WINCHESTER, NH- One of the most iconic names in motorsports Bentley Warren will be the Grand Marshall for the CARQUEST Genden Auto Parts 75 Presented by T-Bird Mini Marts.  It will be close to four decades that the Supermodifieds have raced at Monadnock.

” Both things are great actually both things are fantastic. I raced a midget up there one time. It should be a very good Supermodified track because the Supers are so darn fast and the caliber of cars and drivers are just unbelievable.” Warren Said

Warren believes it will be a phenomenal race to watch when ISMA visits the New Hampshire Quarter Mile oval on Saturday evening, May 19. Warren went through a whole evolution of Supermodifieds. He went from the early Supers which were after the cutdowns like a 1936 Ford Coupe and then into the Supers. Warren races from the days of the early Supermodifieds to what they are today which have gotten better and faster.

Warren did not race the last time the Supermodifieds were at Monadnock.  He raced there in the Midget’s which he believed was back in the mid-1960’s.

Bentley’s Saloon will be sponsoring the fast time award to see which driver can break the track record. The winner will receive $1,000.

” It’s something really going to be neat and I am proud to do it. Whoever has the quick time, I’ll have to take my hat off to them. It’s going to be a fast track with fast times,” said legendary driver Bentley Warren.

Warren has raced in many different types of divisions over the years. He has made starts in the NASCAR Whelen Modified, NASCAR North Tour, USAC, New England Super Modified Association, and ISMA.  He was won at 34 different tracks between the U.S. and Canada. Warren has won the Oswego Classic in a total of six times, the Little 500 twice, the Copper World Classic at Phoenix International Raceway as well as the World Series of Racing at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park.

Warren keeps himself very busy.  He run’s Bentley Saloon up in Maine and rides his motorcycle. Warren misses racing terribly. The last Warren raced was for Vic Miller about three years ago at Oxford Plains Speedway. He wanted to race more but he knew he would be doing it full time.  He raced full time for many years.  He is enjoying life more off the track but believes racing was more fun when he was doing it every week.
