The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour , or WSMT for short, is a NASCAR stock car racing series that only races in the southeastern United States . The Whelen Southern Modified Tour has almost the same regulations as the Whelen Modified Tour operating in the northeastern United States .
history
The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour was founded in 2005 after the Southern Modified Auto Racing Teams (SMART) was dissolved as part of the dissolution of the American Speed Association , or ASA for short. The first season played in the series in 2005 was won by Junior Miller.
However, NASCAR had previously held Whelen Modified Races in the southeastern United States until 1985 . The racing calendar included races in North Wilkesboro , North Carolina , Martinsville , Virginia and Winston-Salem , North Carolina. Drivers from Virginia and North Carolina were regular participants in NASCAR Whelen Modified.
Currently, the Whelen Southern Modified Tour runs on the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol , Tennessee and the Atlanta Motor Speedway, among others . The series champion was allowed to take part in the Toyota All-Star Showdown .
