The ASRS Modified Series is returning on Wednesday, June 18th with support from many modified fans across the country. An 11 night, 13 race schedule is planned to travel to many great short tracks across the United States. The season opens with 150 laps of racing at Florida’s New Smyrna Speedway. A special Twin 50’s format will be used at Mansfield Motorsports Park in early September, a format that was successful at Toledo Speedway in 2007.

“We’re starting from scratch with this series, and hope to see many drivers support it” ASRS President Jim Foose said. “I hated to drop the Modified Series earlier this year and feel this is the right thing to do now. Many drivers support the Modifieds and we want to welcome them to ASRS, with a division they will enjoy. I see this divison as a great part of the rebuilding of ASRS as a leader in sim racing innovation, and I am ready to see it through.”

The Modified Series travels to many traditional modified tracks, such as Thompson International Speedway, Stafford Motor Speedway, Concord Motorsports Park and New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The schedule also features a throwback flavor as events will be held at Dover International Speedway, the Pocono ¾ mile track, and Nashville Speedway USA. New homes to Modified racing, including New Smyrna Speedway and Mansfield Motorsports Park will round out the schedule.

“My plan is to start small and build on this series as we look to the future. I’d like to see it have the growth and support the All American Series had the first six months of its existence, but realize that might be a bit unrealistic. If we can average 14-18 drivers a race, I will be thrilled with this division” Continued Foose.
