NASCAR heads to Autodrome Chaudière in 2014
Quebec, QC (Dec. 14th 2013) Autodrome Chaudiere is proud to officially announce that the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series will perform at the Vallee-Jonction ¼ mille in 2014. We have always said that we wanted the biggest stock-car events in Canada and having the NCATS series in Vallee-Jonction in 2014 demonstrates again the innovation and magnitude of Autodrome Chaudiere. The June 14th event will be a 300 lap race showcasing the best Canadian NASCAR drivers in the country. With this announcement, we can expect to have several Québec drivers enter the event on the most inclined Quebec Oval. It will be impressive to watch these drivers fend off the best drivers on the Canadian Tire Series; Steckly, Kennington, Fitzpatrick, Roy and more.
The Autodrome Chaudiere owner, Dany Lagacé, is thrilled at the idea of having NASCAR perform at his racetrack: “I have always said that I wanted the biggest stock-car events in Quebec and having NASCAR on the schedule gives even more notoriety to the Vallee-Jonction oval and brings it to another level.”
NASCAR is the most prestigious sanction in North America and having them at Autodrome Chaudière is a dream comes true for the two owners of the Québec oval. The 300 lap event on the Beauceron ¼ mille will be very exciting and without a doubt a “Do Not Miss” event on the calendar.
With this announcement Autodrome Chaudiere has completed their 2014 schedule. This will be the most diversified and electrifying schedule of the speedway’s 28 year history.

Unique Awards Going To 2013 PASS Super Late Model Champions
NAPLES, ME (December 13) – The Pro All Stars Series (PASS), in association with series supporter Northern Race Tire, will be presenting a unique set of awards to the each of the division's Super Late Model Champions. The 2013 PASS National, PASS North, and PASS South Super Late Model Champions will each be presented with diamond encrusted championship rings in recognition of their hard work during the racing season. In addition, the PASS Pro Late Model, PASS Modified, and PASS Sportsman champions will also receive championship rings, similar in design, but unique to honor their championship seasons.
The PASS Champions' rings are manufactured and designed by Stylecraft. From Super Bowl rings to civic awards, Stylecraft has been making fine jewelry handcrafted in the United States for over six decades. The 2013 PASS Champions' rings will be massive in size and will be emblazoned with the PASS logo and other jewels. Additionally, each member of the championship winning teams will also be presented with one-of-a-kind PASS Championship belt buckles to commemorate their accomplishments.
Durham, NC's Jay Fogleman and Farmington, ME's Cassius Clark will be the first recipients of racing's newest annual award. In what he has said was his final season racing for a championship, Fogleman competed for multiple teams on the way to his second straight PASS National Championship and was also able to claim his first PASS South Super Late Model Championship. Like Fogleman, Clark was finally able to take his first PASS North Super Late Model title after years of trying.
"We are very excited to be giving this opportunity to North America's best Super Late Model racers," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "Jay Fogleman and Cassius Clark exemplify everything PASS stands for and no matter where they go, these rings will stand as a symbol of the hard work and dedication it took to achieve one of short track racing's ultimate goals."
In 2014, PASS and Northern Race Tire will once again present each of the series Super Late Model champions with custom rings and belt buckles in recognition of their hard work and sacrifices. The 2014 season will kick off with the 3rd running of the Florida Winter Meltdown at New Smyrna Speedway February 7-8. The Florida Winter Meltdown will serve as the first race for both the PASS National and PASS South Super Late Model seasons.

