 Marquee Events, Weekly Track Championship Battles, Thrill Shows Return For New Year SEEKONK, Mass. – Seekonk Speedway released today the full schedule of events for the 80th season of speed in 2025 at the Action Track of the East. The schedule includes multiple marquee events spread throughout the season, headlined by weekly championship battles for both Fast Friday and NASCAR Saturday – starting in May and running into the final weekend in September. The weekly racing season begins for NASCAR Saturday divisions with a special Sunday showdown to open the year on Sunday, May 4, while the Fast Friday season opens on Friday, May 30. The Fast Friday divisions will compete in a 15-race slate, while NASCAR Saturday will have 18 events. The champions will be crowned within four weeks of the returning Sunoco Drive For The Cup, September 5-6, 12-13, 19-20 and 26-27. DAV Championship weekend returns on September 26-27 to crown all nine track champions over two days. All five Fast Friday divisions - the Nick’s Pit Stop Legends Cars, Helger’s South Coast Power Equipment Pure Stocks, Seekonk Grand Prix Bandolero Outlaws and Bandits and the Everett’s Auto Parts Sport 4’s will be back on track. The Pro Stocks, Late Models, Helger’s Sportsman and Chaz’s Auto Body Sport Trucks will also return on NASCAR Saturday. Seekonk Speedway will celebrate the 80th season of racing with a special Anniversary Series for each NASCAR Saturday division. The Pro Stocks will run an anniversary 80-lap race on June 21, while the Late Models will also run a special 80-lap event on July 12. The Sportsman and Sport Trucks will both run 40-lap special events - totalling 80 laps - on the same night - June 28. “We’re excited to celebrate the 80th season of speed at Seekonk Speedway with a great schedule of events for our fans, competitors and teams,” David Alburn, Competition Director at Seekonk Speedway, said. “We have a great mix of weekly racing, Thrill Shows and special events with some touring series divisions coming in. We can’t wait for the winter to pass by so we can open what will be a special year at Seekonk Speedway in 2025.” Major events for the year include the return of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour for the J&R Precast 150 on Saturday, May 31, joined by Seekonk’s NASCAR Late Models, Sportsman and Sport Trucks. For 2025, Mid Week Madness returns to Seekonk Speedway, but it won’t just be with open-wheel divisions. The Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series returns for their first of two visits on Wednesday, June 25, set for a 100-lap, $10,000 to win race. They will be joined by the American-Canadian Tour for the Spring Green 125, pinning some of Seekonk best against the top ACT invaders. This is the only mid-week event of the year. The Boston Louie Memorial for the NEMA Midgets and NEMA Lites returns on Saturday, July 26, joined by Seekonk’s NASCAR Pro Stocks and Late Models along with the New England Antique Modified Series. The Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series also returns for 2025 - a special three-race series for all divisions, with extra laps on the line. The Triple Crown Series is a long-standing season event that will once again have a full weekend of crowning Triple Crown champions on August 8 and 9, where all divisions except the Bandolero’s will run extra laps. The USNE Power Haunted Hundred also returns for 2025, wrapping up the Seekonk season on Saturday, October 25. The Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series will crown their 2025 champion, along with the American-Canadian Tour back on track for their 100-lap championship, and the return of the Street Stocks. Seekonk Speedway’s historic Thrill Shows are also back for the new year, with six major shows planned. The first is the annual Memorial Day event on Saturday, May 24, followed up by the Independence Day show on Saturday, July 5, headlined by the Fireworks spectacular. In between, the Monster Trucks return for their only 2025 visit along with the Spectator Drags on Sunday, June 15. The MidSummer Thrill Show returns on August 2, while the Labor Day Fireworks show also returns on August 30. The final Thrill Show of the year will be the Pumpkin Smash event on Saturday, October 11.

