Wineinger Wins at Nashville

Darryl Wineinger's Tour Modified Car

Darryl Wineinger became the fourth different winner in the five races that have taken place in the 2025 YesterYear Tour Modified season thus far. Wineinger bested heavy race favorite Tom Ogle to take the victory in Tuesday night's Tennessee 100 from the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. Allen Wannamaker, Founder of the YesterYear Racing™ League, said, "It's nice to have parity in the League and I was glad to see Darryl win tonight. So many times in various leagues across iRacing you see the same one or two drivers win every week. It can be good for a league when that happens as you have other drivers improving their race craft to compete, but if the league is broadcast it can be a drag and sometimes boring for the audience to watch the same driver win every week."

Wineinger and Ogle were in a "dogfight" most of the night. After winning the pole, Wineinger quickly lost the lead to Ogle early on. As the laps ticked off, Wineinger's car seemed to get better and come in more, whereas Ogle's began to fade a bit. "He was better than me on longer runs tonight. I knew he was going to be quick the whole night when he threw up that qualifying time," Ogle said after the race.

With the win, Wineinger moves into fifth place in the overall standings, but only 11 points behind new points leader Tom Ogle who has a single point lead over Todd Liston. Liston struggled all night with an ill-handling car and will look to bounce back at Thompson next week. Kenny Allen holds down the third spot in the standings followed by Jeffery Hardin.

The Tennessee 100 was the first of three races in a row before the Series takes their summer break. On Tuesday, May 27, the Series heads to Thompson Speedway for the Connecticut 100. And then on June 3, the Series heads back to South Boston Speedway for the Old Dominion 267. Both races will be streamed live by the Virtual Grip Network.
