Wins at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Thompson, CT don’t come easy and Justin Bonsignore earned a hard-fought one on Sunday.

The 26-year-old from Holtsville, NY, outdueled pole sitter Woody Pitkat for the win in the Icebreaker 150 presented by Town Fair Tire. It was his first Icebreaker victory and fourth of his NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour career covering 61 starts. Bonsignore’s second tour win came at Thompson in September 2012. His previous best Icebreaker finish was a fifth-place effort in 2011.

Pitkat, who won his first Coors Light Pole Award in Saturday’s qualifying, came up just short in his bid for a first Whelen Modified Tour win and finished second for the third time in his 79-race tour career.

Doug Coby, last season’s runner-up in the championship standings, crossed the line in third followed by Timmy Solomito in fourth. Eric Goodale rounded out the top-five finishers in the kick-off event for the tour’s 30th season.

Ron Yuhas, Jr., Ron Silk, 13-time Thompson winner Ted Christopher, defending tour champion Ryan Preece and Jimmy Zacharias completed the top 10.

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is back in action next on Sunday, April 27 for the NAPA Spring Sizzler 200 at Stafford (CT) Motor Speedway.
