The Modified Tour races with the Cup Series at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in July (and is the feature division of their fall race weekend), and the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway, where starting in 2020 they are the only support series, one of two Cup weekends (Sonoma the other) where no NASCAR national series events are part of the Cup weekend. Typically, a name driver is recruited to participate in the race to pique the interest of casual fans. For example, Cup Series driver Carl Edwards and defending Cup champion Tony Stewart raced in the July 2006 race. On August 19, 2009, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour made its debut at Bristol Motor Speedway as part of a four-series meet (with the three national series) that week. This was a combination event for the Whelen Modifieds and the Southern Whelen Modifieds, and part of the Camping World Truck Series race meet that evening. The modifieds have also historically run with IndyCars when the IndyCar Series raced at Richmond International Raceway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
