WARRIOR 100 AT CARAWAY POSTPONED TO MARCH 25 FOR SMART MODS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Timmonsville, SC (March 9, 2023) - The second race of the 2023 SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic season, the Warrior 100 at Caraway Speedway in Sophia, NC, has been postponed to Saturday, March 25. The speedway made the decision on Friday evening due “to the strong threat of inclement weather” in the region.
“The weather forecast for Sunday has been steady at 75% to 90% chance of rain with temperatures in the mid-40’s,” said Randy Myers, Competition Director for Caraway Speedway. “With rain chances that high and with cold temps forecast, we couldn’t ask teams to travel 6 to 8 hours only to send them home without a race. It is the right decision for everyone.”
Fortunately the event will only be postponed by two weeks. More details on the schedule for Saturday, March 25th will be released soon.
Nearly 30 Modifieds are expected to compete in the Warrior 100 at Caraway Speedway. The race is part of the Dogwood 250 event at Caraway, which will also feature Late Models, 602 Modifieds, Legend Cars and Bandoleros. For more information regarding the event please visit www.carawayspeedway.com
The next event for the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic will be Saturday, March 18 with the Mod Squad Nationals at Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park in Coeburn, VA. Racing is scheduled to get underway at 3pm ET. To purchase tickets online, please visit www.lonesomepinemp.com

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 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 14-race schedule in 2023.
This year will mark the third full-season of SMART Modified Tour racing. 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.
