Unfavorable weather conditions
at
New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Thursday washed out time trials for
the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. Current points leader Chuck
Hossfeld will now start on the pole for Saturday’s New England 100.
With the rainout lineup, the field for the New England 100 was set
according to the NASCAR rule book. Hossfeld, who has finished no
worse than fourth in each of the season’s first four races, will
lead the field of 38 cars down the front stretch at the “Magic Mile”
on Saturday. Hossfeld will be joined in the front row by Ted
Christopher, whose nine wins at New Hampshire are a track record.
Rain delayed scheduled practice sessions Thursday afternoon, but
the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour was able to get on the track for
nearly half an hour. During that window, Ed Flemke Jr. registered
the fastest time at 30.008 seconds (126.926 mph).
Green flag for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour New England 100 is
set for Saturday at approximately 1 p.m. That race will be followed
by the NASCAR Nationwide Series Camping World RV Sales 200. For
