Southern New England young-gun Connor Souza sealed the deal at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday, earning his first Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour win at the Magic Mile.
After rain was forecasted for Sunday’s originally scheduled date, Mother Nature brought down plenty of sunshine on the hallowed grounds of New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday afternoon. The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour got a strong start to the 2026 season under the April rays with Brandon Barker and Connor Souza both building a +6 handicap in heat race qualifying to join the front row.
After Barker showed the way early it was young-gun Connor Souza who took over and launched away with the lead. As Souza began to pull away, the best race on track saw Jonathan Bouvrette trying to dig underneath Justin Prescott for seventh-place lap after lap. In a heartbreaking turn of events, Brandon Barker’s hot rod went cold underneath the crossed flags signaling the halfway point, bringing his battered machine behind the wall during the competition caution just one lap later.
