A close look at a NASCAR Whelen™ Modified at PRI 2018
The NASCAR (National Association of Stock Car Racing) booth
at the 2018 Performance Racing Industry (PRI) trade show displayed the #46
Goodie Racing 2018 Chevrolet NASCAR Whelen™ modified driven by Craig Lutz and
sponsored by Riverhead Building Supply. Goodie Racing is owned by Riverhead Building
Supply owners Russell and Jeff Goodale with crew chief Douglas Ogiejko.
The 106-inch wheelbase LFR Enterprises chassis built in West
Boylston Massachusetts is powered by a 610-horsepower NASCAR-spec 364-cubic inch Robert
Yates Racing engine based on GM LS2 block with
LS2 CNC ported heads fed by an 830 CFM
(cubic feet per minute) Holley carburetor. The Spec engine is not “sealed” and NASCAR rules do allow teams to assemble, disassemble and rebuild the engine but no modifications to the components are allowed.
Craig Lutz from Miller Place New York finished
in fifth place in the 2018 NASCAR Whelen™ modified tour points in his first
full season with Goodie Racing. With three
races completed in the 17-race 2019 NASCAR Whelen tour Lutz is in 14th
place in the standings with one top ten finish.
