              There were eighteen drivers with perfect attendance in 2025 and they received a $500 bonus for competing at all nine events that were run. We also had four events that rained out during the season. The drivers that had perfect attendance included: Rex King, Jr., Tyler Willard, Garrett Krummer, Brad Rapp, Jeremiah Shingledecker, Ayden Cipriano, Dave Murdick, Justin Shea, Colton Walters, Rick Regalski, Jr., Mike Kinney, Rody Beltz, Jeff Walters, Cameron Miller, Shawn Kozar, Steve Barr, Steve Slater and Tom Holden.

Other feature winners during the 2025 season include Mat Williamson – Lernerville Speedway; and Dalton Slack – Both Lernerville Speedway and at Sharon Speedway for the Lou and Katie Blaney Memorial.

Other special awards that were given out included the Legacy Award given to the driver who has competed with us from the beginning of 1998 and is still racing with us today. That award went to Rodney Beltz.

The RKR Rookie of the Year Award which included $1,000 went to Justin Shea. We had two drivers eligible for this award, including Cameron Miller, with both drivers’ having perfect attendance and by the way the Modified Tour decided who was given the award any driver that runs over three races in a prior year is not eligible for this award. Justin Shea ran two events in 2024 at Tri City and Lernerville Speedways, so he was chosen as the Rookie of the Year due to finishing higher in the point standings than Cameron.                   Another special award, “The Fan Engagement Award” presented by our announcer and board member, Garrett and Jessica Mohrbacher was given to the driver that participated in meet and greets at the tracks and were willing to give their time for the fans and sponsors. This award was presented to Garrett Krummert.

       The 2026 Schedule is coming together nicely and will be posted soon, so please look for that on our Facebook page at Brp Mod Tour or on our website at www.themodifiedtourinc.org in the next week or so.
