Waterbury, VT<\/em> \u2013 The American Canadian Tour (ACT) has announced another round of invited teams who have been invited to participate in the second ACT Invitational to be held at the regions largest sporting complex, the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) on Saturday, September 18, 2010. The event will be held\u00a0\u00a0 as one of three preliminary events leading to the Sunday, September 19th<\/sup> first \u2018Chase\u2019 for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. The ACT teams will join the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and the Camping World Truck Series in a spectacular triple-header event on Saturday, September 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The first group of ACT teams, selected a week ago, represented the winners of 2010 championship events and track champion candidates with a few \u2018at large\u2019 selections. This announcement is primarily teams from an \u2018at large\u2019 pool who participated in a test and tune session last month at the Speedway. \u201cThis group represents sixteen (16) more teams in the selection process. This has been one of the most difficult jobs I have had in the racing business. We had 71 teams test and they all did a great job. They really are all deserving of being part of the 43 team starting grid. That is the problem; there are only 43 spots for 71 worthy teams,\u201d said Tom Curley, President of the American Canadian Tour.<\/span><\/p>\n
