We dug through some archives here at American-Canadian Tour headquarters, and it appears as though one year ago this week, this very ACTion News column space was reserved for a few pre-season predictions. (Like that little disclaimer in all the insurance ads, note that these are merely the cabin-fever-induced musings of a writer that happens to get some print every now and then. Please don’t take these predictions as Gospel, because, frankly, it’s just a shot in the dark.)

WATERBURY, VT – Seven rookie Late Model stock car drivers will take to the American-Canadian Tour in 2008. For some, running with the established ACT veterans will be the next step in their ascent up the racing ladder. For others, it will be a dream realized. For all, it will be something totally different, and it begins at the New Hampshire Governor’s Cup 200 at Lee USA Speedway on Sunday, April 20.
Uncasville, CT (April 6, 2008): The number seven has defied the law of averages and is a symbol of luck and good fortune. In the casino, seven is lucky in dice because there are more combinations that exist for a roll of seven. Matt Kobyluck, driver of the #40 Mohegan Sun Casino Chevrolet, is hoping the same holds true for his seventh career start at Phoenix International Raceway this week. The Uncasville, Conn. driver will make the trek out west to compete in the NASCAR Camping World Series West division’s Jimmie Johnson Foundation 150.