ACT 2014 Schedule Released
For Immediate Release: ACT – 120213-74
Waterbury, VT – The American Canadian Tour (ACT) released its 2014 schedule which is highlighted by visits to nine (9) different Northeast tracks. The schedule includes a total of twelve (12) events with nine (9) Championship point counting events and three popular ‘special’ events on the calendar.
The traditional event to open the 2014 campaign on April 12-13 will once again be at the Lee USA Speedway in Lee, New Hampshire. The ACT has been visiting the 1/3 mile oval since Red and Judy MacDonald purchased the speed plant in 1987. “It is just one of those relationships that have endured throughout the past 25 years. We tried to help Red and Judy when they first started, and they have been there for us whenever we needed help over the years. This kind of relationship, in this type of business, is generally very rare, but greatly appreciated” said Tom Curley, President of the American Canadian Tour, which was established in 1986.
The home of the ACT, Thunder Road International Speedbowl will host its only point counting event with the Merchants Bank 150 on opening weekend April 26-27. Next up will be the historic Spring Green 114 to be held at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Fair Haven, VT on Sunday, May 4. This will be the fourth opening day Spring Green event at the super fast ½ mile oval.
The teams will take a couple weeks off before returning to action at what has become a favorite track of many ACT teams, the Airborne Speedway. The first of two point counting events will be held on Saturday, May 17 at the Plattsburgh, NY oval. The final point event of the season, and second at Airborne, will be the Fall Foliage 200 on Saturday, September 27.
The month of June will see two events in the Granite State. Riverside Speedway in Groveton will hold a 150 lap race on Saturday, June 7. In one of the most memorable events of 2013, winner Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. from Hudson, NH said, “This bullring races unbelievably great. We had so much fun racing last year. It was white knuckle and about as close racing as you can have. I am excited about having Riverside on the schedule again.” A regular stop on the ACT Late Model Tour since 1998, the scenic White Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP) is scheduled for an annual 150 lap event on Saturday, June 21.
One of New England’s premiere race tracks, Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (BRMS), will again present an ACT event on Saturday, August 9. The very competitive 1/3 mile seacoast Speedway has become one of the most exciting events on the annual schedule for both teams and fans. A different winner at every BRMS event for the ACT Late Models is what the record book shows. The summer visit promises to produce one of the best events of the year.
Two weeks to re-group and off to the only US-Canadian event of the year, the 5th annual CAN-AM 200 will take place at the Circuit Riverside Speedway in Ste Croix, QC. The scenic 5/8ths mile speedway sits next to the St Lawrence River and always guarantees a competitive event as the best of the Serie ACT and US teams square off for bragging rights. This event will take place on Saturday, August 23.
The US ACT competitors will also compete throughout the summer race season at three ACT sanctioned ‘special non-point events’. Three popular events will post combined purses of over a quarter million dollars ($250,000.00). The “International” at the Airborne Speedway will take place the weekend of July 20. The best of all ACT teams from both the US and Canada will be invited to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway during the NASCAR Cup Chase weekend in September for the 6th annual Bond Auto ACT Invitational. The 55th run for the Milk Bowl will be held at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, VT and will close out the 2014 season the weekend of October 4/5.

LA SÉRIE ACT-QUÉBEC DE RETOUR EN 2014
Amateurs et compétiteurs seront heureux d'apprendre que la série ACT-Québec sera de retour dans la Belle Province en 2014 pour une neuvième année consécutive. Au total neuf compétitions ont été inscrites au calendrier.
C'est donc dire qu'il y aura deux épreuves de moins que la saison dernière, soit une à l'Autodrome Montmagny, mais la plus importante est celle des frères Guillaume et Jean Bergeron de rayer de leur calendrier la course qu'ils présentaient sur le triovale de Sanair. Au cours des deux dernières présentations, ils ont cumulé des pertes assez importantes en raison de dame nature et d'une assistance inférieure aux prévisions.
À part de ces neuf confrontations, les équipes de la série ACT-Québec seront invitées à prendre part à des courses majeures au pays de l'Oncle Sam, soit la deuxième édition de l'International à la piste Airborne de Plattsburgh, le Bond Auto Invitational dans le cadre du Sylvania 300 à la piste New-Hampshire Motor Speedway ainsi que le fameux Milk Bowl à la piste Thunder Road de Barre au Vermont. À elles seules, ces trois événements comportent plus de 250,000$ en bourses et bonis.
Au Québec, la saison débutera à l'Autodrome St-Eustache, le 24 mai prochain et se terminera au même endroit, le 14 septembre.
