NAPLES, ME (January 12) – After two seasons of competing in a partial Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model schedule, Newmarket, NH driver Bryan Kruczek is ready to make the next step in his racing career. Kruczek will compete full-time in 2015 and hopes to contend for the new PASS Northeast Super Late Model Challenge. Unlike the overall PASS North Super Late Model series, the PASS Northeast Super Late Model Challenge will allow drivers to compete for a separate title in the United States events only. For Kruczek, 2015 presented the perfect opportunity to race for his first PASS title.
“I feel like we are making a huge step in our program this year and look forward to stepping out of the shadows in 2015,” said Kruczek of his new opportunity.

Atkins, Packard, Welch, Stearns, Robinson All Enter American Racer Challenge Cup
Waterbury, VT – The first trip to New Smyrna Speedway (NSS) in 2011 ended up with 28 very diverse teams. Half the teams were “regular ACT touring teams”, the rest were from various elements of the overall ACT Late Model racing program that covers a wide area of the Northeastern US, and Provinces of Quebec and Ontario.
The 2015 visit to the Daytona Beach area will have a much more experienced and different look when the 2015 American Canadian Tour (ACT) teams visit the New Smyrna Speedway to compete in a two-day double-header event–the American Racer Challenge Cup this February.

Waterbury, VT – Many of the long time race chasers in the Northeast have talked about the big half-mile at New Smyrna Speedway (NSS) in Florida being just like an extra-large Lee USA Speedway in Lee, NH. If that is an accurate assumption, then one former Rookie-of-the-Year and two veterans from the American Canadian Tour (ACT) will have an edge going into the February trip to Florida at the “World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing”. The American Racer Challenge Cup will post $35,000 for teams from throughout the Northeast and Eastern Canada on Monday and Tuesday, February 16 and 17, 2015 in a unique twin 100 lap event over the two days.
Jimmy Hebert, Williamstown, VT was the 2012 ACT Rookie of the Year. In 2013, Hebert shocked the short track racing community with a dramatic first ACT win on opening day at the Lee USA Speedway in the traditional April ACT opener, the New Hampshire Governor’s Cup 150.
