New Smyrna Looks Ahead After Withstanding Hurricane Ian
Feb 2, 2023
The wait is nearly over for the 2023 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway. A total of 13 divisions of cars will take the track over the course of nine nights of racing on February 10-18. There will also be two events for touring series during the World Series, with the return of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour on February 11 and the first Speedweeks appearance for the ASA Southern Super Series on February 14.
Nearly 50 Tour-type Modifieds are currently entered for the World Series, continuing the incredible success of the division in recent years. Headliners on the entry list include World Series champions Jimmy Blewett, Matt Hirschman and Ron Silk, 2022 World Series race winner Craig Lutz and more.
There will be some variety between the Modified drivers who compete throughout the World Series and those who will only partake in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event, or vice versa. NASCAR has released an entry list for the Tour race on Saturday, February 11, which includes NWMT regulars such as Justin Bonsignore, Doug Coby, and defending series champion Jon McKennedy.
There will also be no shortage of Late Model competitors at the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. Currently, 22 Super Late Models are entered for the week, including two-time World Series champion Derek Griffith, All American 400 winners Casey Roderick and Matt Craig, 2022 World Series Pro Late Model champion Michael Hinde and more.
Full entry lists for every division competing in the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing can be viewed below.
