The Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series will kick-off their 2027 season in a big way, with plenty of action expected next year.

The season opens Saturday, February 13 at New Smyrna Speedway in Florida with an unprecedented combination event with the SMART Tour. It closes Saturday, October 23 at Seekonk Speedway in Massachusetts.

Renee Dupuis, Director of Monaco Modified Series Development, is excited for this brand new opportunity to start their 14th season at such a prestigious track.

“We’re coming off our strongest season yet, and we can’t wait to build on that momentum in 2027,” Depuis said. “Opening the year with a first-of-its-kind combination event with the SMART Tour at New Smyrna, while welcoming new venues to the Monaco Modified family, makes this our most ambitious
undertaking yet. Fans can look forward to another season of some of the most competitive racing on
the East Coast.”

There are still two dates open, Saturday, July 31 and Saturday, September 18. Details will be
released in the coming weeks. Both dates will be held at a facility that has not previously hosted
a Monaco Modified Series event.

With the Monaco Modifieds kicking off their season in Florida along side the SMART Tour, it’s a major accomplishment for the series.

“It’s certainly a statement and it’s something that we’ve been trying to do with Chris Williams for two or three years now,” Depuis said to Short Track Scene. “We have a great relationship with Chris. We’ve been trying to do a combo race. When we heard that New Smyrna was looking at doing something different for this coming year. Chris said, ‘hey, you interested in throwing your hat in the ring?’  I said yes. This started last February and there were times when I wasn’t sure that this was ever going to happen. Then at times where I was like, well, maybe this is going to happen after all. It’s been a process, but we’re super proud to open the season down there.

Dupuis who as a former Tour Type Modified racer herself knows the importance of having her series get the opportunity to be a part of the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway.

“It’s a rite of passage for modified racers at New Smyrna,” Depuis said. “I raced there myself in the late 80s, early 90s and it’s just, I don’t know how else to describe it other than if you’re a modified fan. It’s where people go. It’s where we’ve been going for decades and it’s a cool track. The Hart family are awesome to deal with and it’s just something we’re really looking forward to.”

The Monaco Modified will then head back north to New England and kick off the championship fight at Thompson Speedway in Thompson, Connecticut on Saturday, April 3rd, 2027. It was 2026 Monaco Modified champ, Jonathan McKennedy picking up the win this past April to get his championship run going and bookended the season with another win at Thompson in October.

The series then heads to coastal Connecticut with a date with New London-Waterford Speedbowl on Saturday, May 22nd, 2027. Matt Hirschman dominated the Speedbowl in 2026, picking up his 25th and 26th series wins.

The championship fight then heads back to northeast Connecticut on Sunday, June 27th at Thompson Speedway, the second visit of the 2027 season. Ron Silk picked up the June win this past season.

The Monaco Modifieds head to central Connecticut at Stafford Motor Speedway on Wednesday July, 14th for the GAF Roofing Modified Masters, where someone will get to the chance to fight for a white jacket. In 2026 it was Ron Silk taking home the white jacket in July.

Seekonk Speedway is on the schedule for a mid-August visit on Saturday, August 14th, and the championship fight will close out at Seekonk in late October on Saturday, October 23rd. McKennedy won at Seekonk in August, and Teddy Hodgdon picked up the win to close out the Monaco Modified season in 2026.

The Monaco Modifieds then will be apart of NAPA Fall Final weekend on Saturday, October 2nd. McKennedy continued his winning ways in 2026 at Stafford for the Fall Final in September.
