WMT to Seekonk in 2016

[BigMac]

This may be old news for some but as first reported by race chaser online it appears the tour is heading back to Seekonk:

SEEKONK, Mass. — Story by Race Chaser Online New England Correspondent Kyle Souza –

Ever since the Seekonk Speedway announced they would be going NASCAR sanctioned in 2016, questions have been flying left and right on if the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour would be coming to town.

The answer to that question for 2015 was no, with the sanction only coming on board in February it simply would not have been enough for the work to make it come together.

Now, with 2016 closing in, it appears fans may be able to witness NASCAR’s greatest modified stars on the 1/3 mile track. According to multiple sources at the track, the Seekonk Speedway has secured a primary sponsor for the 2016 event and is looking for a date to hold the tour.

That is good news maybe NASCAR can work on getting tour races to other sanctioned tracks Chemung Spencer Airborne if they are running and Devils Bowl come to mind

You can forget about Airborne & Devil's Bowl - they both backed out of dates for the VMRS, and a purse for the NWMT is way beyond their means. Devil's Bowl only gets a few hundred people for their weekly shows, you sure aren't going to pay a $50,000 or $60,000 purse with a crowd like that.

And there will be no NWMT at Chemung. The cost the track must pay for a WMT race makes it extremely difficult to actually run the event on the + side of $$$$.
