Martinsville, VA -- Playing skill games is what Pace-O-Matic is all about. Add that, with the skill it takes to play the game on the SMART Modified Tour, and you have a perfect combination. 

Now, the two will be paired for a longer period of time as series officials announce a multi-year extension between the SMART Modified Tour and Pace-O-Matic.

In addition to the series title sponsorship, Pace-O-Matic also returns as a sponsor for a NASCAR Hall of Famer competing with the SMART Mods, and two full-time drivers.

“We, at Pace-O-Matic, are excited to announce our continued sponsorship of the SMART Modified Tour. Pace-O-Matic and Bobby Labonte are eager to continue their fast-paced success,” said Michael Pace, Chairman of Pace-O-Matic. 

“By extending our racing family and welcoming Jonathan Cash and Luke Baldwin, we are enhancing the roster and providing an avenue for racers and the SMART Modified Tour program to grow and prosper its powerful community.

“At Pace-O-Matic, our commitment goes beyond the racetrack; it defines our dedication to supporting small businesses, investing in local communities, and fostering growth in the states where we operate,” continued Pace. “We take pride in contributing to the lives of the regions we serve, and our sponsorship of the SMART Modified Tour is a testament to our passion for expanding the horizons of both racing and community development.”
