NASCAR Ready to Break the Ice this Wednesday, April 16

Thompson, CT — After rain has wreaked havoc on early season plans for Thompson Speedway, the rest of the ice is ready to break this Wednesday, April 16. The second portion of the planned 51st Icebreaker weekend is finally set to go green this Wednesday at 5:15pm with the Thompson Sunoco Modifieds, Late Models, SK Light Modifieds and Street Stocks set to join the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Icebreaker 150 presented by FloSports.com highlighting the night!

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour continues their 40th anniversary season at the place it all started back in 1985. Thompson Speedway held the inaugural NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event with the Icebreaker 40 years ago and comes home once again for three unique events in 2025, starting with the Icebreaker 150 presented by FloSports.com. The 150-lap main event is sure to be the latest Big-T showdown between Justin Bonsignore, Patrick Emerling and Ron Silk while fan-favorites Eric Goodale, Austin Beers, Jon McKennedy and Woody Pitkat will be among those looking to nab the brass ring!
