SEEKONK, Mass. — Mother Nature didn’t come to play on Saturday night at Seekonk Speedway, forcing track officials to postpone the racing card including the Spring Green 123 for the American-Canadian Tour. The ACT Tour will return to Seekonk for this special event on Saturday, August 19, alongside a full card of racing that will include the Pro Stocks, Sportsman and Sport Trucks.

Seekonk Speedway has also announced an adjustment in the schedule for the Everett’s Auto Parts Triple Crown Series. Although the first two races in the Triple Crown for all divisions will remain unchanged, the final events for the Pro Stocks and Late Models have been moved to Saturday, August 12. The Sportsman and Trucks Triple Crown finale remains on August 19 as part of Everett’s Auto Parts weekend at the track. The Pro Stock race on August 19 will be a normal 40-lap feature.


“These adjustments to our schedule will just add even more excitement to race night on August 12,” Ed St. Germain of Seekonk Speedway said. “With some of our Late Model contenders racing with the ACT Tour, we will give them the opportunity to do that and leave them off the August 19 schedule. We appreciate everyone working through these types of adjustments with the Speedway.”


-The Scully Memorial 55 for the Pro Stocks has been rescheduled to Saturday, July 15, a night that will also include the prestigious Boston Louie with  NEMA Lites and NEMA Midgets along with the Late Models.

Hirschman Clinches Seventh Tri-Track Title; DJ Shaw Wins ACT Race & Championship; Burns Pockets $2,000 in INEX Legends


By Souza Media


SEEKONK, Mass. – Saturday’s Seekonk Speedway season-finale hosted three divisions of New England short-track racing, with two champions crowned, and one driver keeping the hometown crowd on the edge of their seats in two different races.


In the headliner of the afternoon, Anthony Nocella topped the final race of the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series season, scoring his first victory of his career with the series. Nocella’s Seekonk triumph was a long time coming – as the driver of the No. 92 had finished at the front of the field at the third-mile multiple times, in multiple different modified divisions.


Nocella took the lead from early race dominator Chuck Hossfeld for the final time on lap 69, and drove away to the victory. Hossfeld finished second, driving for Stephen Kopcik, while Matt Hirschman wrapped the podium in third. Nocella’s victory marked the sixth different winner in seven Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series events for the 2022 season – only Hirschman ended the season as a multiple-time winner.


With his podium, Hirschman locked up the series title for the seventh time by more than 40 points over his closest challengers. In another season filled with winning and top-five finishes across the Northeast, Hirschman rocketed back to title form with Tri-Track – one of the most competitive Modified touring divisions in the region. 


Kyle Bonsignore and Woody Pitkat finished the top-five in the 100-lap event. In qualifying heat racing earlier in the day, the field was trimmed from 43 down to 29 cars who started the main event. In the Pepsi Challenge heat races, Matt Galko, Hirschman, Sam Rameau and Pitkat picked up $300 each for winning their respective heat. In the two Pepsi Challenge consi races, veteran Todd Szegedy and Rob Murphy picked up $300 each.


In the 100-lap penultimate race of the season for the American-Canadian Tour, the final 30 laps was a showdown between eventual series champion DJ Shaw and Seekonk Speedway Late Model regular Jacob “Rowdy” Burns. It was Burns who took the lead early, but Shaw charged from the bottom of the top-10 to the front quickly, and challenged for the lead in the final stages. The two swapped the lead back and forth for the final circuits, and on the final lap, as the field crossed for the white flag, Burns was out front. However, it was Shaw who would dive to the bottom and make the pass, edging Burns as the finish by .068 seconds. As a local regular, Burns was looking to become the first track standout to beat the invading ACT Tour drivers in the 17th race in the history of ACT at Seekonk, but came up just a tick short. Alexandre Tardiff finished third, followed by Jason Corliss and Tom Carey III in a 32-car starting field. 


Burns was the winner of the day in the $2,000 to win, 30-lap INEX Legends Cars race – holding off a hard-charging Mason Tessier in the final few feet to win by inches. Burns and Tessier swapped the lead back and forth themselves for many of the late laps, with Tessier trying the bottom in the final corner, but coming up just short. Jase Mongeon, Jake Silvia and Brendan LaBelle finished the top-five in the 27-car starting field, with a purse of over $7,000 distributed post-race. 

