Mods to get early release

At least they let them know beforehand this time.

The New Hampshire 100 for the Whelen Modified Tour became the New Hampshire 75, when it was announced to the media that the event would be shortened as the cars rolled off pit road.

That's the 2nd time this year in 2 trips to Loudon the Modified event has been shortened. The race was trimmed to 85 laps in June to accomodate for ESPN2's broadcast of the Busch Series event that same afternoon.

That would suggest they're going to try and cram the USAC Silver Crown 75-lapper in at the end of the day (evening) here.

Life in the fast lane, I suppose.

And, just in case you are wondering, Ron Hornaday led 174 laps en route to winning the New Hampshire 200 for the Craftsman Truck Series.
