About the Whelen Modified Tour Series

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is the oldest division in NASCAR, featuring powerful open-wheel race cars renowned for their raw speed and distinctive design. Unlike the stock cars used in the Cup Series, Modifieds have exposed front tires, lightweight bodies, and massive horsepower, making them some of the fastest short-track machines in American motorsports.

About the NASCAR Cup Series

The NASCAR Cup Series is the top level of stock car racing in the United States. It features the most experienced drivers and best-funded teams, with a schedule of about 36 races across a variety of tracks, including superspeedways, road courses, and short tracks. The season ends with a playoff format involving 16 drivers, culminating in a four-driver championship race. Iconic events like the Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600 are part of the Cup calendar, and the series is known for its intense competition and large fan base.

About the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series 

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is America’s top national pickup-truck stock‑car series, now in its 31st season. It races powerful, purpose-built trucks across ovals and road courses, offering a unique blend of speed, strategy, and close‑quarters competition. Positioned below the Cup and Xfinity Series, the Truck Series is a proving ground where rising stars make their mark, veterans sharpen their craft, and fans enjoy some of NASCAR’s most intense, grassroots-style racing.
