NASCAR's first officially sanctioned event was a Modified race on the beach at Daytona, February 15, 1948. This original division, which allowed racers to remove fenders and make other modifications to improve performance, has undergone many evolutions over the past half-century, but it remains at the heart of the American stockcar racing tradition.
A relatively recent variant of this venerable class, the SK Modified, with its 400-hp, small-block V8, trim 2,600-lb overall weight, and sticky, 15-inch-wide racing slicks, offers nimble handling and an impressive power-to-weight ratio, making it the perfect platform upon which to build a driver's racecraft. Running side-by-side and successfully executing passes requires a careful balance of aggression and discretion in light of the possible consequences of touching wheels with another car at speed.
