AMERICAN-CANADIAN TOUR COMING TO TOWN TO JOIN NASCAR DIVISIONS, FAST FRIDAY IN BUSY WEEKEND

SEEKONK, Mass. — The first of two visits for the stars of the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) at Seekonk Speedway will take place this Saturday, June 6. The ACT Tour will join the first round of the Everett’s Triple Crown Series for the NASCAR Local Racing Series Pro Stocks and Sport Trucks, along with the return of the Sportsman division, for a four-division card sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats this Saturday evening. 

Fast Friday will also return to the track for the second week of their season, headlined by round one of the Everett’s Triple Crown Series for the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars, Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Bandits and Outlaws, and One Way Recycling Crown Vics. The Pure Stocks and Sport 4s will also be back on the track, rounding out 10 divisions of action during two days.

Fast Friday action begins at 7 p.m., while NASCAR Saturday will take the green flag at 6 p.m.

The ACT Tour visits Seekonk for their first of two visits in 2026, pinning some of Seekonk’s local standouts against the touring series contenders. The Seekonk contingent looks to be led by two-time Late Model and former Pro Stock champion Dylan Estrella and two-time Pro Stock champion and former Late Model champion Mark Jenison. In three ACT events so far in 2026, Gabe Brown has two victories, can he add a third? Fans can keep their eyes on names like Jake Johnson, Jesse Switser, Kaiden Fisher and Jonathan Bouvrette, among others. There is expected to be a strong field of contenders to battle in the annual Spring Green event, set for 126 laps. 

The NASCAR Pro Stocks hit the track for just their second race of the season, led by Dave Darling. The nine-time and defending track champion won on opening day, which will be just a month ago once they hit the track this weekend. Darling beat Nick Lasucola and Kenny Spencer in race one, and will be a threat to charge to the front again in the first round of the Triple Crown Series. With 60 laps on the line, anything is possible. Look for Dylan Estrella and Mike Brightman to try and rebound from a rough opener, while names like Vinnie Arrenegado Jr., Colbey Fournier, Mark Jenison and others will be back on the track. 

The Sport Truck division has two races in the books so far, with Scott Cestodio and Tommy Adams the most consistent drivers out of the gate. Cestodio opened the season with two podium finishes, while Adams captured a podium and a fifth. They will both be challenged by defending Everett’s Triple Crown champion Ethan Heilborn, who after a tough start, looks to climb back into the battle this week. The two winners so far are Tim Bolger Jr. and Richie Helger Jr., both looking to get their second trophy. Look out for defending champion Jake Vanada, former champions Mike Cavallaro and Mike Duarte, and names like Colton Teague, DJ Thibeault, Danny Thibeault and others in their 35-lap showdown this week. 

Sportsman competition continues to keep fans screaming loudly, with excitement at the front of the field coming right down to the end of the first two events. Randy Moretti won comfortably on opening day, but it was defending champion Adam Pettey storming back to win his first race in round two after missing the opener. Consistency has been key early for Josh Hedges, Doug Benoit and Nick Brightman, each of them off to strong starts. Matthew Talbot has looked impressive as the early Rookie of the Year battle leader. Their 25-lap feature this week will include names like Adam Giacomozzi, Nick Wood, Scott Serydynski Jr., Cody Moreau, rookie Kent Aspden III and Jimmy “Pepe” Silvia, who is back after flipping onto his roof in the last event. 

In week one of Fast Friday racing, the story in the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars was much of the same as last year. Josh Parsons, who didn’t know if he was going to even be racing up until late in the week, was fast all day and rocketed to Victory Lane in the 25-lap feature. Parsons will be back for week two, with former champions Richie Helger Jr. and Jacob Burns looking to hunt him down. Helger had an opener that was up and down, while Burns was all down, with mechanical trouble costing him a shot at taking the green. Isaiah Newcomb and Mason Tessier were on the podium in round one, while young guns Brian Wilkinson Jr and Brody Wakefield also scored strong runs. The first Triple Crown event could draw back some familiar faces who have moved up to NASCAR Saturday. 

In a Pure Stock feature that went right down to the wire last week, rookie contender and reigning Sport 4 champion Richie Johnson won his first Pure Stock race in his debut. He held off Ethan Souza to do it - while Souza was breathing down his neck looking to find a way by. Early on, it looks like Souza will again be one of the ones to beat in the Pure Stock class. They were joined in the top-five by Bobby Bettencourt III, Zachary Keith and former champion Brent Robidoux. For Robidoux, who was fastest in group qualifying, week two could bring another checkered flag to the No. 25 camp. Keep an eye on all of these contenders and names like Peter Bleau, Bryson Robidoux, Crystal Murray and others in their second main event of the season. 

The debut of the One Way Recycling Crown Vic Cruisers was a wild one last week, with the Curtis family appearing to have an early grasp on the new weekly division. When the checkered flag went into the air, Chase Curtis beat Chris Curtis and Jared Curtis to win. They were followed by six-time track champion Mike Cavallaro and Jeffrey Barrows in the top-five. As the most affordable way to get into short-track racing at Seekonk Speedway, the Crown Vic Cruisers will be back for their first Everett’s Triple Crown event this week. 

Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Bandit and Outlaw racing went right down to the final lap in both divisions in week one. Part-time contender Mason Goodale traveled from Long Island to score the victory in the Bandits, while Zacarias Kelley crossed the line second during the feature, but was awarded the victory in post-race inspection in the Outlaws. 

The Bandit field still looks like they will be chasing Jace Chaber and the Solomito family in their championship fight, with Brody debuting last week and finishing second. Landon Solomito was the class of the field through practice and qualifying, but a late incident sidelined him before the finish. Other names to watch in the Bandits are Tobey Lecuyer and Brooke Meyer. In the Outlaws, Allyha DeSomma crossed the line first, but a technical infraction cost her the checkered flag. The speed will be there again in week two for this young star, so look for DeSomma to try and rebound. Keep your eyes on Luka Dib, Ryder Aguiar, Landon Heim, Brady Connors and others. 

The first week of Sport 4 racing saw two teammates out front, with Arthur Meack beating out Dave Westgate for the first 25-lap victory of the season. They passed Samantha Sleboda, who led many laps, to get the job done. Look for the three of them to be right back up front this week, with Jacob Budznya, Christine Cavallaro, Daniel Hayes, Joe Mello, Nate Harris and others expected to also contend.
