Seven races remain in the SMART Modified Tour season, including the annual Beach Trip double this weekend in the Southeast.
The Sadler-Stanley Racing, Pace-O-Matic team is fired up to get back to the track for the first time in over a month with two short-track races in North Carolina.
Friday night, the SMART stars return to Coastal Plains Raceway (formerly New River All-American) for the Cardinal 99. Saturday, teams will move across the state to Carteret County Speedway for the Carteret Clash.
Last year, the Beach Trip events were both run on the same day due to Mother Nature. This year, as of release time, the weather looks great for two days of competition. Both Jonathan Cash and series points leader and defending champion Luke Baldwin will be back behind the wheel.
“Our entire team is excited to get back to the beach for the doubleheader with the SMART Modified Tour this weekend,” Cash said. “We had really good runs in both races last year with a second at Carteret, our best run of the year in 2024. We are looking to improve and get one spot better and set ourselves up for the run to the finish of the season.”
“Pumped up to be finally going back to some SMART Modified Tour racing this weekend,” Luke Baldwin said. “Our Sadler-Stanley Racing team has been great again this year. I feel really good about our speed for this seven race stretch to finish the year. Hopefully we can bring the Pace-O-Matic, 7VA, to another championship.”
The schedule on Friday at Coastal Plains includes practice from 3:40-4:25 p.m., followed by qualifying at 5:45 p.m. and the Cardinal 99 race at 7 p.m. On Saturday at Carteret, practice will take place from 2:15-2:55 p.m., followed by qualifying at 4:15 p.m. and the green flag for the race at 7 p.m. Both events will air live on FloRacing.TV.
