NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Payouts Rising In 2022

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — In the course of a 14-race season that concluded with the crowning of a three-time series champion, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour distributed nearly $1,325,000 to competitors during the 2021 season.

The payout number will rise in 2022.

With FloRacing on board as the new streaming home of all NASCAR Roots properties, the Whelen Modified Tour will see a $10,000 per-race enhancement in 2022 payouts.

Additionally, at each event, the Sunoco “Rookie of the Race” will be awarded $625 as the highest finishing eligible 2022 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Rookie of the Year candidate.

In 2021, every race winner earned a minimum of $10,000.

“We have great partners in both our tracks and series sponsors who contribute to the health of the series,” said Jimmy Wilson, senior director of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. “The addition of the FloRacing purse supplement and the Sunoco Rookie of the Race award gives our drivers even more to race for each event.”

New for 2022, the FloRacing awards breakdown on a per-race basis is as follows: $1,500 for first, $1,000 for second, $900 for third, $800 for fourth, $700 for fifth, $600 for sixth, $500 for seventh-10th, $300 for 11th-15th and $200 for 16th-20th.

The $625 Sunoco “Rookie of the Race” award brings the per-race qualifying and special awards total to $7,675, up from $7,050 per race in special awards last season.

The Sunoco “Rookie of the Race” award in 2022 will add to the existing list of special awards for each Whelen Modified Tour event. The list includes the Whelen Winner of the Race award ($3,500), the Jostens Half Way Leader award ($400), the Hoosier Lap Leader award ($600), the Hoosier Most Improved award ($500), the Hoosier Hard Charger award ($500), the Sunoco SPEC Engine award ($550) and the Mayhew Pole Award ($1,000).

Also returning to the Whelen Modified Tour in 2022 is the $10,000 year-end rookie payoff, which awards $5,000 to the highest finishing rookie in points, $3,000 to the second highest finishing rookie and $2,000 to the third highest finishing rookie.

The 2022 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season begins Saturday, Feb. 12 with the New Smyrna Visitors Bureau 200 #lovensb at Florida’s New Smyrna Speedway. The event, which will be shown live on FloRacing, features $115,800 in posted awards.

The first-place prize of $14,300 at New Smyrna does not include potential earnings from special awards.
