Barre, VT — Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour officials released today five entry forms covering events from the June 21 visit to Autodrome Chaudiere to the 8th annual Milton CAT Midsummer Classic 250 at White Mountain Motorsports Park on August 2. Those five events combine for a grand total of $222,460 in posted awards for the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour teams during a busy summer stretch for the iconic Tour.

Teams can look forward to nearly two weeks off following the back-to-back Community Bank 150 at Thunder Road and Kancamagus 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park on June 1 and 7, respectively, before making the trek North to Autodrome Chaudiere for the Claude Leclerc 150 on June 21. A quick turnaround will see the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour head South to Seekonk Speedway to celebrate the 50th Spring Green with an invitation to the iconic Wednesday night special alongside the Monaco Modifieds.

Seekonk Speedway has posted a $6,000-to-win, $650-to-start purse for the 50th Spring Green 125 with many Southern New England drivers expected to join the hunt for the special mid-week honors at the Cement Palace! The Spring Green is also the second round in the Brookside Equipment Sales Triple Crown with even more on the line for the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour stars!

The international series turns North once again in a grand return to Circuit Riverside Speedway in Ste-Croix, Quebec for the Yvon Bedard 149 on July 5. The $7,500-to-win, $700-to-start showdown will be on fresh asphalt with the Ste-Croix team still hard at work rehabbing facilities and amenities for fans and drivers alike.

The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour returns to Autodrome Montmagny on July 19 for the CAN-AM 200 with another grand prize of $10,000 awaits the winner with a $700-to-start purse also on the line. Montmagny is a favorite of both Quebec and US-based teams alike with a flat-as-a-pancake frontstretch that doubles as a drag strip into the progressively banked turns and backstretch!

The summer sweep ends up back at White Mountain Motorsports Park for the 8th annual Milton CAT Midsummer Classic 250. Another progressively banked track is a favorite of drivers and fans of all disciplines with the $10,000-to-win, $800-to-start Milton CAT Midsummer Classic 250 quickly becoming a marquee event for the best drivers of the Northeast!
