The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour took center stage Saturday afternoon at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for one of the most anticipated races on its annual schedule. Jon McKennedy emerged victorious following a two-lap shootout to conclude the 100-lap event, earning his first career victory at the track known as the “Magic Mile.”
McKennedy fended off a stout field behind him with Tommy Catalano, Ryan Preece and Justin Bonsignore all duking it out for the win on the final restart. After Bonsignore crashed in turn two on the final lap, it was Catalano earning runner-up honors and Preece completing the podium.
Defending race winner Tyler Rypkema and Trevor Catalano rounded out the top five.
McKennedy’s victory was his third of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season and moved him within 25 points of championship leader Austin Beers, who took advantage of Patrick Emerling’s early misfortunes to take control of the points lead.