Barre, VT — The next leg of the Southern New England Swing Triple Crown for the American-Canadian Tour comes down to Massachusetts’ Seekonk Speedway this Saturday, October 22nd with the Haunted Hundred. Once again alongside the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series, the ACT Haunted Hundred is expected to be yet another legendary showdown between the Touring stars of Quebec and New England against a stout field of hometown favorites with the 2022 season quickly coming to a close. 
​

Currently in the cat-bird seat, leading the American-Canadian Tour points, is a driver who has seen plenty of ups and downs at the Cement Palace. Center Conway, New Hampshire’s D.J. Shaw narrowly won the 2021 Haunted Hundred and the 2021 American-Canadian Tour before being edged in a final lap dogfight with fellow New England touring legend Ben Rowe. This time around, Shaw holds a strong lead but don’t look for the 04VT Ford Mustang playing it safe on Saturday, the A.H. Fence team will be there to win. 


On another hot stream, the ‘Fireball’ rookie from Notre-Dame-des-Pins, Quebec is looking to take down his first American-Canadian Tour win this Saturday night. Alexendre Tardif may have the Rookie of the Year title all sewn up, but he’s still hungry for more. Currently second-in-points behind Shaw, it may take a miracle to get him to the top but the only trophy he’s missing on his mantle this season is the elusive first win. Look for Tardif out front on Saturday. 
A pair of Massachusetts hot shoes will also be hard to keep your eyes off. Both Tom Carey III and Derek Gluchacki were in contention all day one year ago before late incidents stole away the chance to join the Haunted Hundred winner’s circle. Both are also looking to keep up their top spots in the Southern New England Swing Triple Crown after their 1,2 finish at Thompson Speedway two weeks ago. The three-race series will close out the final three events of the American-Canadian Tour season with a $3,000 purse to be spread amongst the top three who compete in all three Southern New England events. Looking for redemption, and eyeing their share of the Triple Crown bonus, both Gluchacki and Carey are coming into Seekonk with something to prove. 


After a hard last-lap crash turned him into instant icon status at the third-mile oval just weeks ago, 2022 Seekonk Speedway champion Mark Jenison has filed his Haunted Hundred entry as has one of the top Thunder Road Speedbowl Late Model rookies with Stephen Martin ready to haul south from Craftsbury Common, Vermont. Officials expect several Seekonk Late Model regulars to join the fray, each looking to be the first regular to ever take the American-Canadian Tour win in the sanctioning bodies 17th visit to the Cement Palace.


The American-Canadian Tour returns to Massachusetts’ Seekonk Speedway on Saturday, October 22nd for the Haunted Hundred alongside the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series and the INEX Legend Cars. The penultimate event for the American-Canadian Tour brings the championship down to the ‘Cement Palace,’ a wild card oval where anything can happen as drivers set themselves up for the championship Shoreline 150 at New London-Waterford Speedbowl on Saturday, October 29th.

SEEKONK, Mass. --  The New England Supermodified Series made their inaugural stop at Seekonk Speedway on Wednesday night as part of Boston Louie Seymour Memorial night at the track, and there was no surprise winner when this one was over. After 75 laps, NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour points leader Jon McKennedy took down the feature win, taking the lead just after the halfway point and dominating the final half to score the feature win.


McKennedy is no stranger to racing at Seekonk Speedway. He’s run countless Modified events in the past, and even had some laps in a Supermodified prior to Wednesday night. But this time, there was absolutely no doubting he was the car to beat. Early on, Dan Bowes led the race, pulling away from his challengers. When it was time to roll, McKennedy pulled into the lead, then held off Supermodified standout Ben Seitz and Rob Summers over the final stages of a late restart to visit Victory Lane. While those two followed on the podium, Bowes finished fourth and Dave Duggan completed the top-five.


