Kurt Vigeant Looks To Make His Tri Track Mark in 2021
By Souza Media/Kyle Souza
SEEKONK, Mass. — Kurt Vigeant will look to make his mark in the Tri Track Open Modified Series in 2021. The driver of the familiar white and orange No. 7 is set to compete in all of the races in the new season and hopes to continue to make gains into the top 10 as part of one of the most competitive fields in Modified racing.
Vigeant, who has been involved in racing since the age of 12, broke into the sport with AMA Motocross and became the Grand National Champion. He continued into the Pro 4 Modifieds, where he went to Victory Lane, then became a two-time champion at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in their Modified division. All of this experience drove his interest to move into the Tour-Type Modifieds, where he runs today, specifically with Tri Track. He’s hoping to make gains on his previous efforts during the 2021 season.
“When I started in these types of Modifieds we ran a few races, then totaled the car and it took two years to fix it because we didn’t have the funds,” Vigeant said. “I enjoy the schedule that Tri Track has with the bullring tracks. I don’t think anyone is content where they are running, until you are on the top.”

The prestigious three-day weekend, scheduled for September 17-19, will include 14 different divisions, with some of the most intense short-track action New Hampshire will see all season.
The Classic will once again air live to viewers on Speed51.TV, and the enhanced MAVTV broadcast of the ISMA Supermodifieds will be tape-delayed and air at a later date. The broadcast will include multiple camera angles, a pit reporter, on-board cameras and more.
“This is something I have been trying to make happen for five years,” Bobby Webber, owner of Star Speedway, said. “Being on MAVTV is huge for Star. It’s huge for the track to showcase our great racing, and especially for the racers themselves, to be able to promote sponsors on a national TV level. It’s an exciting moment — one that all of us at Star are proud of.”
