Mod Tour or demolition derby? You don't have to choose...

Don't you just love a little revisionist history?

Moments after Todd Szegedy won a crash-marred New Hampshire 100 for the Whelen Modified Tour -- which was shortened to 75 laps by time constraints -- track announcer and veteran of NASCAR microphones Ken Squier praised the event.

"You'll never see racing any better than that at any facility across America," Squier proclaimed over the PA system.

Cute. Folksy. Starry-eyed.

And completely avoiding the facts.

Six of the race's first 37 laps were run under the green flag. Fifteen cars finished on the lead lap out of 39 starters. Cup driver J.J. Yeley pulled off with mechanical issues 24 laps from the end.

As Szegedy battled Ronnie Silk, Bobby Santos III and Donny Lia in a mad 4-car drafting pack over the closing laps, Squier made another startling observation: "This is what Modified racing is all about. These guys don't give each other an inch."

Yeah, um, no kidding. We saw that with the multi-car wrecks that took 14 cars out of the race before it was 50 laps old. Pileups in turn 1, in turn 2 and in turn 4 completely ruined the first half of the race. A thrilling finish to an awful, awful race.

Even Szegedy suggested in victory lane that mirror-driving was a key to victory.

"I did everything I could to block those guys," Szegedy said.
