Welcome to Vintage Modified!

Modified racing is one of the oldest types of racing in the US, dating back to the days of the post-World War II coupes. Modified racing began as race drivers modified their cars to gain a competitive advantage over their fellow competitors. What started out as minor modifications to the cars has now grown to the point that some modified classes are no longer based on any current production vehicles. NASCAR was instrumental in modified racing's beginnings. Some of NASCAR's pioneers were veteran modified racers long before NASCAR's inception in 1949.

Welcome back race fans!  As usual you do not leave disappointed when you watch the Vintage Modifieds on the race track. 

A wonderful “Congratulations” goes out to Paul Field car #21 for taking home the first Main Event Trophy for the 2013 racing season.  Paul took the lead from Robert Rux car #88 and just kept going for first place in the 35-lap main event.

Overcoming several cautions, crashes and feeling the pressure of everyone behind him racing for first place Paul Field took home the first place trophy.  A well deserved win for Paul.  Again, Congratulations Paul, you certainly deserved this trophy.   A great start to the new season!


   Paul’s children, Dominick  and Rachel excited to hand off  his trophy.       

                                                                                                                                                                  Paul excitedly getting out of his car, talking to the fans and ready for his trophy.                                                                                           Paul, the trophy girl and his children.    A wonderful night of racing for the 21 team.  A win so overdue and well deserved.

The next race will be at the Evergreen Speedway in Monroe on May 25th.  Thank you again to the faithful sponsors, family members, friends and fans for always making a night watching and cheering on the Vintage Modifieds a great night at the races.
