“While the delay is unfortunate, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour put on a great Sunday show last summer and we’re certain they’ll do it again this time around,” said WMMP managing partner Cris Michaud. “The move also allows some of our Late Model teams greater flexibility to visit Riverside Speedway on Friday with the day in between for any repairs.”
