“We are sorry that it took a while for us to make this announcement,” said Modified Tour President Lou Long. “We could not release a date until after Lernerville Track Manager Gary Risch, Jr. returned from his extended duties in Florida during Speedweeks,” he explained. Risch was assisting Lernerville’s parent company, World Racing Group, present the DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park.

Although more Tour dates are still under negotiation, it currently appears that the series will open at Lernerville. Other confirmed dates for the Modified Tour are: Saturday, May 28, Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway; Saturday, June 19, Mercer Raceway Park; Sunday, July 4, Tri-City Speedway (Kodiak Memorial); Wednesday, July 7, Sharon Speedway (Lou Blaney Memorial); Saturday, September 18, Sharon Speedway (Russ King Memorial); and Saturday, October 2, Midway Speedway (Buckeye Fall Brawl).

The Modified Tour, Inc. racing series is a non-profit organization established in 1998 to give the V-8 Modifieds in the Western Pennsylvania area the opportunity to compete for higher purses and for a seasonal point fund. It has had great success at bringing the local cars together at tracks throughout the tri-state area and in expanding the profile for this exciting brand of motorsports.

“There was some confusion and concern when the track’s 2010 opener was switched from a Modified Tour event to a UFo Late Model race,” said Modified Tour President, Lou Long. “However, we continued negotiations with Vicki Emig and reached agreement on terms for a substitute date.”

The Modifieds have had a long tradition at Mercer Raceway Park. Although the track hosts weekly 358 Modified competition, there will be several Big Block Modified specials during 2010 at the Park. Nearby Sharon Speedway has agreed not to run the Big Blocks on June 19, so a banner field is expected.

The Modified Tour presented two programs at Mercer Raceway Park in 2009, with victories going to three-time Tour champion Rex King, Sr. and Jeremiah Shingledecker.

Rex King, Sr., claimed the largest share of the loot for his third Modified Tour point championship. Coming off season-ending surgery, few would have predicted that the veteran from Bristolville, OH would enjoy as much success as he did in 2009. However, King Sr. blasted from ninth to a heat race win on opening night at Mercer Raceway Park and it was Game ON! He cruised to an easy feature win that night, his first of two on the season. However, he had to overcome some gremlins in the engine room midseason and fight back to regain the points lead. Runner-up Del Rougeux, Jr. and third place Dave Murdick each took their turns leading the points chase while King Sr. had his slump. However, King Sr. scored a fifth place finish in the finale at Lernerville Speedway to nail down the title by a mere five points.

Jeremiah Shingledecker and Joe Crawford rounded out the top five in points. Interestingly, the top five in points also made up the top five in two feature races during the 2009 season, albeit in a slightly different finishing order.

Rex King, Jr., Brad Rapp, Gary Smoker, Mike Turner and Mark Frankhouser finished in positions six through ten. Each received a check for at least $1,000, along with their contingencies.

Special awards were also given for performance in the 2009 season. The Pennsylvania Army National Guard Heat Race Challenge award went to Rex King, Sr., who chalked up five heat race wins. The Hard Charger Award was Jeremiah Shingledecker, who passed the most cars in feature event competition. Ryan Hall claimed the Rookie of the Year title. And, the award that no driver wishes to receive, the Hard Luck award, was given to Dean Pearson.

“We were extremely proud to be able to reward the racers who support this series,” Baselj said. “The Board works very hard to raise this money and gather the product sponsors; just as the racers work very hard to put on tremendous programs for the fans,” he added. “I would also be remiss if I did not recognize the promoters who give us the opportunity to present these exciting races at their fine facilities.”

The award ceremonies were a bittersweet moment for Baselj, who acted as the master of ceremonies and host for the big event. Citing personal reasons relating to his health and business, Baselj made the emotional announcement that he was stepping down as the President of the Modified Tour. At a recent Board meeting, Vice President Lou Long was selected to succeed him.

“Ray left a big set of shoes for me to fill,” Long said. “He accomplished so much during his tenure and that is truly remarkable considering the challenges that he faced.” Baselj is a cancer survivor and he operates two businesses. “Fortunately, Ray is not leaving the Tour completely.” Long explained, “Ray agreed to remain as a Board member and he will be the Vice President and Director of Marketing.” “I will draw upon his experience and knowledge of the racing industry as we forge ahead.”

