Justin Bonsignore Looks for Winning Gold in Islip 300 at Riverhead
HOLTSVILLE, N.Y. — Justin Bonsignore is ready for one more race to wrap the 2021 season.
Bonsignore will drive the No. 51 Kenneth Massa Motorsports Modified, prepared by Ryan Stone, in the prestigious Islip 300 at Riverhead Raceway on Saturday, November 13.
The combination of Bonsignore, Massa, Stone and the entire team is just under two months out from capturing the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship on the heels of two wins this season. In three appearances at Riverhead on the tour, Bonsignore finished third, third and second.
He’s hoping to advance on those positions and become the winner of the fifth annual Islip 300. The event honors the legacy of Islip Speedway and the history of Modified racing on Long Island, and Bonsignore would love to add another hometown win to his credit.
“Racing at Riverhead in front of the home track fans is always something we look forward to doing every year,” Bonsignore said. “We weren’t able to win a Whelen Modified Tour race there this year, but adding the prestigious Islip 300 to our list would be special for all of us. It’s a longer race with a lot of strategy involved, so hopefully we will play our cards right.”
Bonsignore and the team will take part in one practice session from 11-12 p.m., with time trials set to begin just after 1 p.m. The green flag for the Islip 300 is set for approximately 3:15 p.m., and will air live on RiverheadRaceway.TV for those who can’t make it to the track.
