NASCAR Planning For More Whelen Modified Tour TV Coverage In 2010 ( http://blogs.courant.com/autoracing/)

that would be great

I know that the likely candidates for TV coverage will (and should) be for New Hampshire, Martinsville and Bristol, but I would love to see the Mods showcased on a 1/2 mile track as well. Stafford, with it's all of it's tradition and colorful atmosphere would be my choice. Even though I'd likely miss the coverage because I'll be seated in the grandstands that day, the rest of the country should see the Mods on their home turf. If Speed or Versus (or whoever) is successful, I'll add -dare I say- Riverhead to my TV coverage wish list...1/4 mile 'bullring Modified racing on TV! Now that would be something, huh?
I'll believe it when I see it, but added TV dates - especially at a track like Stafford or Thompson, may just help it getting tracks like Spencer, Chemung
etc. back on the Tour schedule in 2011

But your wish may have come true. Riverhead weekly shows will be on FIOS for 2010. They are videoing Saturday night shows and the WMT is a Saturday night show....

WOW...I had no idea! I get Fios1 but It's only shown local (NJ) sports programing so far. I'd love to see the weekly shows. An email to Verizon is in order!
Thanks for the tip!

"hearing that NASCAR is very close to finalizing a deal that will see at least 10 Whelen Modified Tour races on national TV in 2010."


my guess is riverhead...monadonock...and lime rock wont be shown

I'm thinking My Nads Knock would be too much for the viewing audience. Way to many law suits from wheels coming right out of the HD TV's OMG what an introduction to the mods that would be!!!!!!!
