Justin Bonsignore To Compete in ARCA Pre-Race Test at Daytona

WADING RIVER, N.Y.. – Three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Justin Bonsignore will compete in the ARCA Menards Series pre-season test at Daytona International Speedway this weekend.

Bonsignore will drive a car prepared by Andy Hilenburg, the 1995 ARCA champion, who also has two Daytona ARCA wins to his credit. The cars are prepared by Fast Track High Performance Racing.

The pre-race test is in preparation for the upcoming ARCA Menards Series opener at Daytona during Speedweeks on Saturday, February 17. The weekend will also include the opener for the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500.

Seven different drivers have earned the right to take laps around Daytona via the “Road to Daytona” program. Invites include the two regional series that are part of the ARCA Menards Series platform – the three ASA-branded touring super late model series, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion, and the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series frontrunners. Although current 2023 champion for the Whelen Modified Tour Ron Silk isn’t making the trip, Bonsignore is filling the seat to take laps around one of the fastest and iconic tracks in the world.

The trip will be his first laps on the Daytona high banks of his career.

“Taking laps at Daytona is definitely something every race car driver dreams of when you start racing,” Bonsignore said. “Appreciate the opportunity given by NASCAR, ARCA, Andy, and his entire team to be able to get behind the wheel. Looking forward to soaking in the experience and showcasing the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour on this stage.”
