The green flag drops soon! 🏁   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.

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.

Dylan Estrella added his name to a historic list in 2024. Capturing the Pro Stock championship in the Sunoco Drive For The Cup, Estrella is now a four-time Seekonk Speedway champion. His championships have come in the Seekonk Youth Racing Association Mini Cups, two in the Late Models, and now one in Seekonk’s top division, showcasing a rise through the ranks of weekly racing. With his fourth career title, Estrella joins Joe Rosenfield, Bugsy Stevens, Norm Holden and Leo Cleary as four-time track champions. In the Sunoco Drive For The Cup for the Pro Stocks, the Final Four consisted of Estrella, Bobby Pelland III, Mike Brightman and Rookie of the Year Vinnie Arrenegado. In the final event, Pelland jumped out in front of all early. But it was Estrella who methodically closed a large gap to get to the back bumper, make the pass and drive away with the championship trophy. While Estrella won the title, Arrenegado finished second in the final points standings by one point over Pelland, who finished in third. Mark Jenison, a two-time Pro Stock champion who was eliminated before the Final Four, will be credited with fourth in the final standings. Brightman and Colbey Fournier followed in fifth and sixth. In the Pro Stocks this season, among playoff contenders, Fournier led all with three feature wins, including the final race of the year. Estrella and Pelland both had two feature wins.      Luke Lebrun is now a three-time Seekonk Speedway track champion. Winning titles in the Seekonk Youth Racing Association Mini Cups, Legends Cars and now the Late Models, Lebrun joins an extensive list of drivers who are three-time champions. That list includes names like Dave Humphrey, Don Dionne, Wayne Dion, George Murray, Dick Houlihan and more. This year, he made it into the Final Four in the Late Models and had the car to beat in the finale of the Sunoco Drive For The Cup. Lebrun charged through the pack to get ahead of all playoff contenders and then drove all the way to the lead, winning the race and the championship all in one. Lebrun was joined in the Final Four by Charlie Rose, Jacob Burns and Chase Belcher. Rose and Burns dominated the division for a portion of the season. Burns won five times, while Rose was there twice himself. Belcher never won, but put himself in position to chase the crown in the Final Four. In the end, it was Lebrun who came out on top of them all. Burns finished second in the final points standings, while Rose was third, Belcher fourth and Richie Murray, who won two events, in fifth. Rookie of the Year driver Andrew Gomes wasn’t far behind in sixth, jumping ahead of the other playoff contender this year, Mark Jenison, who finished in seventh. In the Late Models this season, Burns led all with five wins, while Lebrun had three, and Rose and Murray had two checkered flags.     Adam Pettey made a move to get the lead in the championship event of the Sunoco Drive For The Cup in the Helger’s Sportsman, and it captured him the 2024 championship crown in the NASCAR Division III class. Pettey, who won five times during the season, added his name to the extensive list of track champions for the first time in his career. Competing in the Sportsman over the last handful of years, Pettey has been to Victory Lane often. He made the Final Four in 2023 and came up just short of the crown. But this year, he wasn’t going to let it slip away in the No. 57 machine. Pettey was joined in the Final Four by Colby Lambert, Doug Benoit and Scott Serydynski Jr. All worthy of their shot for the title, they had different paths to get there. Lambert dominated the division with consistency this season, and earned the right to finish second in the final point standings. Serydynski and Benoit had their struggles at different times, but came together to get into the championship race with a shot at the crown. Among playoff contenders, which also included Tyler Almeida and Josh Hedges, Pettey won five times, while Lambert grabbed two wins, and Serydynski and Hedges had one each.   |
