\"ACT500\"Waterbury, VT \u2013 As American Canadian Tour Late Model teams from across New England and Eastern Canada prepare for the biggest showdown of the summer at the International 500 at Airborne Speedway on Sat\/Sun, July 20\/21, another division prepares for battle: Airborne Speedway\u2019s own Ernie Tool\u2019s Modified division.<\/p>\n

The Plattsburgh, NY Speedway\u2019s headline division, which consists of the thunderous 358 Modified cars, will pound the pavement for twin 50-lap events with the lowest point total taking the victory. The winner will take home a cool $3,000: the biggest purse of the Modified\u2019s season at Airborne. It will serve as a key mid-summer points race towards their 2013 championship hopes.

\u201cIt\u2019s a great time for me. ACT brings in its own set of fans and they get to see what we do for a change. I like any big race. The more laps the better,\u201d said former Modified Champion George Foley. \u201cWe want to win, but I don\u2019t worry about the pressure. That race is big enough that my kids might come though, and I really want to do well in front of my kids,\u201d he finished.<\/p>\n

After gaining his first Airborne feature victory in 2012, Modified standout Kris Vernold is thrilled to be a part of such an event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited about the size of it. ACT brings in a big crowd, and obviously it\u2019s going to be huge exposure for us and for all of our sponsors,\u201d said Vernold. \u201cThe money is a big bonus too. $3,000 to win is the biggest purse we\u2019ll have all year. This is definitely the crown jewel of my schedule. It adds a little pressure for sure, but in this game, we always run with the mentality that you\u2019re running to win,\u201d he finished.<\/p>\n

A full schedule has been released with practices times, tech times, and division qualifying and feature events. It can be found at www.acttour.com. <\/p>\n
