PASS and ACT Events Cancelled; NH Center of Speed Reschedules Racing

Officials with the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) have cancelled the planned events for Friday, May 29, due to forecasted rain throughout the seacoast area.

Unfortunately, due to prior commitments next week, the Senior Tour Auto Racers (STAR) will not be able to return on June 5, but officials are looking at options for a later appearance this summer.

“After watching the forecast get worse and worse all week, coupled with our regulated time constraints, we had to cancel the program,” said ACT managing partner Cris Michaud. “We look forward to getting back in the swing of things next Friday.”

New Hampshire’s Center of Speed will be back in action next Friday, June 5, with a full card of racing to include the Super Late Models, Tri-City Lining Street Stocks, Ridge Runners and the MLM Diagnostics Crown Vics with a 7:00pm Start Time. Grandstands open at 5:00pm with Adult General Admission set at $15, kids six to twelve are $5 and all children five and under are free.

Gabe Brown Wins New Hampshire Governor’s Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway

Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour heat winners Kaiden Fisher and Gabe Brown earned the front row of the New Hampshire Governor’s Cup 150 by each earning a +5 in qualifying action. After suffering with ignition issues all of Friday practice, Fisher made his presence known by leading the early circuits before Jimmy Renfrew Jr. got around him on the lap 7 restart. Renfrew kept pace ahead of the pack while the 32-car field spread out, easing the pressure on their Hoosier Racing Tires against the rough, aged surface of Lee USA Speedway.

A rough outing for rookie Holdyn Sullivan took a turn for the worse, spinning off of turn two and hard into the outside wall. Back under green, former Quebec champion Jonathan Bouvrette made a strong run to the front along with Gabe Brown as Brown took over the lead. With 50 laps remaining, Bouvrette continued to gain on lap times but lap traffic worked in Brown’s favor.
