2016 NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour

The 2016 NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour was the twelfth and final season of the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour (WSMT). It began at Caraway Speedway on March 12 and concluded at Charlotte Motor Speedway on October 6. Andy Seuss entered the season as the defending Drivers' Champion. Burt Myers won the championship, 20 points in front of George Brunnhoelzl III.
