Barre, VT & Naples, ME — For the American-Canadian Tour’s Cris Michaud and the Pro All Stars Series’ Tom Mayberry, Lee USA Speedway has always held a special place.

For Mayberry, Red and Judy McDonald believed in a new Super Late Model series back in 2001 and provided the launching pad for the Pro All Stars Series some twenty-five years ago. Now, the two have partnered once again to lease the 1/3-mile facility on the New Hampshire seacoast, ready to give back and return the famed oval to its place in Northeast racing prominence.

Barre, VT — In an unfortunate turn of events, the Municipality of Ste-Croix, Quebec informed the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) office that the Yvon Bedard 149 will not go on as rescheduled on August 17 at Circuit Riverside Speedway. Officials at the Speedway were unable to obtain permits for a rain date during the originally scheduled date on July 5.

With the current situation having been relayed to the ACT office through a series of lawyers and track officials over the past week, Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour officials have been hard at work to secure a new venue for the event.

N. Woodstock, NH — Racing has finally gotten underway for the first time in two weeks at White Mountain Motorsports Park, much to the excitement of race fans, drivers and officials alike. In the end, four elated winners stood in Milton CAT victory lane.

Saturday’s short track racing action started off with the rain-delayed HK Powersports feature event for the Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank Strictly Stock Minis. The rain delay certainly helped sophomore competitor Landyn O’Donnell who fired off from the front row and never looked back, even after the spinning rookie Hayden Morris brought out the lone caution on lap 17. O’Donnell would nail down his second career win in the Strictly Mini class with Vermont invader Kyler Davis and Tyler Thompson rounding out the podium.
