Many Touring Series Drivers Fill Field at All-Star LATICRETE Modified Thunder 150

Epping, NH — The pavement Modified division experienced a boom in popularity in the 1970’s, largely because of events known as “Open Shows”. They offered competitors who raced at numerous home tracks a chance to compete against each other for a purse larger than their normal weekly payout.
