It will mark the first Whelen Southern Modified Tour start for the 21-year-old Hampstead, N.H., native. Six months ago Seuss got his first glimpse of the famed quarter-mile track when it was announced that he was taking over the reigns of No. 47 Advance Auto Parts Dodge for Riggs Racing and former driver Junior Miller.
“It’s pretty cool because I will never forget the day we had that press conference at Bowman Gray and I announced my joining with Riggs Racing,” Seuss said. “It was neat to finally get to see the track because I had heard so much about it before. I just can’t wait to finally get out on the track and race at Bowman Gray this Saturday night.
“I was really impressed with how nice the track is as far as all the grandstands around the track and their new field house and scoreboard.
To be at the track and see 17,000 seats was pretty surreal. I know I’m going to be up for a challenge this weekend.”
Seuss admits to having somewhat mixed emotions heading into the longest Whelen Southern Modified tour stand alone race of the year. “I’m a little bit excited and a little bit nervous,” Seuss said. “I know how much success that Riggs Racing has had at Bowman Gray in the past with Junior Miller. I also know how much effort Advance Auto Parts put into their sponsorship of the race.”
