2022 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Jon McKennedy returns for part-time schedule

Jon McKennedy, the 2022 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion, is returning to the series for a part-time schedule in 2024. Competing for his own team, McKennedy is tentatively scheduled to compete in at least five NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events this season. “We’re excited to get the ball rolling in our FURY race cars and go chase some trophies,” McKennedy said. “I feel this is a great opportunity for me to go out there and continue to show we can win races. We did have some other opportunities for rides, but felt this was the best route for this season. We have picked some of the higher profile events at my favorite tracks for the 2024 season and feel the competition is going to be stout at all of them.” McKennedy's 2024 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule will begin at New Hampshire's Monadnock Speedway on May 4, followed by events at Massachusetts' Seekonk Speedway (June 1), New Hampshire Motor Speedway (June 22), Monadnock (July 20) and Connecticut's Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park (Aug. 14). McKennedy, a two-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race winner, will make his 100th series start when the Tour returns to Seekonk on June 1.
