ACT Yvon Bedard 109 moved to Oxford Plains Speedway — The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour will now contest the Yvon Bedard 109 at Oxford Plains Speedway on Friday, August 22 for a doubleheader weekend as part of the 52nd Oxford 250 after Circuit Riverside Speedway could not receive permits for the original August 17 make-up.

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. Newly minted as the Yvon Bedard 109, the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour will go green at Oxford Plains Speedway on Friday, August 22 to make a Friday/Saturday doubleheader as part of the 52nd All That’s Metal Oxford 250 weekend.
