In the third race of the 2013 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season, Justin Bonsignore and M3 Technology Racing notched a strong showing, securing second place behind pole and race winner Bobby Santos in Stafford, CT this weekend. Building off of an eight place finish two weeks ago in Thompson, Justin continued to gain momentum at this week’s Stafford Spring Sizzler. Click here for a post race interview, courtesy of NASCAR.

M3 Racing and driver Justin Bonsignore captured their first victory of the season tonight in the Whitcomb 200 at Monadnock Speedway in Winchester New Hampshire. Starting on the outside pole, Justin took the lead on lap 17 and held on the rest of the way for his third career victory on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.

The Sunshine State has been kind to the M3 Racing Team and driver Justin Bonsignore. After a strong start in the UNOH Battle at the Beach at Daytona International Speedway, mechanical issues forced the team out of the top 5 and out of the race with just a few laps left to run. Following the Tour Race, the team moved on to New Smyrna Speedway, taking 10th place in the first race at that track.

From NASCAR.com:

WINCHESTER, N.H. — Justin Bonsignore made the late pass pay off as he drove to the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour victory in the O’Reilly 200 at Monadnock Speedway Saturday night.

Bonsignore powered underneath Ryan Preece on Lap 175 en route to the win. Preece had started second and led all but one lap to that point.

It was the fifth career win for the Holtsville, New York, driver and second straight at Monadnock. It was also his second of 2014, as he opened the season with a win at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in April.
