The NASCAR Virginia is for Racing Lovers 200 is finally done and dusted. The final race of the 2023 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour started at 8 pm ET on Thursday (Oct. 26) at the Martinsville Speedway, with 36 entries.

Ryan Preece, driving the #40 car for Jeff Preece, won Friday's Martinsville race in his first Whelen Modified Tour start of the year at the 0.526-mile track. The win marked his first in the series at the venue since 2008.

The 2013 Whelen Modified Tour champion and regular Cup Series driver emerged victorious after leading the race throughout the final green flag run. He crossed the finish line by an impressive margin of 0.977 seconds ahead of Justin Bonsignore. The win marked his 26th career NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour victory.

Preece dedicated the win to his late car owner Eddie Partridge.

“The last time I won on (the NASCAR Whelen Modified) Tour was at Richmond (in 2021) and that was the day I lost one of my best friends (in Eddie Partridge).

"This is the same car that we bought from (Partridge’s) wife, so (tonight) really hit me,” Preece said as quoted by nascar.com.

Preece is followed by Justin Bonsignore, Patrick Emerling, Matt Hirschman and Tyler Rypkema in the top-five. Ron Silk, JB Fortin, Max McLaughlin, Andrew Krause and Bobby Labonte completed the top 10.
