-3:30 p.m. Qualifying is set for 5:30 p.m., while the green flag for 200 laps is slated for 7:30 p.m.
