NASCAR Modified Tour New Hampshire entries, storylines

One of the most anticipated races of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season, the Mohegan Sun 100 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, is on the docket this Saturday morning at 9:15 a.m. ET live on FloRacing.

The race, which serves as the 13th of 16 events on the 2025 calendar, marks the 77th visit by NASCAR’s oldest division to the 1.058-mile oval located in Loudon, New Hampshire. Mike McLaughlin won the first NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event held at the track in 1990 and is one of only 24 drivers to win with the series at the track.

Mike Stefanik holds the series record with eight victories at New Hampshire. Other notable winners at the track include Tony Hirschman, Reggie Ruggiero, Bobby Santos III, Ted Christopher, John Blewett III, Doug Coby, Steve Park, Todd Szegedy, Mike Ewanitsko, Jeff Fuller, Chuck Hossfeld, Ron Silk and the most recent winner, Justin Bonsignore.

Tickets to Saturday’s Mohegan Sun 100 are available here. Below is everything you need to know about the 13th race of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season.

Mohegan Sun 100

It’s been more than a year since six-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Doug Coby made his most recent start with the series. That changes Saturday when Coby returns to competition at the wheel of Tommy Baldwin Jr.’s No. 7NY at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

This won’t be the first time Coby has driven for Baldwin. The pairing worked together from 2022 to 2024, with Coby scoring four victories for Baldwin’s team. Coby is a four-time winner at the Magic Mile, with his most recent win at the track coming in 2016.

If Coby is going to earn his fifth New Hampshire Motor Speedway victory Saturday, he will have to go through the best the Modified Tour has to offer.

Leading the charge will be Justin Bonsignore, who has won the last two NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races at the track. Bonsignore enters Saturday’s race 17 points behind KLM Motorsports’ Austin Beers in the battle for the series championship and a win at New Hampshire would be exactly the type of momentum he needs to remain in the fight.

In addition to Coby and Bonsignore, other previous winners at the track who are entered include three-time winner Ron Silk, 2022 winner Anthony Nocella and 2014 winner Woody Pitkat.

Mike Christopher Jr., nephew of late NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Ted Christopher, will make his first start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday morning in his family-owned No. 13. He’ll also be making his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut later Saturday afternoon.

Craig Lutz, who has won the first two NASCAR Cup Series companion events on the series schedule this year, will make his 150th career NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour start Saturday aboard Russell Goodale’s No. 46.

Other notable entrants for Saturday morning’s event include Patrick Emerling, Eric Goodale, Kyle Bonsignore, Matt Hirschman, Andy Seuss, Jon McKennedy, Jake Lutz and Tommy and Trevor Catalano, among others.
