On track: Whelen Modified Tour

The ride to New Hampshire International Speedway was free and clear this morning (or, as they say in the racing vernacular, "Clean and Green").


We're locked in and the Whelen Modified Tour is on the track as I write this, running through the first of many practice sessions this weekend. They're expected to qualify -- weather permitting -- at 2:50 this afternoon. The driver of the shuttle running from the media parking lot to the infield said serious thunderstorms should blow through here sometime later today.


Of course, that also means that they will bring with them some much needed cooler weather -- and we're expected to top out temperature-wise in the upper 60s and lower 70s for the rest of the weekend here.


Make sure to check back often, as we're going with semi-live updates all 4 days of the NASCAR weekend here. Green flag No. 1 of the weekend flies in 29 hours and 15 minutes with the New England 125 for the Busch East Series.
