The One Way Recycling Crown Vic Cruisers will be competing at all of Seekonk Speedway’s Thrill Show events, beginning with the Memorial Day event on May 24. The One Way Cruisers division is intended to bring drivers into a form of structured racing outside of traditional Thrill Show events. These races use a cost-affordable rules program, keeping to one style car that is easily available and easy able to be setup. The winners are awarded money, along with the rest of the top three, along with a winner’s trophy. It’s a can’t miss addition to already packed Thrill Show racing line up.

We can’t wait to see it hit the track for the first race on Memorial Day weekend and we’re so excited to be back with the track again this season.” “The One Way Cruisers are going to be thrilling,” Rafael Ribon said. “There is no doubt about the excitement that is going to come from watching these cars race around the third-mile.

 For 80 years, Seekonk Speedway has consistently looked for ways to keep all events appealing for fans and competitors. Thrill Shows have been a staple in our schedule for more than 40 years. While adapting to the racing landscape and providing a fresh, attractive lineup for all, over the years, we have tried a variety of rotating events. These have included the Powder Puff races. We have also tried backwards races, sled races, chain races and more, constantly looking to find the most popular.
Our new Crown Vic Cruiser division will hopefully be a new and exciting feature, replacing the Powder Puff races for 2025. It is the perfect, low dollar choice for a racer - male or female - to move into a more structured, safer race division. At Seekonk Speedway, safety of our competitors and fans remains top priority at all events. The decision to remove the Powder Puff races from our schedule was a difficult one, and one not done without serious thought and consideration. It is driven by our constant attempt to evolve and showcase different, appealing events. Female competitors are encouraged to compete in all divisions at the track, and we have countless women who take the opportunity to race in competitive, safe divisions during all events. Female competitors at Seekonk Speedway currently compete in Thrill Shows, Fast Fridays and NASCAR Saturdays. We have women competing across the entire racing landscape, from our youngest division to some of our top NASCAR classes. Multiple women have been champions in the 80-year history of Seekonk Speedway, something we are proud of. We also have women who win each year in some of the most competitive racing in all of the New England market. Over the last 15 years, the Powder Puff races have come and gone, sometimes being held once a year, other times 3-5 times annually. As much as we value the tradition they brought to Seekonk Speedway, not all events maintain their popularity or continue to generate the same excitement over time. With the introduction of the Crown Vic Cruisers, we had to make some tough choices to keep our schedule appealing. While we do not have the Powder Puff races on our schedule for 2025, we remain open to the possibility of bringing them back in the future with a new format, depending on the success of the Crown Vic Cruisers. Our commitment at Seekonk Speedway is to continue to provide opportunities for both men and women to compete in all divisions. Seekonk Speedway hopes the women who enjoyed competing in the Powder Puff races will continue to find new ways to race in 2025, whether through the Enduro classes, new Crown Vic Cruisers or weekly race divisions. We value all drivers and fans who enter the Speedway and we are always looking for new, exciting opportunities for everyone. We do appreciate the understanding and those who have reached out with their suggestions. We look forward to seeing all fans and competitors at the track when we open for the 2025 season in May. Have a great rest of your offseason!  What’s New for 2025? This year, we’re excited to introduce the Crown Vic Cruisers to the Thrill Show lineup! These crowd-favorite vehicles are taking the place of the Powder Puff race on the schedule, and we can’t wait to see them hit the track with their high-energy, door-banging antics. The Crown Vic Cruisers are sure to bring a whole new level of excitement to the show and keep fans on the edge of their seats. The Thrill Show Lineup: Here’s what you can look forward to at Seekonk Speedway’s action-packed Thrill Shows:
The decision to remove the Powder Puff races from the 2025 schedule was a difficult one and not taken lightly, and it was purely a business decision driven by the need to evolve and adapt to changes in the racing landscape. Over the last 15 years, the Powder Puff races have come and gone, sometimes being held once a year, other times 3-5 times annually. As much as we value the tradition they brought to Seekonk Speedway, not all events maintain their popularity or continue to generate the same excitement over time. With the introduction of the Crown Vic Cruiser division this year, we had to make some tough choices in order to keep our Thrill Show schedule fresh and engaging for our fans. Our goal is always to provide race fans with the most exciting, competitive, and memorable events possible, and to do that, we must prioritize divisions that draw the most interest and participation. Unfortunately, this meant that the Powder Puff races didn’t fit into the 2025 schedule. While we won’t be holding the Powder Puff races this season, we remain open to the possibility of bringing them back in the future, depending on the success of the new Crown Vic Cruiser division and fan feedback. Our commitment at Seekonk Speedway is to continue providing opportunities for both men and women to compete, and we are proud to have over 20 female drivers currently racing in our weekly divisions. Many others have excelled in other events like Spectator Drags and Thrill Shows Endoro events, with several even earning NASCAR race wins and Track championships. We truly hope that the women who enjoyed racing in the Powder Puff events will continue to find new ways to race, whether through Enduros or perhaps even the Crown Vic Cruisers. We value all of our drivers and are always looking for ways to provide exciting opportunities for everyone at the track. Looking Ahead We’re counting down the days until the first Thrill Show of 2025. From the roar of the engines to the cheers of the crowd, there’s nothing quite like the Seekonk Speedway experience. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a first-time visitor, our world-famous Thrill Shows offer something for everyone.  Get ready, race fans!

 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 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.

For tickets for all 2025 events and more information on Seekonk Speedway, visit SeekonkSpeedway.com and follow the track on social media for the latest news and updates. 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! 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.
