 FLORENCE, S.C. – Tommy Baldwin Racing drivers Jack Baldwin and Luke Baldwin both had success Saturday night at Florence Motor Speedway. Jacked sealed the night by capturing the victory in the opener of the Carolina Crate Modified Series, driving the No. 7NY in a final lap dash battle to the finish. Luke made his Tour-Type Modified debut in the SMART Modified Tour Peanut Patch 99 with Sadler-Stanley Racing and scored a top-five finish. Jack qualified on the pole earlier in the day, inverting to fourth and running inside the top-five for the whole 62-lap Crate Modified race, before making the move for the win in the final corner. Luke posted the fastest lap time in his first official Tour Modified practice in the PSR No. 7VA for the Sadler-Stanley Racing group. The team, owned by former NASCAR driver Hermie Sadler and Attorney and Virginia State Senator Bill Stanley, is Luke’s official home for the full SMART Modified Tour season in 2024. He also qualified the car in third spot in time trials and started second after the redraw. “Excited to win another Crate Modified race, especially being able to get to Victory Lane at Florence,” Jack Baldwin said. “Slate (Myers) had a fast car tonight. I hate that it came down to him spinning, but I was as low as I could possibly go without hitting the inside wall. Florence is a fun track. We were able to ride a bit early then close a large gap over the final 30 laps to be in position to win. I can’t thank everyone on the TBR team and PSR enough.” Both Baldwin brothers attended Florence events with the help of their respective team members and PSR Chassis members, with Tommy Baldwin Jr. at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with Rick Ware Racing. “Super proud of everybody involved with this team for what we accomplished at Florence,” Luke Baldwin said. “We showed race winning speed all the way through the day, and if a few things went my way, we may have had a shot at winning it. We had a solid second-place run going until a late race restart where I made some mistakes and fell to fifth. Nothing to hang our heads about. Huge thanks to all the guys at Sadler-Stanley Racing, Bill Stanley, Hermie Sadler and PSR Products. The car was a rocket ship and they made my job easy. Also, thanks to Pace-O-Matic, The Stanley Law Group, and Mohawk Northeast for making it happen. Congrats to Carson Loftin on his first career win.” Next up for the Tommy Baldwin Racing team will be for Luke driving the No. 7VA for Sadler-Stanley Racing in the second SMART Modified Tour race of the season next Sunday, March 10 at Caraway Speedway. Jack Baldwin is currently slated to return to the seat during the summer in the SK Modifieds at Stafford Motor Speedway.

 MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) announced today that six-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Doug Coby will pilot the No. 7NY for select Tour events in 2024. The team will begin the season at New Smyrna Speedway for the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing and the Whelen Modified Tour opener on Saturday, February 10.
The team plans to run seven of the 16 Whelen Modified Tour events. TBR will compete at Richmond Raceway on Friday, March 29, Riverhead Raceway on May 18 and New Hampshire Motor Speedway as part of NASCAR’s National Series weekend on June 22. The combination will return to the track on Wednesday, August 14 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, Saturday, October 5 at North Wilkesboro Speedway and Saturday, October 26 at Martinsville Speedway. “Tommy has a deep racing history in the Modified community and when you drive for him, you know he’s going to bring fast cars to the track,” Coby said. “Having the opportunity to work with them again in 2024 to simply try to win races is something I’m really excited for.” Coby and Baldwin first paired together in 2022 and won events at Riverhead Raceway and Lee USA Speedway in their first two races together. They also picked up a victory at Langley Speedway that season – one that saw Tommy Baldwin Racing seal the Whelen Modified Tour owner’s championship with multiple different drivers. Coby drove the No. 7NY in 13 events last season with one victory and six top-five finishes. “Doug is a proven winner and champion and we’re happy he’s back with us for 2024,” Tommy Baldwin Jr. said. “We’ve selected a great list of events to compete on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour at some of their biggest races. We’re looking forward to having Doug back in the seat and it will be all about trying to get trophies.” The addition of Doug Coby to the 2024 Tommy Baldwin Racing lineup is yet another piece of what will be a busy season, including the likes of Luke Baldwin, Jack Baldwin, Bryan Narducci and Doug Coby.