Veteran Official to Lead Whelen Southern Modifieds |
 NASCAR
announced today the hiring of Jimmie Walker as the
series director of the NASCAR Whelen Southern
Modified Tour.
Walker, from Midlothian, Virginia, brings more than
13 years of officiating experience from several
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series-sanctioned tracks
throughout the southeastern United States.
“We are very pleased to announce the hiring of
Jimmie to this leadership position with the NASCAR
Whelen Southern Modified Tour,” said Brad Moran,
NASCAR’s managing director of touring series. “We’re
happy to bring on a new director that has a wealth
of experience as a track official and technical
inspector to our team of series directors at the
NASCAR Research & Development Center.”
Prior to joining NASCAR as the Whelen Southern
Modified Tour director, Walker served as race
director since 2012 at Langley Speedway in Hampton,
Virginia. His previous roles at the historic oval
include flagman and pit road official.
The 56 year-old Walker also contributed in special
late model events at South Boston and Martinsville
Speedways last season, and most recently he assisted
in the running of the UNOH Battle at the Beach at
Myrtle Beach Speedway in November.
The 11-race NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour
2016 schedule will get rolling on Saturday, March 12
at Caraway Speedway in Sophia, North Carolina.
