Matt Hirschman Dominates NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour At Lee USA Speedway

Matt Hirschman Dominates NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour At Lee USA Speedway

Matt Hirschman turned in a dominating performance to win the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Granite State Derby at Lee USA Speedway.

In the inaugural Granite State Derby at Lee USA Speedway, Matt Hirschman dominated early but came up short in the stretch. This time around, Hirschman would not be denied.

“Big Money Matt” took charge on the third lap and never looked back en route to his first NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour win of the year and his first at “New Hampshire’s Center of Speed.”

Hirschman, ever disciplined at conserving equipment, crossed the line 1.120 seconds ahead of McKennedy to win his sixth career NWMT race and his first since the 2021 season opener.

Beers held on for third place, with Rameau and Ron Silk rounding out the top five. Coby raced his way back to sixth at the finish.

Winning Quote From Matt Hirschman

“We just finally closed one. These races are tough to win, and I think we should have had five or six of them in recent years. We deserve better than what the results have been, and a lot of that is on me. I take the most responsibility for that. But today, we delivered.”
