WESTMINSTER, Mass. – Rameau Family Motorsports announced today a full slate of scheduled events for the team for the 2022 season. The schedule will begin in April and run through the end of October with the team set to visit at least nine different tracks across multiple states in the New England region to compete in Modified action. The season will include a full-time schedule with the Tri Track Open Modified Series, which will run seven races in 2022. It will also include the debut of a new car for Rameau Family Motorsports as part of the new Whitcomb 5 Series – a five-race series for Crate Modifieds in New Hampshire – with races set across four different tracks – that will bring the team back to the grassroots, weekly environment. The team will also compete in a few Open Modified races during the season, while driver Sam Rameau will compete in select NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events for a team to be announced. “I’m excited to have a busy schedule for the 2022 season,” Sam Rameau said. “I think running the Crate Modified races part of the Whitcomb 5 Series will be fun for the entire team - especially those events at tracks where we have previous success. We look forward to racing for the championship both there and with the Tri Track Series.” The Tri Track season begins on Saturday, April 30, at Monadnock – as part of a two-day doubleheader for the team. Rameau will look to make it three victories in the last four Tri Track events at the high-banked oval on Saturday, then will switch to the Crate Modified entry for race one of the Whitcomb 5 Series on Sunday, May 1. From there, Rameau will compete in the return of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour to Lee USA Speedway on May 21, followed by the $15,000 minimum to win Open Modified event at Claremont Motorsports Park on May 27. Rameau and the team will compete next on Sunday, May 29 with the Tri Track Open Modified Series at Thunder Road Speedbowl in Vermont. From there, June includes another Whitcomb 5 Series event at Claremont Motorsports Park and a NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at Monadnock, along with the annual Tri Track $10,000 to win Open Wheel Wednesday at Seekonk Speedway on June 29. The month of July will include another Whitcomb 5 Series event at Lee USA Speedway on July 15, followed by the 11th annual Tri Track SBM event at Star Speedway on July 23.

The season will conclude at Seekonk Speedway with the annual running of the Haunted Hundred with Tri Track. “With some of the higher purses and competition levels in the events we have picked for the 2022 season, it’s not going to be easy to run up front,” Rameau continued. “But our team works really hard in the shop to make sure the cars are prepared and I couldn’t be more thankful for their efforts.” Sam Rameau will continue his education at Wentworth Institute of Technology during the new year, where he recently accomplished making the Dean’s List once again.

WESTMINSTER, Mass. -- After just over two months out from behind the wheel focusing on his education, Rameau Family Motorsports is happy to announce that Sammy Rameau will return to the seat of the No. 06 this weekend at Seekonk Speedway. Rameau will pilot the familiar family-owned entry in the Tri Track Open Modified Series Haunted Hundred event, set for 100 laps and worth $6,000 to win. Earlier in the year, Rameau captured the victory in the Tri Track season-opener at Monadnock Speedway, and even with missing a race, Rameau still is contending for a top-15 finish in the point standings in the competitive touring division. He isn’t concerned about being out of the seat, and is ready to rock on Friday, October 22 for practice, and Saturday, October 23, for race day. “I think it will be a good day,” Rameau said. “We have raced Legends Cars there before, run some Whelen Modified Tour races, Open Shows, and Tri Track events. It’s a cool little track, where a lot can happen in a really short time. I think everywhere we race has some really great competition. It’s always going to be a challenge. The guys like Hirschman, Bonsignore… they are always tough to beat. Looking forward to seeing how we match up at Seekonk.” Saturday’s Tri Track finale includes practice from 10-10:45 a.m., with qualifying heats set to take the green flag at 1 p.m. The American-Canadian Tour Late Models and Pro All Star Series Pro Stocks will also join the show, which will be made up of three, 100-lap races to end the season. Tickets will be available at the track and are $30 for adults, $10 for children ages 6-12 and kids five and under are free in the grandstands.

WESTMINSTER, Mass. -- The last two times Sam Rameau and the Rameau Family Motorsports team competed at Monadnock Speedway, a trophy went home back to Westminster, Massachusetts. This Saturday, the team returns to Tri Track Open Modified Series competition at the home track for another 100-lap feature, in round four of the Tri Track season. Rameau picked up the big win on Saturday, May 1 at Monadnock earlier this year, dominating the early stages, then pitting and having to drive through the field late to score the win with a late pass for the lead. This time, he hopes the road to Victory Lane is a bit easier. Rameau will look to get back on track after a rough day at Star Speedway last time out and nearly a month off. Through four events on the Tri Track circuit, Rameau sits sixth in the championship standings, just 31 points from the top. The full schedule for race day includes one practice session from 2:30-3:30 p.m., followed by qualifying heat races at 5:30 p.m. The 100-lap feature is scheduled to take the green flag at 8:45 p.m. For more information on Sam Rameau and Rameau Family Motorsports, visit SammyRameau.com and follow the team on Facebook.

