2015 ACT CHAMPION TO BE CROWNED
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACT-112414-68
Waterbury, VT –Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park (TSMP) in Connecticut and the American Canadian Tour (ACT), based in Waterbury, VT have agreed that the 2015 ACT Championship Late Model stock car season will crown the ACT Champion at the famed Thompson World Series event on Saturday, October 17, 2015. ACT will join over 15 other divisions at TSMP in a year-end celebration for both fendered and open wheeled race cars.
Vice President and General Manager of ACT, Darla Hartt said, "We are delighted that Thompson has invited ACT to the dance! NASCAR Modifieds, Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park's own Modifed and Late Model divisions, the Valenti Modified Racing Series, Mini Stocks, really, just about every kind of asphalt stock car division in New England is at Thompson's World Series. We are excited to show fans at TSMP an ACT Late Model 100 lap championship race."
The event is expected to draw teams and fans from all six New England states, New York and the Province of Quebec. The entry calls for thirty (30) starters. The super-fast 5/8ths mile oval at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park should fit the style of the ACT Late Model teams. The ACT Quebec Series races primarily on half-mile tracks, and US ACT teams have had lots of "long track" experience with numerous events at the Airborne Speedway in Plattsburgh, NY and the Devil's Bowl Speedway half-mile in West Haven, VT. The ACT annual visit to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway during the NASCAR Cup weekend in September has proven to be very competitive and exciting racing for fans. The local weekly Late Model teams that use the ACT rules at TSMP, Waterford and Seekonk are expected to join the ACT regulars.
"I'm a huge believer in the ACT program, and I'd like to thank Tom Curley for working with us to bring an American-Canadian Tour race to Thompson in 2015. We are honored to crown their 2015 Champion as part of our World Series. There are few organizations that could raise the caliber of this event, but ACT is chief among them. Their Tour offers some of the finest fendered racing that this region - and the country - has to offer, and we look forward to having many of the Northeast's finest Late Model racers back at Thompson for the first time in nearly 23 years," said Josh Vanada, General Manager of the Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park.
The complete 2015 ACT schedules for the US and Quebec are expected to be released within a week.
