With the introduction of the Sunoco 604 Modifieds comes their launch to the top of the heap, a $1,500-to-win, $200-to-start purse will be in place for the new division in 2024 as excitement continues to mount for the upcoming season.

Fans and teams alike have much to look forward to at Thompson Speedway this season. Expanded to 10 track championship events for each of the five divisions that will call Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park home for the 2024 season, along with the bookending 50th Icebreaker and 62nd Sunoco World Series weekends and the debut of the Sunoco 604 Modifieds! With today’s announcement of the Sunoco 604 Modified weekly purse, over $24,000 will be available to Thompson Speedway’s track championship divisions at each event!