The Spectator Drag Series will run a 10-event schedule, spread between Thrill Shows and select NASCAR Saturday race days. Additional schedule notes include:

Tickets for all 2025 events will be on sale early December.    When the American-Canadian Tour rolls into Seekonk Speedway this Saturday, November 2, for their championship event, the Haunted Hundred 100, many Seekonk weekly Late Model stars will compete against the incoming invaders. As we have seen over the past few years, Seekonk drivers will do their best to defend the home turf and show the ACT stars the way around the third-mile. The current list of Seekonk drivers set to compete includes Richie Murray, Bobby Pelland, Josh Hedges, Jacob “Rowdy” Burns, Connor Souza, Dylan Estrella, David Darling and Ryan Kuhn. The list includes champions in at least Seekonk’s Pro Stocks, Late Models, Sport Trucks and Legends Cars. In total, there are over 15 championships at Seekonk spread between them. Murray finished 5th in the final point standings in 2024 on the strength of two victories in Seekonk's Late Models. The former Sport Truck champion came inches away from making the Championship 4. Pelland, who made the Seekonk Championship 4 in the Pro Stocks again this year, won a Late Model race this season and is a former Late Model champion at the third-mile. He will be back on the track in his No. 12. Hedges is a former Sport Truck champion, who took the last two years off from full-time Late Model racing, but ran full-time in the Sportsman this year, winning a race and advancing into the Sunoco Drive For The Cup playoffs. Burns is a former Legends Cars champion on Fast Friday. The driver of the No. 30 recently sealed the INEX Pro National Championship with Nick Lascuola Racing at Dominion Raceway last weekend in his No. 13 Legends Car. Burns has made the Championship 4 in Seekonk’s Late Models and Legends Cars the last two years and won double-digit races in the divisions between the two years combined. Souza is a former Bandolero winner, who moved up into the Sport Trucks, then Late Models. Souza won the Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series title this season in the Late Models in his No. 38. Dylan Estrella will drive the No. 35 Everett’s Auto Parts machine for Chase Belcher Racing in the ACT 100. He won the 2024 Pro Stock championship in a thrilling battle to the finish driving the No. 46 for Everett's Auto Parts. Estrella is also a former two-time Late Model champion and a champion in Seekonk’s Youth Racing Association division, who now has four track titles to his resume. David Darling needs no introduction. An eight-time Seekonk Pro Stock champion, Darling started racing in the Late Models during the weekly campaign in 2024, making select starts. He will certainly be a threat to defend the home turf with the ACT Tour, like he has with the Pro All Star Series in the past. Ryan Kuhn may have stepped away from full-time Seekonk competition the last few years, but the driver of the Everett’s Auto Parts No. 72 machine returns looking to get back to victory lane. Kuhn is a former Seekonk Late Model champion and Pro Stock frontrunner who will definitely be one to watch. The ACT Tour is just one part of a full card for the Haunted Hundred this Saturday, November 2. The event also includes the championship race for the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series and a 40-lap, $1,000 to win Open Street Stock event.

The American-Canadian Tour roars back into Seekonk Speedway on Saturday, November 2nd to settle the score in the Brookside Equipment Sales Southern New England Triple Crown! (Kevin King photo)
Barre, VT — The third season for the Brookside Equipment Sales Southern New England Triple Crown is set to be one of the most exciting in series’ history. Each earning one win, Tom Carey III and ACT Rookie of the Year Kasey Beattie lead the standings with Carey’s dominant win at the Thompson Sunoco World Series giving him a twenty-point buffer over the young star. One thing is sure to separate the men from the boys, the tricky Seekonk 1/3-mile with changing autumn weather set to put crew chiefs on notice! While Beattie had the competition whipped to take his first career American-Canadian Tour win with the 49th Spring Green held at Seekonk back in June, this won’t be the same battle on the first weekend of November. Beattie was able to claim the 75-point win along with 10 bonus points for leading a lap and leading the most laps combined with three points earned in his heat with Tom Carey III matching the feat at Thompson just weeks ago. Carey and the Brookside Equipment team are sure to pull all the stops to get the #5MA in victory lane and claim the $2,000 Triple Crown championship bonus! If history has taught us anything, this is far from a two-horse race. A betting man should keep an eye on two time and defending Brookside Equipment Sales Southern New England Triple Crown champion DJ Shaw! Shaw currently sits fifth on the Brookside standings and would certainly enjoy closing out the season with a win for his A.H. Fence Company / Bar Harbor Bank & Trust team! Derek Gluchacki and Gabe Brown round out the top five runners currently on the Brookside Triple Crown tally. The young, red-blooded rivals have had their fair share of door-slamming at the Cement Palace in the past, with each able to podium in ACT competition at the Bay State oval. Both are looking for the finale win as Gluchacki looks to secure the Kulwicki Driver Development Program (KDDP) championship and Brown looks to finalize his American-Canadian Tour championship run! The American-Canadian Tour finishes off the 2024 season at the Seekonk Speedway in Seekonk, Massachusetts on Saturday, November 2 with the Haunted Hundred. Both the American-Canadian Tour champion and the Brookside Equipment Sales Triple Crown champion will be crowned at the Concrete Palace alongside the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series and the Street Stock Open to round out the 2024 season! There will be an option Practice Day for teams on Friday, November 1 while Post Time for Sunday’s three-division showdown is set for 1:00pm. Brookside Equipment Sales in Phillipston, Massachusetts supports the Brookside Equipment Southern New England Triple Crown with a $4,000 point fund up for grabs to the top three finishers in Triple Crown competition. Falconi Energy of Southborough, Massachusetts also supports the Brookside Triple Crown with a $100 cash bonus available to the fifth-place finisher in each of the three events plus $500 to the fifth-place driver in the overall point standings at the end of the season.