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Tommy Baldwin Racing announced today that Bryan Narducci will join the team for the 2024 season, competing part-time in an SK Modified at Stafford Motor Speedway. Narducci will split the ride with TBR driver Jack Baldwin, announced on Wednesday to run 11 events during the 2024 season. Narducci will fill out the remainder of the schedule in the SK Modified. The team will have assistance from Ken Barry with SPAFCO, a New England based PSR Chassis dealer, to make weekly racing possible. The entry will be a PSR Chassis. “Definitely really excited to join Tommy and the team for this opportunity,” Narducci said. “Tommy always brings the best of the best when it comes to equipment. I feel like teaming up with him to run a SK Modified could be a lethal combination.” Narducci needs no introduction in the Stafford short-track community. He’s a two-time NASCAR Division IV National champion, both coming during his tenure at the front of the field in the SK Light Modified field. Narducci has competed at Stafford in the SK Modifieds for multiple seasons and has multiple wins. He also made multiple Tour-Type Modified starts last year for Boehler Racing. “Bryan has been around the Tommy Baldwin Racing family for a few years now and we’re happy to get him in a car,” Tommy Baldwin Jr. said. “Bryan is a calculated driver who we know will get the most out of the car. We’re thankful to Ken Barry and his team for their assistance with our PSR Chassis ride and look forward to seeing Bryan and Jack compete for wins at Stafford in 2024.” For more information on Tommy Baldwin Racing, fans are encouraged to visit TommyBaldwinRacing.com and also follow TBR on social media for updates.  Part-Time Stafford Motor Speedway SK Modified Ride; Select Tour-Type Mod & 602 Modified Starts Planned
MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Tommy Baldwin Racing announced today plans for Jack Baldwin for the 2024 season. Jack will compete in a part-time schedule in the SK Modified division at Stafford Motor Speedway in Connecticut, planning for 11 events. He will drive a PSR Chassis - maintained by New England based PSR Chassis dealer SPAFCO - an operation led by veteran Ken Barry. Baldwin will also compete in his first Tour-Type Modified events in 2024. He will race in three SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic races and also the Islip 300 in November at Riverhead Raceway. All Tour-Type Modified events will come driving the historic 7NY. Jack’s SMART Modified Tour events will be at Goodyear on August 30, Carteret on August 31 and Caraway on September 7. “I’m ecstatic to make the move to Tour-Type Modifieds and also compete at Stafford in 2024,” Jack Baldwin said. “Stafford has what I think is the most competitive weekly racing division in the country. I got a taste of it last year, but I’m looking forward to building on what I learned and looking to get to Victory Lane this season. The SMART Modified Tour has a great lineup of drivers and competing with them will be a great learning experience.” Jack will open the season with 602 Modified events at Caraway Speedway on January 27 and Auburndale Speedway on February 8 and 9. He will also compete during the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing in the 602 Modified division with events on February 11, 12 and 14. “Jack’s ready for this move up,” Tommy Baldwin Jr. said. “He’s had success in 602 Modifieds and shown speed when he competed in the SK Modified at Stafford last year. We’re looking forward to seeing him make the jump and appreciate Ken and the SPAFCO team helping to make it possible.” For more information on Jack Baldwin, fans should follow his Jack Baldwin Racing page on Facebook and Instagram.

Bobby Labonte, Jonathan Cash & Luke Baldwin Make-Up Busy Schedule MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Sadler-Stanley Racing, an open-wheel modified team owned by former NASCAR driver and TV personality Hermie Sadler and Virginia Attorney and State Senator Bill Stanley, announced their 2024 driver lineup Tuesday. The 2000 NASCAR Cup Series champion, Bobby Labonte, will return to the team for three NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races and select SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic events. Labonte will compete in NASCAR action at Richmond (March 29), North Wilkesboro (October 5) and Martinsville (October 26). His full SMART Modified Tour schedule will be announced at a later date. Jonathan Cash will make the jump to full-time competition in the No. 16VA, racing for the title on the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic. Luke Baldwin, a rising Modified driver and son of former NASCAR Daytona 500 winning crew chief Tommy Baldwin Jr., will also run the 7VA full-time on the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic. Baldwin’s focus will be to race for the title, but also the Racing Electronics Rookie of the Year in his move to Tour-Type Modifieds in 2024. The team will continue to operate with PSR Chassis machines. PSR has won the last two SMART Modified Tour titles with Burt Myers and Caleb Heady. SS Racing co-owner Sadler, the 1993 NASCAR Xfinity Series Rookie of the Year, said the team is eager to provide opportunities to some new drivers. “It’s been really cool to watch drivers like Bobby Labonte and Ryan Newman win in our cars, but now the goal is to provide opportunities to deserving drivers that are trying to make a name for themselves,” Salder said. “Jonathan and Luke fit what we are looking for…. Pace-O-Matic works every day to provide opportunities to small businesses across the states they operate in… and they always fight for the little guy… our goals on the track this year will be to mirror what Pace-O-Matic believes on and off the track with our teams.” The SS Racing team has been in existence for two years and won multiple events. The team won two races in 2022, including a once-in-a-lifetime win in the return to North Wilkesboro Speedway with the SMART Modified Tour with NASCAR legend Ryan Newman driving. In 2023, the SS Racing returned to Victory Lane twice on the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic with Labonte piloting the No. 18VA to victory