ACT Announces Southern New England Tripleheader

ACT Announces Southern New England Tripleheader

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                             ACT122215-147

 



<<ATTACHED PHOTO (DSC09063.JPG): The ACT Tour visit New London-Waterford Speedbowl, Seekonk Speedway,  Thompson Speedway in 2016 as part of the Southern New England Tripleheader. (Heather Aube photo)>>

 

Waterbury, VT – The American-Canadian Tour (ACT), in collaboration with the New London-Waterford Speedbowl, Seekonk Speedway, and Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, has announced the creation of the Southern New England Tripleheader for the 2016 stock car racing season. The three-event series will match up the best of the three track's weekly racers with the stars of the ACT Late Model Tour.

 

The Tripleheader will be held on three unique race tracks – the 1/3-mile New London-Waterford Speedbowl, Seekonk Speedway's ¼-mile bullring, and the 5/8-mile high banks of Thompson Speedway. The series includes a special $7,500 point fund for local weekly teams which participate in all three events. The events will also award championship points for ACT competitors as part of their $30,000 Championship point fund, which includes $10,000 for the 2016 ACT Champion.

 

"We had great support from local race teams for the final event at Thompson during the World Series last fall," ACT President Tom Curley said. "The three Southern New England tracks – New London-Waterford, Seekonk, and Thompson – have become an important addition to our ACT weekly business model over the past decade. This program of three races, tied together with an independent point fund, should be lots of fun to follow for southern New England Late Model fans and teams throughout the 2016 season."

 

The ACT Late Model Tour previously raced at both Seekonk and New London-Waterford on an annual basis in the mid-to-late 2000s. Thompson hosted the Tour for the first time in 2015, which resulted in an emotional win for eight-time ACT Champion Brian Hoar. Thirty-five teams entered the inaugural event, of which 14 were local Thompson teams. The event's success brought the promoters from the three ACT affiliate tracks together to create the Southern New England Tripleheader. All three tracks follow ACT rules in their weekly Late Model divisions.

 

"We are proud to showcase our Late Model competitors in ACT's Southern Tripleheader," Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park General Manager Josh Vanada said. "This is a great cooperative effort by all three tracks spearheaded by ACT. We are excited to see the impact that this will have on our competition level and on our ACT event at the World Series."

 

The opener of the Southern New England Tripleheader will be a 100-lap event on Saturday, May 21 at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl. The last ACT event at New London-Waterford was held in October 2010 and was won by Joey Polewarczyk, Jr.; the #97NH team also won the last ACT event at Seekonk Speedway in August 2007. Seekonk's 150-lap Tripleheader event will take place on Saturday, July 16. The final event, a 75-lap contest, will take the green on Saturday, October 16 as part of Thompson's annual World Series of Speedway Racing and will also be the ACT season finale.

The asphalt will make a big change as it moves to a new Saturday night slot at 6:00 p.m.beginning on May 21; the track had previously operated on Fridays.  The Bond Auto Parts Modified division will again headline the program in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series presented by Yandow Sales & Service and John Deere, along with Central Vermont Motorcycles Late Models, Brileya's Chrysler-Jeep Renegades, and Portland Glass Mini Stocks.

Richards Memorial 67 Modified event on August 6, and the Vermont 200 Championship Weekend on September 10-11.

The Dirt Track at Devil's Bowl will also see big changes in its third season as the schedule sees a major expansion to 13 events primarily on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m.  The Dirt Track is scheduled to open on Sunday, May 22 and will also compete under NASCAR Whelen All-American Series sanction with the Sportsman Modified class as the headline division.  Support classes will include the Renegade and Mini Stock divisions and appearances by other divisions including the Sprint Cars of New England tour.

Dates for major special events on The Dirt Track will be announced soon, including The Stove Depot "King of the Clay" Sportsman 100 and the second annual Green Mountain Sprint Car Nationals.  The asphalt and dirt tracks will run on back-to-back nights on eight different weekends during the season.

"This schedule is something that we're really proud of, and I personally can't wait for the 50th season of racing at Devil's Bowl," promoter Mike Bruno said.  "There are still many more announcements that we'll be making during the winter that will only add to the excitement."

Devil's Bowl Speedway will honor its champions and top drivers from the 2015 season at the Holiday Inn Rutland-Killington in Rutland, Vt. on Saturday, January 30, 2016.  For tickets, contact Justin St. Louis at (802) 355-3282 or email devilsbowlspeedway@gmail.com.