The NEMA Midgets and NEMA Lites were also at the track Wednesday for the annual Boston Louie Seymour Memorial night. In the 29-lap NEMA feature, Avery Stoehr rocketed to Victory Lane, dominating in a race that looked like it was going to go the entire distance without a caution flag. However, with just a few laps to go, Paul Scally had a mechanical issue and slammed the wall on the frontstretch, setting up a late restart. On this night, no one was stopping Stoehr, so it didn’t matter. He took down the win with Randy Cabral, a multiple-time NEMA champion, and Jim Chambers, finishing the podium. Matt O’Brien and Nathan Byrd followed in fourth and fifth.


In the 50-lap NEMA Lite race — the Stu Murray Cup — PJ Stergios took the lead early and never looked back. In a race that started with 25 cars, the racing was hot and heavy across the entire track. In the final few laps, Stergios was being hounded by Joey Bailey, who tried everything to get around. On the final circuit, Bailey and a lapped car got together, ending his chances. Stergios would celebrate the win over Randy Cabral, Todd Bertrand, Ben Mikitarian and Danny Cugini in the extra-distance event.


Seekonk Speedway will return to racing on Friday, August 26 and Saturday, August 27, as the fields are set for the inaugural Seekonk Speedway Drive For The Cup presented by Sunoco Race Fuel. Tickets are available online today at SeekonkSpeedway.com.

SEEKONK, Mass. — The winged warriors are heading for the Action Track of the East this Wednesday night. Seekonk Speedway will light up the racing world with a mid-week event on Wednesday, August 24, as the annual Boston Louie Seymour Memorial hits the third-mile with both the NEMA Midgets and NEMA Lites. Joining the card in their inaugural season, the Northeast Supermodified Series, presented by PASS, will also be on the track for 75 laps of exciting racing.



Former NASCAR Cup Series regular Ken Schrader is one of many drivers planning to compete at Seekonk this week. Schrader will be racing in both the NEMA Lites and the Supermodified Series, looking for a double-dip in Victory Lane at the end of the night.


In the NEMA Midgets and NEMA Lites, their championship races will heat up as the season winds down. In the current NEMA Midget points, Avery Stoehr leads multiple-time champion Randy Cabral, who is also a multiple-time Seekonk winner. John Zych, Alan Chambers and Jim Chambers are close behind, and all expected to be major contenders in the 29-lap feature. In the NEMA Lites, Jake Trainor leads the standings over Avery Stoehr, Paul Scally and Joey Bailey. Trainor is not only the defending NEMA Lite Boston Louie Seymour champion and the points leader, but he also scored a victory at Seekonk earlier this year on Open Wheel Wednesday. On that night, Cabral finished second, with rising star Mike Pernesiglio third, and Schrader in fourth spot.


Schrader is no stranger to Seekonk. He competed at the track many years ago and over the last few years has been competing regularly in the NEMA Lite division. Both of the NEMA fields will be filled with drivers from all across the country including Indiana, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The NEMA divisions will be racing for the Stu Murry Cup on Wednesday. Stu was the former CEO of Wirtgen America, who showed many years of support to help get the Boston Louie Seymour Memorial race where it is today. 


The Northeast Supermodified Series field will be headlined by Schrader and current NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour points leader Jon McKennedy, who certainly knows how to get to the front of the field. In the Supermodified race, Schrader will be driving one of Vic Millers cars. The event will showcase some of the top names in the division, as the Supermodifieds bring their big speed and power to Seekonk.


The Supermodified feature will be 75 laps and the field will be set by qualifying heat races.


Calling the action in the booth for the 26th annual Boston Louie events will be Pete Falconi, along with Sirius XM Radio’s Jack Arute and Superstar Racing Experience announcer Allen Bestwick. For the Supermodified Series, Seekonk’s own Kevin Boucher will be in the booth to call all of the action.


Fans attending the event are reminded that no pets are allowed at the Seekonk Speedway, and camping is not allowed on Speedway property.


Following Wednesday, Seekonk Speedway will return to racing on Friday, August 27 and Saturday, August 28, where the playoff fields will be set for the inaugural Drive For The Cup presented by Sunoco Race Fuel. Racing on Friday begins at 7 p.m., and Saturday action rolls at 6 p.m.