at Tri-County Speedway and Orange County Speedway. Co-owner Bill Stanley is eager to see the team hit the track for the first time at Florence Motor Speedway on March 2. The full SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic schedule includes 15 events spanning across multiple southern states. The team plans to run just under 20 events during the 2024 season. “The 2024 season is shaping up to be exciting for our team,” Bill Stanley, team co-owner, said. “Having young drivers like Jonathan Cash and Luke Baldwin running with Bobby Labonte for our Pace-O-Matic team is special. Racing with these PSR Products chassis machines at historic tracks will be a thrill to watch as we contend for wins and a championship in 2024.” Labonte needs no introduction - as the 200 NASCAR Cup Series champion - he’s a proven winner in multiple different disciplines. A part-time Modified schedule for him in 2024 leaves him with one goal: win. “I can’t thank Hermie and Bill and everybody at Sadler-Stanley Racing enough,” Labonte said. “We ended the year with two great wins and I’m looking forward to being part of the team again in 2024 for our limited schedule together. I really appreciate the support of Pace-O-Matic and their commitment to racing and the team. I’m also happy to continue to represent Cook Out in our events. I can’t wait to get started.” Cash, who owns P&P Speed Shop, a racing kart engine and maintenance shop, is excited for the opportunity to go full-time Modified racing. He competed in his first Modified event at Hickory Motor Speedway in 2022 for SS Racing and also competed in 2023. Cash is excited to continue to build on his experience-level in open-wheel, high-speed Modifieds. “I’m really excited to have the opportunity to drive for SS Racing and PSR Products in 2024,” Cash said. “I’m looking forward to trying to contend for the championship. The last two years, I have run a couple of Modified races each year and had fast race cars in all of them. I want to thank Pace-O-Matic, Hermie Sadler, Bill Stanley, PSR Products and their entire crew and everyone else involved in the opportunity.” Baldwin has quickly grown to a winner. He picked up multiple victories and the week-long championship at New Smyrna Speedway’s World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing in 2023. He also made his debut on the CARS Pro Late Model Tour, scoring an 11th-place finish in his debut. His jump to Tour-Type Modifieds is something he is excited to see happen. He will also compete part-time in 602 Modifieds for his family-owned team, beginning at New Smyrna in February. “Definitely couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity to join Sadler-Stanley Racing,” Baldwin said. “This team was on fire the last half of the year and I honestly can’t believe I’m joining them. I’m very excited to grow even closer with this team and build on our relationship. I am extremely grateful to be presented the opportunity and can’t wait to go out there and make the most of it. We’re fighting for Rookie of the Year, but personally, I want to get more than that. I want to win races and this team is more than capable of doing that.” The month of March will be busy for SS Racing, kicking off at Florence Motor Speedway on March 2, followed by Caraway Speedway on March 10, South Boston Speedway on March 23, Richmond Raceway (NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour) on March 29 and Tri-County Speedway on March 30.

Piloting Mayhew Tools, Tommy Baldwin Racing 7NY MILFORD, Conn. – The Doug Coby and Tommy Baldwin Racing pairing will be back together again this weekend. The Mayhew Tools No. 7NY will be on track on Saturday, September 30 at North Wilkesboro Speedway for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Brushy Mountain Powersports 150. The Whelen Modified Tour visit to the North Carolina oval will be the first in series history. The track was revived recently after many years of being closed. The NASCAR Cup Series All-Star event took place there in May and the Cup Series will be back in 2024 for another All-Star race. Coby is excited to get behind the wheel of a Modified at the track. The last time Coby and Baldwin raced together they sealed the Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup crown at Monadnock Speedway on September 9, with a top-five finish. The group has been part-time for the second half of the season since team owner Tommy Baldwin Jr. announced a cancer diagnosis. The part-time schedule allows Coby and Baldwin to have only one goal: winning the race. “I don’t think any of us truly know how long the cars might last or how hard we might have to go,” Coby said. “I think it will be a track position race. You pay attention to how races at places like Myrtle Beach and Lee USA played out… it’s going to be a chess-match to make sure you’re in position to have a chance to win.” “With Tommy going through his treatments, it’s definitely difficult for him to do some of the things he would have normally done before, but having a chance to bring the 7NY to North Wilkesboro with a chance to win there, especially with what this race signifies, it’s important,” Coby said. “The team is all looking forward to going there and racing.” NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour teams will have two practice sessions on Saturday, followed by Mayhew Tools qualifying at 5:15 p.m., and the green flag for 150 laps at 8 p.m. For those who will not be able to catch the action live, fans can watch on FloRacing.TV.

