Barre, VT — The March 18th deadline for ACT Late Model Tour drivers and teams ready to tackle the full, 13-race 2022 schedule is fast approaching. The longer teams hold off, the sooner that $300 discount is gone as the full season entry shoots from the discounted $700 to $1,000. Several teams, including New Hampshire’s Jimmy Renfew Jr., have already filed and are entered in all events that make up the 31st year of ACT Late Model Tour action.
FoxTV earned a 4.7 rating and 8.868 million viewers for Sunday’s Daytona 500, per @ShowBuzzDaily, up from the past two years but down from 2019, which got a 5.3 rating/9.170 million and was the most recent race without a delay.
Official numbers from Fox will be out soon.
