The battle for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championship took another dramatic turn on Saturday evening at New Hampshire's Monadnock Speedway. One week after crashing out early at Oswego Speedway and losing a ton of ground in the points standings, three-time champion Justin Bonsignore was back in victory lane at Monadnock.

Bonsignore started on the pole on Saturday and led every single lap without much of a challenge from any of his competitors behind him as he sailed to the victory, his fifth at the New Hampshire quarter-mile.

Meanwhile, the man that Bonsignore is chasing in the championship standings had a nightmarish race at the "Mad Dog." Ron Silk entered the night with a 17-point gap, but much of that was erased after Silk's miserable night. 

Silk got spun around and made hard contact with Jacob Perry at the completion of the first lap of the race, triggering a multi-car incident behind them. After making quick repairs in the pits, Silk went back on track and immediately looped his No. 16 around again on the ensuing restart. His night was clean from there to the finish, but Silk ended the night two laps down in the 12th position.

Austin Beers, Sam Rameau, Kyle Bonsignore, and Doug Coby completed the top five.

Winning Quote From Justin Bonsignore

"We needed this after last week. I made a big mistake last week and put myself in a bad spot racing for a championship. We're back in it. It looks like (Silk) might have had a bad night tonight. You just can't give up in these things. Four more to go. It's going to be a dog fight." - Justin Bonsignore
