Who says the older drivers can’t mix it up with the young ones. Mike Stefanik proved he can still take home checkered flags.

Seven-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Mike Stefanik edged Ron Silk by .003 of a second to win the Town Fair Tire 100 in a photo finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday.

“I am just happy this old man can mix it up with the young guys out here,” said the 54-year-old Stefanik in victory lane. “I asked my spotter how many to go. She said 5 to go. I counted two more and went for it.”

Stefanik and Silk swapped the lead 17 times over the final 48 laps of the 100-lap event on the 1.058-mile oval. Stefanik took the lead for the final time on lap 97 and held on for his 72nd career victory. It was also Stefanik’s eighth win at New Hampshire, where he is the winningest driver.

The win also gave Stefanik a locked-in spot to the UNOH Battle At The Beach on the .4-mile oval at Daytona International Speedway next February during Speedweeks.

Points leader Doug Coby closed late to finish third after pitting four times in the first half of the race to adjust the car. Coby leads Silk, 261-244.

Eric Beers finished fourth and Todd Szegedy fifth. Rowan Pennink finished sixth, followed by Andy Seuss, Donny Lia, Zane Zeiner and Woody Pitkat.

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will race next on Saturday, July 28 at Riverhead (N.Y.) Raceway.
