The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT) (previously the NASCAR Winston Modified Tour and NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series from 1985 until 2005) is a stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR in the Modified division. The Modified division is NASCAR's oldest division, and its one of two open-wheeled divisions. NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events are mainly held in the northeastern United States, but the 2007 and 2008 tours have expanded to the Midwest with the addition of a race in Mansfield, Ohio. The Whelen Southern Modified Tour, established in 2005, races in the southeastern United States. The two tours race primarily on short oval paved tracks, but the NWMT also has made appearances at larger ovals and road courses. The two tours have a combination race in Bristol, Tennessee every year.
