Surf, Sun & Speed Tailgate, Mr. Rooter Kids’ Club, Autograph Session, and Star-Studded 30+-Car Field Highlight Event
Following a rain postponement in May, the Monaco Modified Series is set to return to action on Saturday, June 13, as the series heads to the historic New London-Waterford Speedbowl for Monaco Modified Night.
The event, originally scheduled for May 23, was postponed due to weather and has been rescheduled for what promises to be one of the season’s most exciting nights. Saturday’s race marks the first of two Monaco Modified Series appearances at the shoreline oval in 2026 and will feature a stacked field of 30+ of the Northeast’s top modified talent.
Fans attending Monaco Modified Night will enjoy far more than just racing action. The popular Surf, Sun & Speed Tailgate, presented in partnership with Stateside Vodka’s Surfside and Super Lyte brands and Hummel Bros. Hot Dogs, and The Tea Kettle Restaurant, will take place on the midway from 4-7 PM. The tailgate is free for all general admission ticket holders and includes product giveaways and sampling (21+), complimentary Hummel Bros. Hot Dogs while supplies last, music, cornhole, and other family-friendly activities.
Young fans can also take part in the Monaco Modified Kids’ Club presented by Mr. Rooter, which will be open from 4:30-6:30 PM on the midway. This week’s featured activity will be painting wooden race cars, and participation is free for all registered Kids’ Club members. Click here to sign your kids up today!
Fans will also have the opportunity to meet their favorite drivers during a pre-race autograph session on the midway prior to feature racing action.
On the track, championship battles are already beginning to take shape as drivers chase the series’ newly introduced $50,000 season-ending point fund presented by USNEPower and Union Insurance Group.
Entering Saturday’s event, the top five drivers currently occupying the USNEPower Energizer Zone — which awards a special $2,000 bonus to the driver who remains inside the top five in points the longest throughout the season — are:
- Jon McKennedy
- Michael Christopher Jr.
- Patrick Emerling
- Jake Johnson
- Ronnie Williams
With championship implications already building, a deep field of competitors, and a packed lineup of fan activities, Saturday’s event promises to deliver one of the most exciting nights of the season at the Speedbowl.
