“We are so happy to have the Whelen Modified Tour coming in for two events that our fans will be thrilled to see during the 2026 season,” David Alburn, Competition Director for Seekonk Speedway, said. “The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is the oldest running touring series in NASCAR and has been keeping fans on the edge of their seats for 40 years. We’re excited to see them back in May for the J&R Precast 150 and also thrilled to see them headlining our annual mid-week event in July for the Firecracker 150”

The July 1 event will be the 21st annual Midweek Madness at Seekonk Speedway. Matt Hirschman, who has won the last three NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events at Seekonk, is a six-time winner of that event. 

Seekonk Speedway will release the 2026 event schedule in the near future. For more information on the Action Track of the East, visit SeekonkSpeedway.com and follow the track on social media for the latest news and information.
