Posted by Wayne G. Barber
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The famed Boehler Racing Enterprises No. 3 will return to full-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour competition in 2016 by teaming with driver Rowan Pennink.
BRE, which has won three NASCAR Modified Division national titles and three Whelen Modified Tour crowns across nearly 60 years of operation, has competed on a part-time basis the last two seasons. The pairing with Pennink will produce a full-time effort.
  Pennink was our guest on the RACE CHATTER this past Monday night and hinted news was coming up on his 2016 racing plans with the many modified opportunities in New England.
“I’m excited to be back racing on the tour in 2016 and it’s an honor to be able to race in a car like the No. 3 with all of the history behind it,” Pennink said. “Hopefully we’ll have a good season and I’ll end up driving for them for a while.”
Pennink, originally from Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, has participated on the Whelen Modified Tour since 2007 with his family-owned No. 93 Chevrolet. He’s posted a pair of wins ( Riverhead and Thompson) with 58 top 10s in 124 starts.
 Pennink is the Stafford Speedway SK Modified 2015 weekly track champion and the former 2013 Valenti Modified Racing Series champion.
Last year BRE, based in East Freetown, Massachusetts, fielded a car for 10 of the 15 events on the schedule for rookie Troy Talman.
  Troy Talman was part of the fantastic rookie talent that entered the Whelen Modified Tour Series in 2015 headed up by  Chase Dowling and Max Zachem and others.
 Talman may pilot a race car for Boehler Racing Enterprises in the Tri-Track Series in 2016.

 BRE is building an additional new modified for 2016 and Pennink will provide the spec motors he used in his No. 93 car which are prepared by Pettit Racing Engines.
“I’m honored to drive for the BRE team, Mike Boehler and the whole family, and I’m looking forward to it,” Pennink said.
The 2016 season will be the 32nd for the Whelen Modified Tour. Source:NASCAR Hometracks Media Press Release and RACE CHATTER Interviews. Photos credit,Wayne G. Barber Collection.
