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 Michaud, he fought 59 other cars for a starting spot in 2005’s Seacoast Late Model Challenge, later taking the lead from seven-time ACT champion Jean-Paul Cyr for the win. 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.
