For Modified racing fans, this week at Mississippi Thunder Speedway might feel equivalent to the Super Bowl.
The 2025 Modified World Championship begins Wednesday and concludes with the main event Saturday, culminating with a $100,025-to-win mega event with 131 drivers from 23 states and a Canadian province.
It's the biggest purse in Modified racing with more than $300,000 of total prize money on the line. The four-day event will be loaded with star power from both the Modified and Late Model ranks, including reigning Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Ricky Thornton Jr.
Other high-profile Late Model racers set to compete include Tyler Erb, Drake Troutman, Kyle Strickler, Mason Zeigler, Ethan Dotson, Stormy Scott and Cade Dillard.
The stars of the Modified racing scene will also be present. Drivers like Rodney Sanders, Jim Chisholm, Joe Chisholm, Lucas Lee, Tom Berry, Jake Timm and Charlie Mefford have filed entries for the event.
Practice and qualifying will be held Wednesday prior to two nights of preliminary racing with heats, b-mains and a pair of $2,525-to-win features Thursday and Friday. The top-five finishers from each of the four preliminaries will be automatically entered into the main event Saturday.
An “alphabet soup” format, similar to what is used at the prestigious Chili Bowl Nationals, will be used to give drivers a chance to move forward and potentially lock into the main event.
That unique format will set the stage for the 80-lap Modified World Championship main event, where 30 Modified drivers will battle for the $100,025 check. In addition to the massive winner’s check, the runner-up finisher will take home $30,000, and the third-place driver will collect $15,000.
