BELLPORT, N.Y. – Kenneth Massa Motorsports has announced its plans for this year’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season.
Veteran driver Justin Bonsignore will drive an LFR Car as he races for the NWMT championship with Ryan Stone as his new crew chief.
“I’m very pleased we were able to put this deal together after a tremendous amount of work,” said Ken Massa, team owner. “This will bring our team to the next level. We didn’t have the season we wanted to last year and after an exhaustive process, speaking to all the manufactures, and a handful of crew chiefs, we have it nailed down. I’m ready to put our team and sponsor back in Victory Lane and work toward earning our first championship in the series.”
Additionally, it was announced that Phoenix Communications Inc. will continue its partnership with KMM serving as the primary sponsor of the No. 51 NWMT race car.
“The anticipation for the 2018 NWMT season has been building since last season’s finale at Thompson,” said Mark Langevin, president of Phoenix Communications. “The effort and dedication from Ken and Justin have always been there, so to see that high level of determination continue into the offseason spoke volumes. Last season didn’t go the way we had hoped but had its moments that showed just how close we were to make our way back into Victory Lane. With the changes made this offseason to both car and crew, we cannot wait to see what the future has in store for the No. 51 team.”
Bonsignore will start his ninth season with KMM in 2018. He has scored 12 wins during his NWMT career and ranked in the top three in final championship standings in three of the past four years.
“I’m very excited and anxious to get the 2018 season started, racing can be a humbling sport and the 2017 season didn’t turn out to be the season we had hoped for,” said Bonsignore. “I feel that bringing Ryan Stone on board and making the switch to LFR Chassis will elevate our team back to the level we need to be to contend for wins and a championship. Ryan and I have always been friendly at the races, and I feel our chemistry will be there right away, along with having Rob Fuller in our corner for support, I am very confident that this season will be a successful one.”
