Keeping in line with our theme of March Monday Modified Madness comes a spectacular John A. Miller gallery from this weekend’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour’s Performance Plus 150 at Myrtle Beach Speedway.
It was another banner season-opening event for Timmy Solomito. Last season Solomito won the series’ lid lifter at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Connecticut to grab his first ever series win. This season he had the opportunity to be the first to celebrate once again, albeit a few states south of his home in Islip, New York.
Solomito capitalized on a late-race caution to outduel Rob Summers in a green/white/checkered finish. It was his fifth series win. Summers, who sat on pole for the race, finished Second. Andy Seuess was Third, Ryan Preece was Fourth, and Max Zachem rounded out the Top Five.
“My team did a great job,” said Solomito. “We knew we had to ride and save our stuff as much as possible for the end of the race. I knew the last five laps we had to run as hard as possible and my team gave me a car good enough to do that.”
The event was historic as it ushered in the era of a unified NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, instead of a North/South split. The series will run the majority of its races in the Northeast with stops at Bristol and Charlotte (a non-points event) in the South.
