I've heard 5 Caraway dates and a new track the Tour has never been to before, which I speculate to be Gresham Motorsports Park

From The Norwich Bulletin:


September’s North/South shootout, which featured both the Whelen Northern and Southern Modified Tours, will return. Hoenig said he, NASCAR and Whelen will be working on the project over the offseason to possibly get television coverage.

“It would help us get some more leverage to go out and find some sponsorship. The sponsors get a little bit of exposure out of it,” Hoenig said.

The format this year was two 125-lap races for each Tour followed by a 50-lap shootout. The 125-lap races will remain the same, although Hoenig may see if he can tinker with the 50-lap showdown race format.

Hey man

Dont change the 50 lap shootout, I thought it was perfect....Allow some sort of tire changing in the 125's though!!

I heard Houston Motorsports Park. A friend who races there said it was annouced by the track owner at a drivers meeting that the NWSMT would have a date in 2012.

Wow, just googled the track thinking that might be just a track named after say Tommy Houston or something but no it really is in Houston Tx. I guess that would be the Southern tours Canada swing?

maybe they will let their own modifieds run against them.

I'll believe there is a race in Texas when I see it.

As for your Canada reference.....From Thompson to Delaware Speedway is 10 hours and from the Stadium to Houston is 18 hours. Might as well make it 30 hours because that is a two day trip. There is no way our guys would travel two days to run for the chicken scratch 2000
