2016 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
The 2016 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour was the thirty-second season of the Whelen Modified Tour (WMT). It began with the Icebreaker 150 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on April 10 and concluded with the Sunoco World Series 150 at the same venue on October 16. Doug Coby entered the season as the defending Drivers' Champion and he won the championship for the fourth time, twelve points in front of Justin Bonsignore.
Melissa Fifield, the only female driver to compete in the series in 2016, was voted by the fans as the most popular driver for the third consecutive year.
Notes
The Whelen All-Star Shootout did not count towards the championship. Nine of the eighteen races in the 2016 season were televised on NBCSN and were on a tape delay basis. The Icebreaker 150 was shown live on FansChoice.tv.
