In addition to the tournament series decider, another highlight will be the running of the Racing Sedans Australia (RSA) Four Cylinder Sedan NSW Championship which has attracted an impressive 26 nominations.
AMCA Nationals, Wingless Sprintcars and Junior Sedans are also programmed.
The outcome of the Mr Modified Series promises to be a keenly contested affair in keeping with some of the great events in the past history of the tournament which has grown considerably in status over the years.
Robinson clinched the series for the 2022-23 season with a third placing in the decider and he will again need a top three placing to successfully defend the crown.
"We have the heavy hitters entered for the Mr Modified Series Grand Final so whoever does win this season's series will have to work very hard for the victory," co-promoter Kim Sauer said.
"It is also very pleasing to see how this event has developed over the years to where it is now one of the very important races on the east coast for the V8 Dirt Modifieds."
Last year's grand final main event was won by former multi series winner Andrew Pezzutti while David Clarke was runner-up.
Andrew's son Jack is one of the V8 Dirt Modified entrants this Saturday night carrying on a wonderful family tradition.
David Clarke also is amongst the V8 Dirt Modified nominations for March 2.
The RSA Four Cylinder Sedan NSW Championship also holds considerable interest.
The entries have come from far and wide typifying the popularity of this category with a number of clubs represented from several tracks. It's an excellent advertisement for the RSA Four Cylinder Sedan category.
The extensive club representation also shows the well established foot print on the NSW racing scene made by this category, which largely serves as a very worthy feeder division for drivers looking to progress further in the sport.
The clubs represented include Summerland Street Saloon Club, Grafton City Speedway Club, Gunnedah Speedway Club, Portland District Motorsports Club and Dubbo City Speedway Club.
A number of drivers know the Lismore circuit well which makes picking a winner of the NSW Championship difficult.
