Tommy Catalano is an entry-level professional competing in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, a national single-class stock car championship. He drives the No. 54 for Catalano Motorsports and has spent his racing career in this series since 2018, accumulating 117 starts across nine seasons.[1]
His record shows a driver established in the field but rarely at its front. He has taken one win and four podiums from 117 starts, with his breakthrough coming in early 2026 at Boardwalk Hall. In the current 2026 season, now 13 rounds in, he sits 11th in the championship with one podium so far. Catalano's most frequent rival is Justin Bonsignore, a four-time series champion and professional who typically finishes ahead of him; against Craig Lutz, another regular series competitor, he has run closely matched. His career includes finishes ahead of Ryan Preece, an elite professional with 265 NASCAR Cup Series starts who has raced the Modified Tour, and he has beaten Burt Myers in single meetings.[2]
The Modified Tour grid regularly fields established professionals alongside semi-regulars and part-time competitors. Catalano races in a series where Bonsignore anchors the top tier with four championships and where drivers with 100-plus starts are the standard; he typically finishes mid-pack in that company, occasionally reaching the podium in stronger performance weeks.