EPPING, N.H. -- It was a tough two days for Sam Rameau and the Rameau Family Motorsports team at Star Speedway. Competing in the third round of the Tri Track Open Modified Series season, Rameau struggled with the handling of the No. 06 Central Mass Tree machine, starting with practice on Friday, and rolling into Saturday’s race day. Rameau wasn’t able to qualify through the heat races, but received a Tri Track provisional as a past winner during the 2021 season. He started the race back in 27th position, and improved on his spot early in the race, but wasn’t able to finish following an accident in turn one in the late stages. However, the team put forth a terrific effort against 40 of the top Modified drivers in the Northeast in one of the highest paying races in the history of Star Speedway and the Tri Track Open Modified Series. “We had a tough day but I can’t thank all of my guys enough for their hard work over the two days at Star,” Rameau said. “Looking forward to trying to improve at the next race.” Sam Rameau will return to the track with the Tri Track Open Modified Series on Saturday, August 14, back at Monadnock Speedway, where Rameau won in May.

WESTMINSTER, Mass. -- With two of the six races already completed in the Tri Track Open Modified Series season, Sam Rameau will return to the track this Saturday, July 24, at Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire. Set for the prestigious 10th annual SBM 125, Rameau will drive the No. 06 machine in his attempt to pocket the $6,000 winning prize and gain back the points lead on the Tri Track circuit. Rameau won the Tri Track Open Modified Series season-opener at Monadnock Speedway on May 1, and when the series visited Star on May 22, he finished 12th. This time, the Westminster, Massachusetts, driver is hoping to advance his position and become a major contender to win one of the top Modified races of the year. The event has a purse of over $66,000, with multiple bonus awards on the line. “Tri Track is our main focus,” Rameau said. “I think we will have a good shot to win at Star, and anywhere the Tri Track Series goes this season. I think we will be in good shape when we get there.” The schedule for Saturday’s events includes one practice session from 1:30-2:30 p.m., with qualifying heat races set to begin just after 3:30 p.m. The estimated start time for the Tri Track feature is 6:30 p.m., but subject to change. All tickets will be available at the gate, and for those who can’t make it to the track, Speed51.TV will have live coverage of the race.

LOUDON, N.H. -- It wasn’t the exact day that Sam Rameau and the Rameau Family Motorsports team were looking for at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but Rameau drove the car to a solid 12th place finish in the Whelen 100 on Saturday, July 17. In just his second NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour start of the season, Rameau struggled with power under the hood throughout the day, going a lap down in the middle of the race. However -- with the assistance of a timely lucky dog -- Rameau got back on the lead lap and charged to a solid 12th place finish in the No. 06 Central Mass Tree machine. The team worked hard all day and Rameau rewarded them with a strong finish in the field of nearly 30 cars. “We struggled big time in practice with a carburetor issue this morning,” Rameau said. “We overcame that issue, but the car handled well all day. We think something might be up with the motor -- I just think it’s a bit tired. It’s time for a new one. We look forward to getting to Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on August 21 for our next NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race. It’s a good day when you come out of these shows in one piece and we did that today.” Sam Rameau will return to the track on Saturday, July 24, with the Tri Track Open Modified Series at Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire. He currently sits second in their championship standings with one victory early in the season.

