Brushy Mountain Powersports 150 was postponed as region begins recovery from Hurricane Helene’s impact
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 2, 2024) – The Brushy Mountain Powersports 150 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at North Wilkesboro Speedway has been rescheduled for Sunday, Oct. 20, at 2 p.m. ET.
NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports announced earlier this week the postponement of the event, originally scheduled for this coming weekend, in cooperation with local authorities to ensure all local emergency resources remain dedicated to clean-up and recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s impact on the area.
The race now becomes the penultimate race on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule, and will play a key set-up role for the championship finale at Martinsville Speedway on October 26. Next up, the Tour heads to Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on Sunday, Oct. 13.
Defending and two-time champion Ron Silk and three-time champion Justin Bonsignore are continuing their rivalry stemming from their down-to-the-wire championship battle from a year ago. The pair is separated by only 11 points with three races remaining in the season. Silk leads the standings and holds the advantage in wins this year with four over Bonsignore’s two.
Tour veteran Patrick Emerling, the most recent race winner at Monadnock Speedway, has come on strong late in the season with three wins in the last four races, and lurks only five points behind Bonsignore.
Advance tickets for adults are $30 and $35 on race day for the Brushy Mountain Powersports 150. Tickets for kids ages 12 and under are $10. Fans can visit www.NorthWilkesboroSpeedway.com to purchase.
