A long standing tradition for the Race of Champions Modified Series has returned in 2025 as “Qualifying” races will dot the 2025 racing schedule and Race of Champions management is proud to introduce the “Punch your Ticket to Thompson” program.

Each Race of Champions Modified Series event as well as each Monaco Modified Series event, beginning with the “Icebreaker” weekend event at Thompson (CT) Speedway Motorsports Park will play as qualifiers for the 2025 season.

The winner of a “Qualifying” race will earn a provisional starting position for the 2025 Race of Champions “150” happening at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on Saturday, October 11, provided the driver and team enter the event, practice and make an attempt at qualifying for the prestigious race.

The first winner of the year was Matt Hirschman of Northampton, PA, who on the Richie Evans Memorial at New Smyrna Speedway in Samsula, FL, on Friday, February 14.

“We’ve had several people reach out to us in regard to bringing back the qualifiers with our move to Thompson,” stated Joe Skotnicki, Race of Champions. “So, we have listened and brought them back including the ‘Punch your Ticket to Thompson’ program. Our working relationship with other Series and tracks like the Monaco Modified Series has been tremendous are we are grateful for their participation in this program.”

Each race that comprises the 2025 Race of Champions Modified Series schedule will be included as a “Qualifier” beginning with the Saturday, April 12 date at Lake Erie Speedway in North East, PA. More dates and other “Qualifiers” will be announced in the near future.