The Modified Tour is still working on the 2010 schedule. Currently, there are confirmed dates at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway (May 29), Tri-City Speedway (July 4) Sharon Speedway (July 7 and September 18) and Midway Speedway (October 2). The Modified Tour has received commitments from Lernerville Speedway and West Virginia Motor Speedway, but actual race dates have yet to be set. Negotiations are still in progress to secure additional races from several of the traditional venues that have supported the Modified Tour. Announcements will appear on the website, www.modifiedtourinc.com, as details are filled in.

The Modified Tour, Inc. would like to thank the 2010 series sponsors: Bicknell Racing Products; Hoosier Racing Tire Corp.; Sunoco Racing Fuel – Bazell Oil Co., Inc.; World Racing Group – DIRTcar; Approved Toilet Rentals, Inc.; Big Daddy’s Speed Center Inc.; Engles Trucking Services, Inc.; Hall’s Safety Equipment Corp.; Hometown Pharmacy; King Brothers; Priest Enterprises Inc.; Wedge Motorsports LLC; Behrent’s Speed Center Inc.; Bert Transmission; Bilstein Shocks – Fastline Performance; Fast Axle, LLC; Frankland Racing Supply; ISC Racers Tape; Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Inc.; Kirkey Racing Fabrication Inc.; Landrum Spring; McCool’s Signs and Graphics; Motorsports World; Oyler Action Photos; Pennsylvania Army National Guard; Pietragallo Gordon Alfano Bosick & Raspanti, LLP; Pro Shocks; RaceQuip; Ray’s Racing Collectibles; Red Bear Hand Cleaner; Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants; Slippery Rock Sportswear; Smokey’s; SpeedBear Fasteners; Turbo Start Batteries; Ultra-Shield Race Products; Valken Wheels; Winters Performance Products Inc.; and Wrisco Industries Inc.

The BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour will close the books on the 2009 season on Jnauary 30. The Banquet and Award Ceremonies will be held at Big Daddy’s Speed Center, 139 Gasper Road, Grove City, PA. Once again, the event will be a covered dish social, and guests are asked to bring an entre and a side dish or desert. “It will be a festive affair, as usual,” said President Ray Baselj. Guests are encouraged to call ahead to 724-458-6465 to ensure that sufficient tables and seating are in place. The fun will start at 6:00 p.m.

At the Banquet, the Modified Tour will distribute its point fund and contingency prizes to the top 25 drivers. “Desite the turbulent economy and despite losing four races to inclement weather, we finished the year stronger than ever,” Baselj reported to the Board. “The tracks, our sponsors and our Board stepped up to make sure that there would be no diminution in the payoff to our loyal competitors,” he added. Rex King, Sr. will take home the lion’s share, of course, in recognition of his third Modified Tour championship.

Baselj apologized to the Board for getting a bit behind in formulating the 2010 schedule. “By the end of December last year, we had our schedule done; but this year my health slowed me down,” he explained. However, while in a wheelchair recovering from off-season hip surgery, Baselj was working the crowd at the annual Parts Peddler show in Syracuse and he has been burning up the phone lines, all on behalf of the Nodified Tour. “I really need to thank Lou Long, Bill Bauer and Rick Hall for jumping in to help me with the 2010 schedule,” he said.

The Board was briefed on the status of the 2010 schedule. “We have confirmed race dates for Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway (May 29), Sharon Speedway (September 18) and Tri-City Speedway (July 4), and other dates are still in negotiation with each of those tracks,” Baselj said. “Gary Risch, Jr. (Track Manager at Lernerville Speedway) has assured me that there will be at least one Tour stop at the Action Track, and we are working toward another program,” he added. Race dates for Lernerville will be confirmed after Risch returns from the DIRTcar Nationals in February. Baselj informed the Board that a return engagement to Expo Speedway is anticipated, but the race date must be approved by the Trumbull County Fair Board and that will not occur until about a month before the race.

Baselj also reported to the Board on the loss of two anticipated race dates. Mercer Raceway Park changed its opening event from the Modified Tour to a UFo Late Model program. However, efforts are still underway to secure a Modified Tour date later in the Park’s 2010 season. Eriez Speedway declined to renew its place on the Modified Tour schedule, citing the difficult economy and a plan to cut back on the number of special events the track will hold in 2010. “Eriez remains interested in the Modified Tour and, hopefully, it can return to the fold in 2011,” Baselj noted.

“We also expect to make some exciting announcements about new programs at new venues and we hope that the pieces will fall into place by the time the Banquet rolls around so that a formal release can be made.”

Rougeux was proud of the large belt buckle trophy awarded for his win. “I have a nephew that rides bulls in Colorado and he always wins those big belt buckles,” Rougeux said. “I decided that I was going to get one of my own today.”

