Whelen Modified Tickets

From the headquarters in Daytona Beach Florida, NASCAR exuberantly announced that a new series that would be the all new Whelen Modified. It would add an additional two venues to the roster and be comprised on 14 total events to take place in five states. Seven of the events are held at the Thompson International Speedway and Stafford Motor Speedway. These events are in addition to the more tradition ones held at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

For over 50 competitions, the most exciting and nail-biting finishes have made each ticket worth a pile of gold when fans are always witness to the photo-finish finales of these raises which have been called the 'Magic Mile'. Tickets to the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee allow access into the home of 'The World's Fastest Half Mile'. A doubleheader is arranged with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and is known as the Modifieds. The best NASCAR tickets are always to a Whelen Modified event. The drivers mount to their metal steeds and blaze with the fire of scorched earth over, under and around what are known as some of the ultimate speedways and short tracks. Monadnock Speedway and the track at Lime Rock Park have also been recently added as new venues for which NASCAR fans can buy the ultimate racing tickets to witness the Whelen Modified.

NASCAR debuted the NASCAR Modified Division in the latter part of 1947, with the first sanctioned race the following February in 1948. It was held at the home course of Daytona. The winner of the prize at the first Whelen Modified was the legendary Red Byron. In 1949, ticket holding fans watched as the race evolved from the Strictly Stock division into the Sprint Cup in 1949. The Modifieds that were essentially completely stock car races were now allowed to develop and evolve to what are now AAA Championship Cars, Midgets, and Sprints. These cars make use of truck parts as modifications to the stock frame. Into the 1970's, many cars were primarily known for homebuilt parts that evolved from the innovation in the use of big-block engines, 18' tires, offset engine locations, fuel injection systems, and other technical specifics. Anyone who was smart enough to have bought tickets to a Whelen Modified was witness to most incredibly fast machines pushed full throttle by their drivers on smaller short tracks than they would normally be.

While tickets to a Modified were originally sold for dirt tracks, NASCAR modified the rules making asphalt the new standard in the 1970's. Then, in the 1980s, the expense started to outweigh the results and was not being offset by ticket sales, despite the massive attendance. This was in regards to the racing teams having to travel several long distances over short periods of time. Over the years, the series evolved and was scheduled with a more limited amount of races that allowed for more space between each competition. Despite the transitions that the Whelen Modified has seen since it sold it's first tickets, NASCAR fans now experience a far more refined testament to the Modified experience and never miss their chance to get a hold of tickets to at least one of the races.
