The Series:

Operating as the oldest division of race cars in the history of NASCAR, the Featherlite Modified Series is the only open-wheeled series in the NASCAR Touring Division. After Modified race cars became the feature attraction at many race tracks throughout the Northeast, NASCAR established the current touring format in 1985. The Featherlite Modified Series not only offers a unique race car, but an exhilarating race experience. In 1999 Tony Hirschman of Northampton, Pa., clinched his third series crown. NASCAR 2000 will see Hirschman facing strong competition from a host of talented veterans and hungry newcomers.

Featherlite Modified Series races are open to eligible 1983-2000 American-made, steel-bodied production passenger sedans.
