The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour rolled into Epping, New Hampshire’s Star Speedway for the rain-delayed Coastal Clash 150 on Sunday.
Twenty-two cars committed to the reschedule date with Jonathan Bouvrette, Cole Littlewood and Gabe Brown taking the three heat race victories to set the field.
Thunder Road invader Brandon Gray earned the pole position in heat race qualifying action with Derry’s Erick Sands to his outside. Gray would maintain the early lead before Sands fought back to lead lap 12 by a bumper cover. The two-by-two fight for the lead ended abruptly as the hood went up over Kaiden Fisher’s windshield and after three blind laps Fisher spun off turn three to call out the first caution.
Behind them came Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour point leader Gabe Brown, picking off the top-ten slowly but surely before catastrophe struck. A torn alternator wire ended the strong day for Erick Sands, sending him pitside on lap 56 leaving the Gabe Brown Show from then on.

The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour is returning to the Seekonk Speedway in Massachusetts for the 51st running of the Spring Green this Saturday.
The event also features the delayed start for the Brookside Equipment Sales Triple Crown at the Action Track of the East.
Seekonk Speedway has long played host to the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour with the Bay State oval hosting twenty-two ACT events since 1983. In all those great events, only once has a Massachusetts driver stood tall to win at the only Massachusetts oval with the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour, and that was in this very event last year.
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.
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.