Will Seekonk Produce Another Rookie Rumble or Will the ACT Tour Veterans Shine at the Cement Palace?10/24/2024  When the American-Canadian Tour last ventured to Seekonk Speedway (MA) in June, it was a battle between the Rookie hot-shoes and the wily veterans. Will the Concrete Palace again favor the Freshman or is it a Senior Spotlight on November 2nd?
Barre, VT — The American-Canadian Tour is set to return to Massachusetts’s lone paved oval, the Seekonk Speedway, for the second time this year next Saturday, November 2. The Haunted Hundred marks the final event of the 2024 season with both the international championship on the line as well as the Brookside Equipment Sales Southern New England Triple Crown, Saturday’s showcase has plenty of pressure for the invading ACT Tour stars. The American-Canadian Tour has already held one event at the Cement Palace with June’s 49th running of the Spring Green 124. That 124-lap special showcased the up-and-coming talent with freshman hot-shoes Kasey Beattie and Kaiden Fisher putting on a show up front while the Bay State’s-own Jeremy Sorel was having a career day among the top-five before mechanical woes ended his day fifteen laps early. While Beattie went on to win his first career ACT feature event, Fisher’s last lap spin found him in a disheartening fifteenth-place finish. Both Fisher and Sorel have been eagerly anticipating making their return to the Action Track of the East, both ready to redeem themselves in the final event of the year. While the rookies remain hopeful, the veterans have their own track records to uphold. DJ Shaw won the 2022 Haunted Hundred at Seekonk, Alexendre ‘Fireball’ Tardif has podiumed at Seekonk in past runs while Derek Gluchacki has a runner-up finish at his hometrack in ACT competition. Derry, New Hampshire’s Erick Sands had his first career ACT podium at Seekonk during the electrifying championship battle between Shaw and Ben Rowe in 2021 and bested that with a strong second-place run in June! ACT point leader Gabe Brown also collected his best Seekonk finish in June with a third-place trophy and looks to better that stat next Saturday in more ways than one! The American-Canadian Tour finishes off the 2024 season at the Seekonk Speedway in Seekonk, Massachusetts on Saturday, November 2 with the Haunted Hundred. Both the American-Canadian Tour champion and the Brookside Equipment Sales Triple Crown champion will be crowned at the Concrete Palace alongside the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series and the Street Stock Open to round out the 2024 season!

(Kevin King photo)  The final event of the 2024 season at Seekonk Speedway brings tradition back to the Action Track of the East on November 2. The Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series, American-Canadian Tour and Open Street Stocks are set for the USNE Power Haunted Hundred — with the Monaco Modifieds and ACT Tour set to crown their 2024 champions during a full day of racing. The USNE Power Haunted Hundred returns back to Seekonk this year after a one-year hiatus from the third-mile. The Open Street Stock portion of the event will bring many of the local Seekonk weekly competitors, along with some invaders, together to compete for a $1,000 top prize. The 40-lap special event offers a purse of over $6,000 throughout a 24-car starting field. Registrations and a full set of rules for this event are located online at seekonkspeedway.com/haunted-hundred. Registration costs are $30 per car before the day of the event and $50 on the day of the race. There will be an optional practice session on Friday, November 1 for teams to tune on their rides if they wish. Seekonk has been running Street Stocks (now called Sportsman) for decades. During the 2024 season, Adam Pettey bested three others on championship night to win the title. Other top names at Seekonk this season included Colby Lambert, Doug Benoit, Josh Hedges, Scott Serydynski Jr. and more. Registered so far, Benoit, who finished third in the final point standings at Seekonk, will be a threat to capture the prize. Benoit is a former Friday night Seekonk champion who purchased a new ride last offseason, struggled out of the box with gremlins, but turned it on in the second half of the year. He’s joined by Austin Flanagan, Seekonk Sportsman and Truck competitor Dane Saritelli and Cody Moreau as some of the early registrations that have come in. A full list of registrations is expected to continue to pile in before race day. The USNE Power Haunted Hundred returns to Seekonk Speedway on Saturday, November 2. The Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series and ACT Tour will both crown their champions in 100-lap events, while the Open Street Stocks will be on track for their 40-lap, $1,000 to win main event.

