The Clash at Claremont 150, the 10th race of the 2023 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season and the final leg of the Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup, has been postponed as a result of a gloomy weather forecast for Saturday, July 29 at New Hampshire’s Claremont Motorsports Park.

A potential new date and time for the race will be announced at a later date.

Ron Silk leads the 2023 championship standings after nine races as the Modified Tour reaches its halfway point of the season. Justin Bonsignore is just eight points back from Silk in second.

Matt Hirschman, who won the inaugural Clash at Claremont last year, sits seventh in Modified Tour points having run seven of nine races.

The Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup will be awarded at the end of the Clash at Claremont 150.

The program, created by JDV Productions owner Josh Vanada to provide additional incentives to Modified Tour and local teams to compete in events at Claremont, Lee USA Speedway and Monadnock Speedway, will pay out more than $8,000.

Doug Coby leads the Cup standings with 87 points, and Hirschman is Coby’s closest pursuer with 83 points.

“I think it exceeded my expectations in year one and I think we’ve continued the momentum of drawing in the local racers into the field for the Tour,” Vanada said of the Cup. “I think it has been enormously successful. One of the things I want to look at in the future is how we are distributing the funds. We might look at distributing them a little bit more evenly throughout the field.

“I think it’s done exactly what we set out to do, which was draw in local teams. I think it’s also ignited a pretty passionate modified fan base in New Hampshire.”
