CLAREMONT, N.H. — The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will return to Claremont Motorsports Park for the first time since 2007.
JDV Productions will promote the 150-lap race that is scheduled for July 29.
It is the 14th confirmed event on the series’ 16-race schedule and the third that will be promoted by JDV Productions, which is led by Josh Vanada. The other two races are May 28 at Jennerstown (Pa.) Speedway and June 18 at Monadnock (N.H.) Speedway.
“We are eager to bring the prestige and the excitement of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour back to Claremont, New Hampshire for the first time in over a decade,” Vanada said. “The long time between visits will provide an interesting challenge for those who may not have competed at the third-mile oval before. The track’s unique characteristics will put crew chiefs and drivers to the test. Fans will not want to miss this race.”
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour has only visited Claremont twice — in 1985 and 2007.
The track, nestled deep into the mountains of New Hampshire, runs NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Racing Series divisions on Friday nights throughout the summer.
“We are really excited to welcome the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour back to Claremont,” Mike Parks, promoter and operator of the track, said. “Having the Whelen Modified Tour is something we have been looking at doing for a while ourselves and it just wasn’t quite right for us. I’ve worked with Josh on and off for about 10 years. We communicated with each other and we felt this was the right time to work together and have JDV Productions promote the race.”
