2015 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour

Last updated October 25, 2024

The 2015 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour was the thirty-first season of the Whelen Modified Tour (WMT). It began with the Icebreaker 150 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on April 12 and concluded at the same venue with the Sunoco World Series 150 on October 18.^[1]

Defending champion Doug Coby won his third series title, and as a result, became the first driver since Tony Hirschman Jr. to win successive Whelen Modified Tour championships. Coby was the season's most prolific winner – with seven victories – including the final three races which allowed him to overhaul Ryan Preece in the standings, with Coby ultimately prevailing by eleven points after entering the final race tied on points with Preece. Preece was a four-time race winner, and finished all but one race inside the top-ten placings. Just like Preece, Woody Pitkat recorded fourteen top-ten finishes out of fifteen starts – winning at Stafford along with the non-championship Shootout at New Hampshire – as he finished third in points, two down on Preece and thirteen behind Coby. The only other drivers to win races during the season were Todd Szegedy at New Hampshire and Justin Bonsignore, who swept both races at his local track, Riverhead Raceway.

Notes

1 2 3 At the Bush's Beans 150 at Bristol, some WMT and WSMT drivers had to change numbers to avoid clashing with the other Modified Tour championship. WMT drivers who had to change numbers: Todd Szegedy drove car number 41, instead of his regular car number 4, Ron Silk drove car number 05, instead of his regular car number 15 and Joe Ryan Osborne drove car number 19, instead of his regular car number 79.
↑ At the F. W. Webb 100 Woody Pitkat drove with car number 38 instead of his regular 88 as a tribute to NASCAR Hall of Fame-elect Jerry Cook.

[Bristol-2] 1 2 3 At the Bush's Beans 150 at Bristol, some WMT and WSMT drivers had to change numbers to avoid clashing with the other Modified Tour championship. WMT drivers who had to change numbers: Todd Szegedy drove car number 41, instead of his regular car number 4, Ron Silk drove car number 05, instead of his regular car number 15 and Joe Ryan Osborne drove car number 19, instead of his regular car number 79.

[Pitkat-6] At the F. W. Webb 100 Woody Pitkat drove with car number 38 instead of his regular 88 as a tribute to NASCAR Hall of Fame-elect Jerry Cook.

[10] The Riverhead Hoosier Tire East 200 was originally scheduled for June 27, but was postponed to June 28 due to heavy rain.^[7]

[11] The Bush's Beans 150 was held as a combined event, with competitors from the Whelen Modified Tour competing along with competitors for the Whelen Southern Modified Tour. The race was run with a series-based point distribution, where drivers received points and statistical credit for their finish relative to other drivers in their series, not to the whole field in general.
