Woody Pitkat, a four-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour winner, will return to the series to compete part-time with Danny Watts Racing in 2025. Driving the No. 82, Pitkat will run select events, including all three races at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, beginning with the Icebreaker on March 30.
Additional Thompson events will take place on Aug. 6 and Oct. 12.
Pitkat is also scheduled to compete in NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races at Monadnock Speedway on May 3 and July 19, along with the Tour event at White Mountain Motorsports Park on June 28. He will also return to Oswego Speedway on August 30 to run the 150-lap event in upstate New York, and plans to compete at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on September 20.
As of now, eight races of the 16-race schedule are planned. Adjustments may be made as the season moves along.
“Working with Danny and the entire team is always a great time,” Pitkat said. “We‘ve selected some of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races we feel we have the best chance to run up front and contend for wins. That‘s what we are out to do with this team – capture a few trophies and get Danny‘s car back in Victory Lane. We‘re looking forward to Thompson‘s Icebreaker to get the season started”
