 A busy three-race weekend for rising driver Luke Baldwin will bring him over 700 miles across the East Coast - nevermind over 400 laps on the track. Baldwin will compete in three different events at two different tracks - Martinsville Speedway and Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park - in both a Truck and a Modified.
Baldwin will drive three different cars in the three events. Friday, he will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at Martinsville with Thorsport Racing. After the race, he will make the trek north to Thompson Speedway for two Modified events on Saturday and Sunday. He will compete in the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series for the first time in his career on Saturday, driving the Ryan Preece Racing No. 40. On Sunday, he will return to the seat of the Tommy Baldwin Racing 7NY for the Icebreaker 150 with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. Baldwin won the pole and finished fourth in the opener of the Whelen Modified Tour season at New Smyrna on February 8. “It’s definitely a dream come true this weekend,” Baldwin said. “Martinsville is a place where I have some laps and it’s really special to race at a track that has a lot of history to try and establish my name in the NASCAR National Series. It’s a great team with Ford and Thorsport Racing, and a great opportunity that Mohawk Northeast and everyone involved is helping me do.” “I’m excited to get to work with the Preece family in the Tri-Track event - another group that has been close with my family for a long time. To be able to run Thompson with them and then the 7NY on Sunday with my dad and the TBR team… It's special. Thompson is a really cool track that has a lot of history, especially with my family.” Below are some times to note for each day of racing: Friday: Practice - 2:05-3 p.m., Qualifying - 3:10 p.m. - Race: 7:30 p.m. - Event live on FOX Sports 1 Saturday: Practice: 10 a.m., Qualifying: 12:30 p.m., Race: 5 p.m. - Event live on Racing America Sunday: Practice: 12:20-12:50 p.m. & 1:15-1:45 p.m., Qualifying: 3:30 p.m., Race: 4:30 p.m. - Event live on FloRacing For more information on Luke Baldwin, visit Luke Baldwin Racing on Facebook and follow Luke’s personal page on Instagram.

 For the third time in his SMART Modified Tour career, Luke Baldwin was in Victory Lane on Saturday evening at Anderson Motor Speedway. Baldwin won the Pace-O-Matic pole in qualifying with a track record time around the South Carolina oval. He followed it up by remaining near the front of the field for the entire 99-lap distance, saving his equipment until it mattered most.
Baldwin took the lead for the final time after a pit stop for a fresh tire and never looked back. The victory was his first of the season in the second race of the year for the defending series champion. Earlier in the week, Baldwin announced a part-time effort on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this season, with three events for Thorsport Racing. “It was a badass race car all day,” Baldwin, who was fastest in practice and qualifying and won the race, said. “These PSR Products Modifieds are unreal. It’s a pleasure to drive for Hermie Sadler and Bill Stanley and this entire SS Racing team. It’s really cool to bounce back from Florence and be back in Victory Lane.” Team driver Jonathan Cash also captured his second straight top-10 finish to open the year, finishing in 10th.

Special Charlie Jarzombek Scheme Planned With “Laps For Noelle” Decals on 7NY
Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) announced today a new event added to the schedule for Luke Baldwin for the 2024 season. Luke will pilot the historic Tommy Baldwin Racing No. 7NY Tour-Type Modified at Riverhead Raceway on Saturday, August 17, for the running of the Baldwin/Evans/Jarzombek 77 on Wall of Fame night. The paint scheme for this event - a “Charging” Charlie Jarzombek tribute scheme - will help support a special initiative through RaceForKids.com. TBR is helping to support RaceForKids.com and their important “Laps For Noelle” initiative they have ongoing. Noelle is a six-year-old who has been diagnosed with stage four osteosarcoma and there is a mass located on her left leg and multiple masses in her lungs. She is currently undergoing chemo and will have to have her femur bone removed. The Laps For Noelle decals will be on the quarter-panels and rear-panel of the 7NY for this event. At the end of the race, TBR will auction off the doors, quarter-panels and rear panels from the car. All of the money raised will be donated to help Noelle cover medical expenses. Tommy Baldwin Racing is also selling a special tribute t-shirt, with all proceeds also going to the cause for Noelle. RaceForKids.com, created by young rising driver Darren Krantz Jr., creates a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of the obstacles they face. “We are really appreciative of everything that Darren Krantz Jr. and the team at RaceForKids.com are doing to help Noelle and all children in need. Having a special Charlie Jarzombek scheme on the car and having it support Noelle’s journey – this will be a proud moment for all of short-track racing,” Tommy Baldwin Jr. said. “We hope everyone will help get behind the cause and buy a t-shirt and contribute to the auction for the doors and quarter panels, so we can donate as much as possible.” Prior to Riverhead, the Bugsy Stevens tribute scheme will return on the 7NY for one more upcoming event. The scheme will be in place for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on Wednesday, August 14, with six-time Tour champion Doug Coby behind the wheel. From there, the Tommy Baldwin Racing team will change the scheme to the Charlie Jarzombek special and roll to Riverhead on the 17th with Luke Baldwin.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Rising Modified competitor Luke Baldwin will make his NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour debut at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, June 22. Driving the Pace-O-Matic No. 7VA for Sadler-Stanley (SS) Racing, Baldwin will compete with NASCAR’s best during the only NASCAR National Series weekend of the New England racing season. Competing in the Mohegan Sun 100, Baldwin will get his first taste of drafting in a Modified at the ‘Magic Mile’ oval. He’s no stranger to racing Modifieds over the last few years - as a former 602 Modified champion at New Smyrna Speedway’s World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing in 2022 and already a Tour-Type Modified winner in a short time in 2024. Baldwin is excited to take his talent north to New Hampshire to compete on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. “New Hampshire is a dream come true for sure,” Luke Baldwin said. “Growing up, it was one of the coolest races to watch, so having the privilege to run this race is an incredible feeling. The Sadler-Stanley Racing team has a ton of momentum and I know they’ll bring a stout piece to New Hampshire. It wouldn't be possible without my mom and dad, Sadler-Stanley Racing, Pace-O-Matic, and PSR Products. I can’t thank them enough. I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity and I can’t wait to go have some fun.” Hermie Sadler from SS Racing agrees that Baldwin is ready for the challenge. “It was pretty evident to me early on this season that Luke has “it” for us,” Sadler said. “His ability to do things like adapt to our cars, more horsepower, new tracks, to get that extra speed for qualifying, knowing when to be aggressive and when to save… he is just mature beyond his years. Taking him to a track like New Hampshire was the logical next step for his development.” The Mohegan Sun 100 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway is set for Saturday, June 22. Practice and qualifying for race day will take place on Friday, June 21. The event will be live on FloRacing.TV when it takes the green flag around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.
