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.
