Justin Bonsignore is a Long Island-based driver, competing in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, and various other local racing circuits. He currently drives for the M3 Technology Racing Team, as part of Ken Massa Motor Sports.
Justin Bonsignore began his racing career with go-karts at the age of 8. His family has long owned and operated a Kart Racing Shop, and this early exposure to the racing circuit paved the way for a career in racing.
In 1997, Justin competed for his first national event at the Rockingham Speedway, in North Carolina, where he finished 13th. During his Go Kart career Justin has secured 18 national event wins, 13 poles, and 45 top-5 finishes in 81 national starts. Highlights include wins at Len Sammon's Indoor Kart Race at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island and the East End Shootout at Riverhead Raceway.
In 2005 Justin began racing stock cars. Competing in Riverhead Raceway's Charger Division, and NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series, Justin finished third in the series standings, was awarded Rookie of the Year, and secured the best rookie finish on record.
In 2006, Justin joined the NASCAR Modified Division, where he scored three top-5 and nine top-10 finishes. For the second year in a row, Justin received honors from NASCAR, taking home the Rookie of the Year title for the Modified Division and claiming a seventh-place finish overall, a new best for a rookie driver.
Hopes for a higher finish in 2007 were cut short due to a wrist injury.
2008 saw Justin's first stock car win in 2008 and the division's most top-5 and top-10 finishes en route to an 8th-place points finish.
2009 proved a very successful season performance wise, but bad luck kept overall results below expectations. During the season, Justin broke a long winless streak and won the Cromarty Cup 50 Lap race, qualifying on the pole and leading every lap.
In the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race Justin was able to match a career-best 4th-place finish.
