Newman Perfect In Thunder Valley

Makes It 2-for-2 In Whelen Modified Races With Bristol Win

Bristol, TN — Ryan Newman continued his winning ways in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour with a victory in the UNOH Perfect Storm 150 at Bristol Motor Speedway Wednesday.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver held off a late charge from seven-time tour champion Mike Stefanik over the closing laps to secure his second win of the season. Newman also won at New Hampshire Motor Speedway driving the Modified owned by Kevin Manion.

James Civali was the top NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour driver in the annual combination race in third place overall. Bobby Santos and Todd Szegedy rounded out the top five.

Rookie Justin Bonsignore, who won his first career Coors Light Pole Award earlier in the day, finished sixth, followed by Dale Quarterley, Eric Goodale, Ryan Preece and Erick Rudolph.

Ted Christopher dominated much of the event before losing the lead to Stefanik on Lap 125 and pulling off the track suddenly on Lap 140 while running third. He finished 26th, nine laps down, and lost the points lead to Santos. LW Miller also lost the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour points lead to Civali by finishing 29th overall, 39 laps down.
