Teddy Hodgdon to chase Modified Tour rookie honors, Tri Track wins

Teddy Hodgdon intends to compete full-time in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour in the Ted Hodgdon No. 55 entry for all 16 events in pursuit of Rookie of the Year honors.

“I’m ready as ever to step up to full-time on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour,” Teddy Hodgdon said. “Last year, we got our feet wet with the Connecticut challenge, and some of the bigger races. To focus on the whole schedule in 2026, we know what to expect. I’ve got a great group of guys and partners behind me, and we’re all super excited to get the season underway at New Smyrna.”

This journey will begin at New Smyrna Speedway for the 200-lap season-opening NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event on Saturday, February 7. The second event is at Martinsville Speedway on March 27.

Hodgdon made five NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour appearances during the 2025 season, earning a best result of 12th at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

Hodgdon will also compete in the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series, driving the No. 07 for JMA Motorsports. The Monaco Modified calendar includes events in New Hampshire, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

“I’m really grateful for the opportunity to drive for Justin and his team in the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series,” Hodgdon said. “Justin and the JMA Motorsports team have a proven record bringing a great car to the track, so we should be competitive everywhere we go. Justin has been great to work with and I have no doubt we will be contending for wins.”
