North Wilkesboro Speedway | CARS Tour | NASCAR

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is set to open NASCAR’s All-Star Race day on Sunday at North Wilkesboro Speedway, and NASCAR’s oldest division is bringing a stacked entry list for their 150-lap race. 

Headlining the entry list is the four-time and defending NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion, Justin Bonsignore. The Holtsville, New York driver is the defending winner of this race, as he put in an absolutely dominating performance last October. Bonsignore led 130 of the 150 laps and won by 6.473 seconds. He lapped all the way up to fifth-place too, all the while telling his competitors with one race left on the calendar that he was going to win the championship no matter what. 

But after two races in 2025, Bonsignore’s season has not gotten started the way he would have hoped. He rebounded from two laps down to finish third at New Smyrna, but late-race contact on pit road and a bad restart at Thompson left him with a fifth-place finish. Is a third and a fifth in two races bad? No, but it’s still beyond the norm for the 45-time race winner. But heading to North Wilkesboro after last October’s dominating race might be exactly what Bonsignore and his Ken Massa Motorsports team led by crew chief Ryan Stone needs.

A fun addition to the entry list this week is a past winner of the NASCAR All-Star race in one of Modified racing’s most historic race cars. Ryan Newman, the winner of the 2002 All-Star race, then known as “The Winston,” will pilot the legendary No. v4 “Mystic Missile” Modified in place of Tim Connolly, who is recovering from surgery. Newman took the victory in 2022’s first Modified race during the “Racetrack Revival” week of festivities. He also finished 13th in last October’s race at North Wilkesboro driving Gary Putnam’s No. 77.

Speaking of Putnam’s No. 77, that car will be driven on Sunday by former NASCAR Cup Series driver and former NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race winner, Corey LaJoie. Sunday’s race will be LaJoie’s first NWMT start in nearly two years. LaJoie’s last race came at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the summer of 2023 where he finished seventh. His previous Modified start before that race came at Martinsville Speedway at the end of the 2022 season, which ended with LaJoie celebrating in victory lane.

The driver who finished second in this race last year, albeit a distant second, was Northampton, Pennsylvania’s Matt Hirschman. Hirschman is back on the entry list this weekend and is looking for his second victory at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Hirschman won this race two years ago on the old pavement at the end of 2023.

Speaking of Northampton, Pennsylvania, Hirschman’s neighbor, Austin Beers finished one spot behind Hirschman in this race last year. Beers led four laps in last year’s race. Beers has also won the pole for this race each year it has been held so far.

Lastly, the current points leader, Patrick Emerling, has been on fire to start off 2025. He dominated much of the World Series of Asphalt at New Smyrna Speedway, he scored the season-opening NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race also at New Smyrna after starting dead last, and rebounded from a pit road mistake to finish second at Thompson. Emerling was decent at North Wilkesboro last year, finishing a distant fourth behind Bonsignore, Hirschman, and Beers.

The entire entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour “FaithFest Evangelistic Ministries 150” at North Wilkesboro Speedway can be found below.

Sunday’s race can be seen live on FloRacing as part of the FloRacing subscription, as can all NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races all season long. Fans can subscribe to FloRacing by clicking here.

NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour At North Wilkesboro Entry List

This weekend’s NASCAR Cup All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway will see a different driver in the No. 5 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet for practice and qualifying sessions.

Justin Allgaier, who drives for JR Motorsports in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, will step in for Kyle Larson as the former NASCAR Cup champ will be at Indianapolis Motor Speedway preparing to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 as part of his Double attempt — racing the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day May 25.

Allgaier’s role extends beyond practice and qualifying, too, as he’ll also be the standby driver for May 18’s All-Star Race and May 25’s Coca-Cola 600.

Last year, Allgaier stepped up to start the Coca-Cola 600 in the No. 5 car when weather disrupted Larson’s Double attempt. Allgaier started 10th and finished 13th in the Coke 600 that only lasted 249 of 400 laps because of rainy weather.

“We’re fortunate to have Justin and we appreciate him stepping in to help,” said Cliff Daniels, crew chief for the No. 5 team. “He and Kyle are very similar in size, so there’s a lot in the cockpit that’s common between the two.

“He’s had some time in the simulator driving the track and he did the wheel-force test there a year ago, so he’s got some experience in the Cup car at North Wilkesboro,” Daniels added. “We’re looking to put in a solid practice and make sure the car drives good.”

Practice for the All-Star Race is scheduled for Friday at 5:05 p.m., with qualifying for heat races at 7:05 p.m. Since Larson won’t be available for qualifying, he’ll start at the tail-end of the field in Sunday’s main event. .

“I think no matter what there’s going to be a general progression of balance from Friday through Sunday,” Daniels said. “The track is going to take more rubber. Friday, the groove is going to be a bit more narrow and Sunday I think it’s going to open up a bit. So, there’s still some changes regardless of Justin or Kyle that we would plan to progress through throughout the weekend.

“At the end of the day, I just want to make sure Justin is comfortable in what he feels and he, of course, trusts the feedback he’s going to give us. If there’s something he can provide to us to make the car faster, we’re going to listen. We’re going to do those little things and then we’re going to kind of stick to a little bit of what we think the track is going to evolve through, throughout the weekend.”

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A bill moving through the North Carolina General Assembly could limit the power of homeowners associations across the state. 

Senate Bill 378 passed the state Senate 47-0 last week and now heads to the House for consideration. 

If approved, the bill would place a cap on HOA fines, bar foreclosures over unpaid HOA fines, and ban HOAs from fining people who run home businesses like music lessons or tutoring services.  

Charles Williams with NC Citizens for HOA Reform says the state still has a long way to go, but this is a step in the right direction.  

“There is not a single agency in this state that has oversight of the HOA industry. So, if you have a problem, there is really no place as a homeowner for you to go,” he explained. 

Williams says North Carolina has some of the weakest HOA laws in the country.  

For more than a decade, similar bills have been introduced in the NC House and Senate, but none of them have become law.  

“My counterpart on the other side of the issue, they’ve got some really good attorneys, they’ve got some really deep pockets, and they have some good lobbyists,” Williams noted. 

One such bill is House Bill 444, sponsored by representative Frank Iler of Brunswick County. It would have placed several regulations on HOAs, but missed a key deadline to pass the house. 

Iler says he’s yet to read all of SB 378, but hopes to add parts of his bill to it.   

“I just got to get my checklist out of what all needs to be in there and then, of course, we can amend it,” he said. 

Iler—who has sponsored other HOA legislation in the past—says the issue isn’t about HOAs as a whole, just the bad actors.  

“We got 2,000 municipalities, 14,000 HOAs. If 5% are not happy, that’s 700,” Iler noted. “So, that’s still a big number, and the letters and emails just keep coming in.” 

Williams agrees, saying responsible HOAs have nothing to fear. 

“I mean if you’re a well-run HOA doing everything the way you should do it, this bill only supports you,” he said. 

The bill passed first reading in the house last week and will now wait in committee until it’s brought up for a vote.