BRIAN ROBIE CAPTURES $20,000 PRIZE IN MONACO MODIFIEDS OPEN WHEEL MODIFIED MADNESS AT SEEKONK6/28/2024  SEEKONK, Mass. — Brain Robie scored the biggest win of his Modified career on Thursday night at Seekonk Speedway. In the $20,000 to win Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series main event, Robie captured the lead late in the 100-lap event and drove away from challengers on multiple restarts to score the feature win. The annual Open Wheel Wednesday was delayed one day due to forecasted inclement weather, but the crowd was strong and 34 Modifieds were in the pit area to chase a purse that was over $80,000 throughout the field. A strong field of 27 took the green flag in the special event, now in its 19th year. Robie passed Matt Hirschman for the lead inside the final 20 laps to roll to the win. The Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series results are unofficial pending a full inspection of the winner Brian Robie in tech. Teddy Hodgdon charged to the front in his first Seekonk Modified event, capturing a second-place finish. Kyle Bonsignore worked up through the pack late to finish in third, while Joey Cipriano also charged through, finishing fourth. Austin Beers completed the top-five after coming from the back at the quarter-way mark of the race. Les Hinckley finished in sixth, followed by Ronnie Williams, Matt Hirschman, Doug Coby and Matt Swanson. Seekonk Speedway will return to racing with Fast Friday on Friday, June 28 and NASCAR Saturday on June 29. For more information on the Action Track of the East, visit SeekonkSpeedway.com and follow the track on social media.   SEEKONK, Mass. — In the first of two visits to Seekonk Speedway for the NEMA Lites this season, Ben Mikitarian made sure it was clear he was going to be the one to beat on Thursday night at the Action Track of the East. Mikitarian dominated the 50-lap NEMA Lite feature as part of Open Wheel Wednesday, an event run one day late on Thursday, June 27 due to weather, scoring the feature win. Mikitarian jumped out front and drove away from all challengers in a race that started 17 NEMA Lites. He had to deal with some lapped traffic in the final laps, but it didn’t change the outcome. Former Seekonk NEMA winner Paul Scally finished in second spot, saying after the race that he was happy with a strong podium effort. Kyle Valeri had a third-place finish, while Dylan Coutu and Joey Bailey completed the top-five. The NEMA Lites will be back at Seekonk Speedway on Saturday, July 13, as part of the Boston Louie Seymour Memorial for the NEMA Lites and NEMA Midgets, along with Seekonk’s NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Pro Stocks and Late Models.

SEEKONK, Mass. — A few years ago, Dave Helliwell found himself in Victory Lane at the Action Track of the East. Fast-forward by a bit, and Helliwell was right back at the start/finish line celebrating at Seekonk Speedway again, this time in 2024. Helliwell used the outside lane to pass Matt Seavey and captured the victory in the 350 SMAC Supermodified 40-lap main event on Thursday evening. Helliwell said in his post-race interview that Seekonk is a tough track - one that requires a lot of mental toughness and focus over the course of the race. In the end, he had what he needed to get the job done. Seavey finished second in the 40-lap feature, while Matt Caprara finished in third. Brad Babb and George Helliwell finished the top-five. They were followed by Scott Watts, Mike Christopher Jr., Stephen Duphily, Jim Barker and Ben Tinker. Seekonk Speedway will return to racing with Fast Friday on Friday, June 28 and NASCAR Saturday on June 29.