Fifth-Place Finish at Monadnock Speedway Captures Bonus Title WINCHESTER, N.H. – Doug Coby and Tommy Baldwin Racing returned to NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour competition on Saturday night at Monadnock Speedway and they were celebrating after 150 laps in New Hampshire. Coby finished fifth in the Winchester Fair 150 in the Mayhew Tools 7NY, but the finish was enough for the team to capture the second annual Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup championship crown. The Cup, which included three races at Monadnock Speedway, Lee USA Speedway and back at Monadnock on Saturday night, saw Coby grab three finishes inside the top-six, including a win at Monadnock in May. By winning the Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup, the team collected at least $5,000 in bonus awards. Coby returned to action Saturday for the first time since Thompson Speedway in August. Team owner Tommy Baldwin Jr. announced a cancer diagnosis and the team stepped back from full-time competition and missed the last two races. They couldn’t pass up returning to chase the Granite State Short Track Cup crown. “Just to be here with our family and Tommy battling cancer, I mean, he’s a warrior,” Coby said. “He told us from the beginning that he was going to fight through this and he’s been courageous enough to share his battle and everything on social media, which is uncommon. To be here as the Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup champions, it just means a lot. We’ve got a great group of guys and Tommy really wanted to be here to do this.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. – After two races off, Tommy Baldwin Racing announced today that the team will field a Mayhew Tools No. 7NY entry for Doug Coby in this Saturday’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour 150 at Monadnock Speedway. Coby and Baldwin enter the event leading the point standings for the Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup, which will conclude Saturday night. The Cup awards a bonus of $5,000 to the team that captures the most points over three events. Coby picked up the win in round one of the Cup at Monadnock back in May and finished sixth in the second race at Lee USA Speedway to enter this weekend in the lead. The team is also eligible for additional bonuses from the Cup, including a lap leader bonus from all three events combined and the best average finish over the three races. The team has the opportunity to collect over $6,400 in bonus money, plus any winnings collected for finishing position on Saturday. It made the decision to attend a no-brainer. Last month, Tommy Baldwin Jr. announced a diagnosis of cancer and is currently undergoing treatments. The team is not returning full-time on the Whelen Modified Tour for the remainder of the season, but will come together to chase the Cup crown at Monadnock. Baldwin is selling Baldwin Strong stickers on his website, TommyBaldwinRacing.com, and donating final proceeds to the Matheny School. His goal is to share awareness and have everyone know they are all in it together when fighting through health issues. “After winning at Monadnock in May and leading the Cup standings heading into Saturday, we really wanted to make this event happen,” team owner Tommy Baldwin Jr. said. “I’m thankful for everyone’s support through my announcement and treatments - it’s been incredible and our entire family couldn’t be more grateful. The team will be ready to roll into Monadnock to chase the Cup title, but also another win for Mayhew Tools and everyone involved with Doug and our team.” Coby has one goal in mind for Saturday: win. “We had a great car last time at Monadnock, it was dominant all day,” Coby said. “This will be a little bit of a different race being at night compared to the day time back in May. As far as Tommy wanting to have a car prepared and go to the track, it’s good for him to be able to have something different to focus on and he said he feels good enough to make it happen, which is great to hear. With the race now 150 laps, you will probably be able to go harder and really battle for spots earlier in the race. There will likely be some serious battling on restarts to keep or gain track position.” Saturday’s event schedule at Monadnock Speedway includes NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour practice from 2:55-3:55 p.m., followed by qualifying at 5:30 p.m. The estimated green flag time for the Winchester Fair 150 is set for 8 p.m. Tickets for the race are available in advance at JDVProductions.coom. The event will air live on FloRacing.TV for those who can’t make it to New Hampshire.