Rex King, Sr. entered the two-day event just ten points ahead of Rougeux and Dave Murdick. Rougeux was seeking his first Mod Tour title and Murdick his second. Through the heat races, they each picked up a point on King, a former two-time champ. While Rougeux came away with the $2,000 win, King was able to keep him within his sights over the twenty-five lap distance. The fifth place finish gave King Sr. enough points to preserve his lead in the seasonal championship.

Mark Frankhouser and Brian Swartzlander led the twenty-one car field to the first green flag for a Stampede feature event. Frankhouser’s potent small block fired first, but Swartzlander used his bigger powerplant to pull out to the lead coming off turn two. Rougeux followed him into second. King Sr. raced into fourth on the opening lap, followed by Brad Rapp, J.R. McGinley, Joe Crawford and Mike Turner.

Rougeux kept the pressure on Swartzlander through the early laps of the race. He swept past the first three-time champion coming off turn two and was scored as the leader on lap 4. Although Rougeux would lead the rest of the way, he had to fight off some stiff challenges for the win.

A caution on lap 13 for Dave Reges allowed Jeremiah Shingledecker to take his first shot at the leader. Shingldecker disposed of a lapped car on the restart and pressed Rougeux for the lead. The two battled side-by side for the next four laps until the action was halted for a shunt involving Jeff Miller and McGinley in turn four.

The restart put Shingledecker on the inside, his preferred line. He fired first and led Rougeux coming down to the start-finish line. Rougeux gained momentum as the cars raced down the frontstretch and he led into the first corner. Shingledecker remained close. Behind them, Crawford, King Sr., and Swartzlander battled for positions.

The surprise, however, was the strong performance put forth by New Yorker Alan Johnson in the 777 usually driven by Kevin Bolland. Johnson started in position 20 after having a mechanical problem in his heat race Saturday. Johnson methodically worked his way through the field using the bottom line on the hard slick speedway. “There was some bite down there at the start,” Johnson said, “but it went away pretty quick.” The lap 17 restart put him on the outside, and the crowd had to wonder whether that would signal the end of the charge for A.J. Slideways. Johnson, however, said that he was fortunate to be on the outside for those final restarts. “We were lucky to be up high on those restarts, we picked up a few positions.”

Rougeux continued to maintain a slight margin over Shingledecker and Crawford as the laps clicked off. King Sr. held onto fourth, but Johnson passed Swartzlander to reach the top five with five to go.

Rougeux got a bit of a scare when Jeff Miller spun in turn four with two laps to go. Miller did a 360 and kept the car moving, but Rougeux was closing fast. Rougeux snuck by and used the pick to open a little cushion on Shingledecker. “I got worried when I saw that lapped car spin in front of me,” Rougeux said. “Today, I had a good enough car that I was able to drive right around him.”

Things got a little confusing when the field came down for what should have been the white flag. The flagman displayed the two lap sign instead. As the leader raced into turn one, rookie Ryan Hall spun coming off the second turn. Under track scoring rules, the final two circuits must be completed under the green, so the caution redeemed the flagman and set up a two-lap shootout for the win.

Once again, Rougeux lined up on the outside and Shingledecker to the inside. Shingledecker got another good start, but Rougeux rallied to maintain his lead as the pair entered the first corner. But, to the surprise of all, Johnson shot to the top of the track again and he was pressing them both for the win.

The threesome battled hard over the final two laps, with less than a car length separating them as they raced through turns three and four to the checkers.

Rougeux was now in the middle of the track as the leaders came off the final turn. He held on for the win, followed closely by Johnson on the outside and Shingledecker on his inside flank. “Del pinched down on me,” Shingledecker said. “I was surprised that Johnson didn’t get by us both.”

Crawford crossed the line in fourth, followed by King Sr. Rounding out the top ten were Swartzlander, Murdick, Rapp, Turner and Rex King, Jr.

“Today was a guessing game,” the happy winner said. “I was watching the track during that stock car race and came back and told the guys that we had a few changes to make.” Shingledecker agreed. “We should have made a few more changes. But it definitely was a good race.”

Heats were won by Brian Swartzlander and Brad Rapp.

There was no B Main.

The Red Bear Hand Cleaner “Clean Move of the Race Award” was conferred on Alan Johnson for his steady climb through the field.

The next BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour event will be the 3rd Annual High Performance Swap Meet and Flea Market, on October 31, 2009, at Mercer Raceway Park.
