Grand American Modified Championship

September 30, 2025

Following an incredible season, championship night for the Grand American Modifieds

came down to the wire with Cade Fox and Eric Rhead racing to the final lap for the championship. A scoring error created by the rain-shortened first feature placed Fox as

Champion; however, after the scoring was re-checked, the error was discovered and

Rhead was actually champion by a single point.

By this time, CNS had already celebrated Fox as the winner, and thus a plan was

hatched to crown two champions. Much discussion followed the announcement of co-

champions, and the issue was referred to Daytona for guidance.

Word from NASCAR is clear: this isn’t elementary school soccer. These are professional

race car drivers who take a great deal of pride in what they do, and a co-champion award

amounts to an insult and nothing more than participation trophies for both competitors.

At this time, Colorado National Speedway issues the following correction: Eric Rhead is

the 2025 Grand American Modified Champion by one point over Cade Fox. Fox is owed

an apology for CNS’ mistake, and deserves a tremendous amount of credit for the

professional way he has handled the matter.

We look forward to recognizing both drivers at the Awards presentation on October 18th.
