In addition to the series title sponsorship, Pace-O-Matic also returns as a sponsor for a NASCAR Hall of Famer competing with the SMART Mods, and two full-time drivers. “We, at Pace-O-Matic, are excited to announce our continued sponsorship of the SMART Modified Tour. Pace-O-Matic and Bobby Labonte are eager to continue their fast-paced success,” said Michael Pace, Chairman of Pace-O-Matic.
“By extending our racing family and welcoming Jonathan Cash and Luke Baldwin, we are enhancing the roster and providing an avenue for racers and the SMART Modified Tour program to grow and prosper its powerful community.
“At Pace-O-Matic, our commitment goes beyond the racetrack; it defines our dedication to supporting small businesses, investing in local communities, and fostering growth in the states where we operate,” continued Pace. “We take pride in contributing to the lives of the regions we serve, and our sponsorship of the SMART Modified Tour is a testament to our passion for expanding the horizons of both racing and community development.”
The recent 2023 racing season was the second consecutive year for Pace-O-Matic’s support of the SMART Modified Tour. In addition to fans gathering at each family friendly racing facility, Pace-O-Matic, and all supporters of the series, enjoy additional exposure from exclusive broadcasts of all events on FloRacing.
“We are honored to continue our relationship with Pace-O-Matic,” said Chris Williams, Series Director. “We take pride with Pace-O-Matic being one of SMART Modified racing’s strongest supporters. Pace-O-Matic cares about its drivers and teams, as well as the local small business owners throughout the region. Michael, Karmin, Paul, Gina and the whole team have been extremely supportive of our series and that resonates with our race fans”.
This year fans will be treated to 15 races at 13 different facilities in the tri-state region of North and South Carolina, as well as Virginia.

SMART Modified Tour
The SMART Modified Tour captures the essence of one of the most legendary forms of racing in America, pavement Modifieds. Born in 1988, these ground-pounding, 600-horsepower missiles for the SMART Tour are a must-see for any racing fan.
In 2020, Chris Williams brought SMART Modifieds back to prominence after a brief hiatus. Due to the overwhelming popularity from its fan base, a four-race schedule in its initial year has given birth to an adventurous 15-race schedule in 2024.
This year will mark the fourth full-season of SMART Modified Tour racing since its return. Many of Modified racing’s best drivers, from all over the country, will compete with the series, which visits 13 different racetracks in three different states in the Mid-Atlantic - North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
SMART Modifieds compete on grueling asphalt oval short tracks, embedded in quaint local communities, each spring, summer and fall.