WESTMINSTER, Mass. -- Sam Rameau and the Rameau Family Motorsports team are heading to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend with one goal in mind: winning. Rameau will drive the No. 06 Central Mass Tree machine in Saturday’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Whelen 100, one of the most anticipated races of the year on the Modified calendar. The race often produces tight packs, a drafting style of action, and a thrilling finish that keeps fans on the edge of their seats as part of a full weekend of racing at the 1.058-mile oval. It will be the second Whelen Modified Tour start of the season for Rameau, who is hoping to be in the right position late in the race and have a chance to win. “We’re definitely not in the points battle, so we’re going there with the mindset of winning and doing all we can to get the win in what I consider the most prestigious race of the year,” Rameau said. “This one is the hardest to win on the schedule. We are fully prepared and ready to face whatever we have to face in order to try and win. Loudon is a different animal. It was nothing I was used to dealing with before… I’m ready for some drafting and superspeedway style racing. This is a huge race for my team.” In three previous NASCAR Modified starts at the ‘Magic Mile’ of New Hampshire, Rameau has a career best finish of 12th. In the Open Modified race at New Hampshire earlier this year, Rameau finished inside the top-10. Saturday’s race day schedule includes one practice session from 10-11 a.m., followed by Mayhew Tools pole qualifying at 11:30 a.m. The green flag for the Whelen 100 is set to drop at 12:45 p.m., with the race airing to a live audience on NBC Sports Gold through TrackPass. Tickets will also be available at the gate for anyone who wants to head out to the track and watch the action in person.

WESTMINSTER, Mass. -- After over a month off from competition, Sam Rameau and the Rameau Family Motorsports team are ready to chase a $10,000 check as part of a mid-week special on Wednesday, June 30. Competing in round three of the Tri Track Open Modified Series season, Rameau will drive the No. 06 Modified at Seekonk Speedway in their annual Open Wheel Wednesday event -- this year sponsored by Speed51.TV with Modified Madness. In the first two races of the Tri Track season, Rameau had a victory at Monadnock Speedway on May 1 and a 12th-place effort at Star Speedway on May 22. Rameau enters the Seekonk event just eight points behind leader Ron Silk with a goal of scoring the championship with Tri Track this season. “We’ve had plenty of time to prepare the cars and get everything ready for this race,” Rameau said. “Hopefully, we can go to Seekonk and come out with the points lead and maintain our goal of winning the championship. The $10,000 check would be great -- but I’d rather chase that big trophy and get the championship.” In total, Rameau has run five races this season to date, with three finishes inside the top-10. Practice for Tri Track teams will be one-hour, lasting from 3:45-4:45 p.m., while qualifying heat races will begin at 6:30 p.m., kicking off a full night of racing action. The Tri Track Open Modified Series will run heats, two consi races, and the 100-lap feature that will conclude the night. The 350 SMAC Supermodifieds and the NEMA Lites will also join the show.

EPPING, N.H. -- After a busy weekend at Star Speedway, Sam Rameau drove the Rameau Family Motorsports machine to a 12th place finish in the Tri Track Open Modified Series 100 on Saturday, May 22. Rameau finished fourth in his qualifying heat, and ran inside and around the top-15 for much of the race. It wasn't the finish that the team wanted, but Rameau maintains second in the championship standings, just eight points off the lead, with four races remaining. “I was just really loose the whole time,” Rameau said. “The front of the car was so overpowered… we tried so hard to get the rear planted, but just couldn’t get it right. We’re going to go home, put it on the scales, evaluate what was wrong, and go to Seekonk Speedway with a better package.” Rameau now will take over a month off from racing and compete next with Tri Track at Seekonk Speedway on Wednesday, June 30, for their annual $10,000 to win Open Wheel Wednesday. Without partners like Central Mass Tree, Central Mass Truck & Equipment, Powell Stone and Gravel, Champeau Lumber, Flamingo Motorsports, Dennison Lubricants, CJ Logging Equipment, KG Coatings, AutoPlus, New England Truck & Auto Recyclers, All Phases Renovations, Performance Engines by Billy the Kid, Liberty Supply, WC Designs, Akin Automotive, MAC Tools, Waddell Communications, Frosted Frog and Schofield Power Equipment, competition wouldn't be possible.

Rameau is set to compete in the Prelude to SBM X at Star Speedway on Saturday, May 22 -- the second race of the Tri Track season. Rameau may have previously struggled at Star -- but the Westminster, Massachusetts, rising Modified star is riding a wave of confidence and momentum and hopes to maintain his lead in the series point standings. “Star is a fun track but we need some work there,” Rameau said. “We need to improve. The last time we went there we went in blindfolded… but my crew chief Russ Hersey has plenty of experience there, so we’re looking forward to going back. I want to win the Tri Track championship this year. Even if it doesn’t go our way on Saturday, we need every position and every point possible.” The schedule for the day includes one practice session from 11:50-12:50 p.m., with qualifying heat races set to go green at 2:30 p.m. The feature race is estimated to take the green flag around 6 p.m. and will air live on Speed51.TV for those who can’t make it to the track.
