The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (WMT) is a stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR in the Modified division. The Modified division is NASCAR's oldest division, and its only open-wheeled division. All 2006 Whelen Modified Tour events are in the Northeastern USA, but the 2007 Tour will race in the Midwest with a race in Mansfield, Ohio. The Whelen Southern Modified Tour, established in 2005, races in the Southeastern United States. The two tours race primarily on short oval paved tracks, but the WMT also has made appearances at larger ovals and road courses. The two tours have a combined race in Virginia.

It is rumoured that with the demise of the Elite division, NASCAR may feature Modifieds with the Grand National Division in the Toyota All-Star Showdown in the fall of 2007. As part of NASCAR's plan to cut costs and unify rules among different tours in the same division, the two Whelen Modified Tour divisions use identical rules.
