With only two races remaining on the 2025 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule, Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park welcomes back the series for the third and final time this year for Saturday’s World Series 150 (8:15 p.m. ET on FloRacing and The NASCAR Channel).
The event was originally scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 12, but was moved up a day due to Sunday’s unfavorable weather forecast.
Austin Beers enters Saturday nught’s race with a 13-point advantage on Justin Bonsignore in the Modified Tour standings. Every position matters for both drivers as Beers looks to inch closer to his first series championship and Bonsignore looks to make up ground in his quest for his fifth career crown.
Saturday’s race marks the 158th Modified Tour event at the 0.625-mile oval located in Thompson, Connecticut. Mike Stefanik leads all drivers with 15 series victories at Thompson. Bonsignore sits second with 14 career Thompson triumphs, followed by the late Ted Christopher’s 13 victories.

World Series 150 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park
Beers, pilot of the No. 64 Modified for KLM Motorsports, holds a 13-point edge on Justin Bonsignore in the battle for the series championship. With only two races remaining on the schedule, every position during Saturday’s race will matter as Beers looks to rewrite the history books as potentially the youngest champion in series history.
Bonsignore, meanwhile, is hoping to rekindle the same form he enjoyed last season when he won the final three races of the season to surge to the series championship. One of those races he won was the World Series 150 at Thompson, a track where he has visited Victory Lane 14 times during his career.
This season Beers has had the edge on Bonsignore at Thompson. In the two previous events at the track this season, Beers has been the best finisher of the two on both occasions.
There is more than just the battle for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship taking place at Thompson. The inaugural champion of the FloRacing Connecticut Challenge will also be crowned.
The three-race miniseries, which is exclusive to new teams or teams who have not competed in the last three years, will award $25,000 in bonus funds to eligible teams after Saturday’s race.
Matt Swanson leads the FloRacing Connecticut Challenge standings after the first two events with 72 points. Should he hang on to the championship lead at the conclusion of Saturday’s race, he and the Roscoe Racing team would take home an additional $7,500.
Other eligible drivers entered include Max Zachem, Teddy Hodgdon, Eric Berndt, Brian Sones and Dylan Slepian.
Other notable entries for Saturday’s race include Ron Silk, Craig Lutz, Patrick Emerling, Matt Hirschman, Stephen Kopcik, Anthony Nocella, Kyle Bonsignore, Chase Dowling, Andrew Krause, Eric Goodale, Woody Pitkat, Timmy Solomito and Tommy and Trevor Catalano.
