“We’re excited to welcome Toyota back as the title sponsor of the Mod Classic 150,” said track owner, John Torrese. “It’s great to have the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour back at the Oswego Speedway.

A strong car count is expected when the series returns to Oswego in September.
The 2026 event will mark the ninth running of the Toyota Mod Classic 150, which has become a staple of Classic Weekend with nine appearances in the last ten years dating back to 2016.
A look at past winners shows the strength of this event, with many of the top names in Modified racing finding victory lane at Oswego.
