NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT)
A s stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR in the Modified division. Previously the NASCAR Winston Modified Tour and NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series, the Modified division is NASCAR's oldest division, and its one of two open-wheeled divisions. NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events are mainly held in the Northeastern USA, but the 2007 and 2008 Tours have expanded to the Midwest with the addition of a race in Mansfield, Ohio.
The Whelen Southern Modified Tour, races in the Southeastern United States. The two tours race primarily on short oval paved tracks, but the NWMT also has made appearances at larger ovals and road courses. The two tours have a combined race in Martinsville, Virginia and Bristol, TN every year.
Following elimination of the Elite division, NASCAR will feature Modified drivers (driving Grand National cars) with the Grand National Division in the Toyota All-Star Showdown in the fall of 2007.
As part of NASCAR's plan to cut costs and unify rules among different tours in the same division, the two NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour divisions use identical rules.
