Matt Hirschman Dominates NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour At Seekonk Speedway

Matt Hirschman has won a bunch of times at the Massachusetts bullring of Seekonk Speedway, but Saturday's win was his most impressive yet. Hirschman won the pole to kick off his dominant Saturday night. The Northampton, Pennsylvania driver led every single one of the 150 laps run and finished the race with just four cars on the lead lap. The victory is the second of the season and second in a row for Hirschman. Hirschman is now the only driver to have won multiple races so far this season.

Winning Quote From Matt Hirschman

"Pretty dominant performance doing it from the pole. It's the first time we won a pole this year. I thought we would have had some by now. That put us out front and it's not a pit stop race, so as long as you have a car that can handle you can keep it out front. That's the best place to be. I believe this was a very big unknown for all the teams because of the pavement and the characteristics of the track changed. I think I'm going to like it. This has always been a good track for me, but not a great track. But now winning a Whelen Tour race here we've kind of won it all here." - Matt Hirschman
