Results: Justin Bonsignore Scores 13th NASCAR Modified Tour Win At Thompson

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Justin Bonsignore winning a NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Thompson, Connecticut. Even when it looks in the beginning like Bonsignore doesn't have the car to win, like it did early in the going on Wednesday, Bonsignore and his Ken Massa Motorsports No. 51 team find a way to get the job done.

Bonsignore qualified sixth, fell to eighth, and then methodically worked his way up to third before letting his pit crew do the rest. Bonsignore's team gained him two spots and the lead on pit road, as they so often do, when the caution flag waved just before halfway. Once Bonsignore had the lead he was able to do the rest, holding off points leader Ron Silk for the victory.

The win on Wednesday night was Bonsignore's 13th at Thompson, which moved him into a tie for second on the all-time wins list at the track with Ted Christopher.

Winning Quote From Justin Bonsignore

"I just want to say I left the flag up there in turn one. That's where John Blewett was killed. I saw Doug Coby do that years ago and I've always wanted to do that and today is the day that we lost John all those years ago. He was the biggest badass there was, and if we can do anything to honor him that's pretty cool." - Justin Bonsignore
