Three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Justin Bonsignore is not only racing in Saturday’s Mohegan Sun 100 – of which he is the defending winner – but he is also making his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut in the SciAps 200 piloting the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
The 36-year-old star has made 25 Modified Tour starts at New Hampshire over the past 14 years. In those 25 races, he has two wins in points-paying events and one in a non-points race, along with 10 top-five finishes.
Bonsignore’s most recent New Hampshire win came last July where he outdueled defending series champion, Ron Silk, and six-time Tour champion Doug Coby. The Holtsville, New York native is one win away from tying Ted Christopher for third on the all-time Modified Tour wins list.
Driving the No. 51 for team owner Ken Massa, Bonsignore has one win, five top-five, and six top-10 finishes in 2024. He currently sits second in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour point standings, 16 points behind Ron Silk.
