After three years of running an IMCA-type modified at Langley Speedway, along with one year racing on the Rolling Thunder Modifieds tour, Aftershock Motorsports is excited to announce that the team has bought a tour-type modified and will compete in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour in 2012. Team driver, Joe Scarbrough will continue to pilot the yet-to-be-numbered modified and will compete for Rookie of the Year honors and hopefully more.
While competing in the #30, #93, and #08 IMCA-type modifieds, Aftershock tallied up over a dozen wins, many top-5's, 2007 Rookie of the Year honors at Langley Speedway, the 2008 track championship at Langley Speedway, and the 2010 Rolling Thunder Modifieds series championship. |

Scarbrough was looking forward to the twin-25's this past Saturday, July 16th at Langley Speedway, until something went awry in qualifying. The crew found a bind in the suspension post-qualifying where Joe ended up 9th out of the 20 car field. Things seemed to be fine until he took to the track for warm up laps prior to the first of 2 features for the modifieds that night. The green flag dropped, and immediately upon entry to the first turn on the first lap something let go in a BIG way inside the rear end of Aftershock #08. The car took a hard turn to the right in the center of the pack, and thanks to Joe's quick reflexes and the fast actions of the other cars in the field, Joe was able to spin towards the inside of the turn and come out completely unscathed, with the exception of the parts failure that caused the whole mallei. Joe and the Aftershock crew will be hard at work getting the parts replaced and everything fixed to be back out at Southside Speedway on Friday the 22nd for a triple-30 night for the modifieds, followed by a 50 lap race at South Boston the following day. |

Scarbrough and the Aftershock team visited Motor Mile Speedway, just outside of Radford, Virginia on a sweltering summer Saturday in early August. The on track action proved to be equally as hot as the temperature, when the 75 lap feature event came down to a green-white-checker finish. When the dust had settled and the checkered flag had waved, Trevor Edwards in his #32 modified came out on top, with a fierce battle for second between Joe in the #08 and AJ Winstead in the #99. Scarbrough had edged out Winstead by fractions of a second to come away with the runner-up position.

Independence Day weekend was full of races and progression in the development and tuning of the Aftershock Motorsports 08 modified. The race weekend started at Langley Speedway with a pair of 30 lap races for Joe and the Aftershock team. The hard work and long hours put in at the shop during the week were paying off with a very reliable car for Joe, but the package was just a little bit off and the results showed that there was more work to be done. Qualifying started Joe in the 11th position, leaving a large uphill battle to get into contention for the win. By the end of the short sprint race, Joe had climbed his way up to a 6th place finish. The second twin 30 race didn't go too well, resulting in a 7th place finish for that race.
Joe and the crew spent a lot of hours back at the shop getting things ready for Joe's debut race at Southside Speedway just 2 days later. There, things made a turn for the better. The night started off with Joe qualifying in 2nd position, his highest qualifying position for the '11 season. The top 6 qualifying order was inverted, so the 08 lined up in 5th for the start. After a very good race, Joe was able to make his way up to finish in 3rd place. Joe was clearly the fastest car on the track at the end of the race and was running down the leaders when laps ran out.
Joe and the Aftershock team will be at Langley Speedway on the 16th. After the tremendous upswing in progression as of late, we all look forward to seeing what will happen for the 50 lap feature on Saturday.
