ACT Tour Returns from Break with Back-to-Back Big Showdowns
The American-Canadian Tour (ACT) is back with a bang
beginning Saturday, August 28 at Maine’s Oxford Plains
Speedway. After a break to catch its breath following a
Midsummer Classic 250 that lived up to its name, the ACT
Late Model Tour has major showdowns on consecutive weekends
at two historic tracks.
The Oxford Plains 125 begins the back-to-back with ACT’s
second visit of the year to the 3/8-mile oval. It’s part of the
“Night Before the Oxford 250”, which ACT has helped
anchor for the last four seasons. Oxford Plains Speedway
event almost always draw big car counts, with regional racers
and part-time competitors joining the likes of D.J. Shaw, Tom
Carey III, Ben Rowe, Derek Gluchacki, and Stephen Donahue.
Eight days later, the Tour ships off to Barre, VT’s Thunder
Road for the $5,000-to-win Optical Expressions Berlin Labor
Day Classic. The 200-lap event begins a stretch of four
straight ACT-sanctioned Late Models events that pay at least
$5,000 to the winner. This “Show Me the Money” stretch
includes the Bacon Bowl 200 at Quebec’s Autodrome
Chaudiere on September 11, the Fall Foliage 200 at New
Hampshire’s White Mountain Motorsports Park on September
26, and the Northfield Savings Bank Vermont Milk Bowl at
Thunder Road on October 3.
Just five point-counting events remain for the 2021 season.
This means there’s a lot more on the line these next two weekends
than the prize money, trophy, and glory. It also makes
them two pivotal stops in the chase for the 30th ACT Late
Model Tour title. The champion receives $10,000 in cash plus
nearly $2,000 worth of guaranteed contingency awards —
plus the honor of being known as ACT’s best.
The battle for the title is one of the closest in recent memory.
Center Conway, NH’s
D.J. Shaw leads the standings
by just one point over New
Salem, MA’s Tom Carey III.
Turner, ME’s Ben Rowe is a
mere 13 points behind Shaw.
Defending ACT Rookie of
the Year Derek Gluchacki of
North Dartmouth, MA sits 51
points out of first, putting
him one good weekend away
from being a player. Since
large fields are expected at

Road, that means large point swings could occur, too.
All four of the top point drivers have enjoyed success at
Oxford Plains Speedway. Shaw and Rowe own numerous Pro
All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model victories at the
track. Rowe also has two ACT victories on the legendary oval,
including one at the 2020 season finale. Carey finished runner-up
to Rowe in that event while Gluchacki scored his first
ACT podium finish at Oxford in July.
Thunder Road figures to be more of a wild card. Rowe and
Shaw each have several top-10 finishes at the quarter-mile
bullring. They took fifth and sixth in May’s Community Bank
N.A. 150, making them the two highest-finishing ACT Tour
regulars. However, they have been shut out of the track’s hallowed
Victory Lane. The closest either came was when Rowe
finished second in the 2007 Vermont Milk Bowl.
Carey and Gluchacki have limited experience at Thunder
Road, with a handful of starts each between ACT Tour,
weekly, and special shows. Both are still looking for their first
top-10 on the high banks. They finished 17th and 13th,
respectively, in the Tour’s first Thunder Road stop of 2021.
The pressure is on both to find some speed for Quarry Hill
— or to run well enough at Oxford that they can build up a
cushion to survive a less-than-stellar Thunder Road outing.
The presence of invaders is another factor in each show. A
strong field of 29 cars were at Oxford Plains Speedway for the
July 11 event with Hermon, ME’s Mike Hopkins going flagto-flag
for the victory. Hopkins has filed an entry for the
Oxford Plains 125 and will go for the season sweep.
Part-time ACT racers like Dylan Payea, Trenton Goodrow,
and Jimmy Renfrew Jr. are strong at Oxford. Several local
tracks that run ACT-type Late Models take Oxford 250 weekend
off, leaving their drivers free to grow the ACT field.
The Optical Expressions Berlin Labor Day Classic at
Thunder Road is expected to be one of the year’s biggest ACT
events. Many weekly Thunder Road Late Model competitors
also compete in Tour events at the track. They’re usually the
ones to beat, too. Nine of the last 10 Thunder Road ACT
events were won by drivers who consider the venue their
home turf. Of the top-seven in current ACT points, fifth-place
Stephen Donahue is the only one who can claim that distinction.
The generous purse, with $5,000 to win and $500 to start,
will also draw cars. A provisional starting spot has been
posted for Canadian teams as long they are able to cross the
border. Canadian participation is eagerly awaited on all sides
as these drivers are itching to
join the New England racing
action.
To top it all off, ACT has
an incredible streak on the
line. The first seven pointcounting
events of 2021 have
seen seven different winners.
This is tied for the secondlongest
run in ACT Late
Model Tour history. An
eighth different winner at
Oxford would match the
record for most consecutive
races without a repeat victor.
In both 2007 and 2014, there
were different winners in the
first eight point-counting
show before the streak was
snapped.
Gluchacki, Donahue,
Payea, and Goodrow are
among the leading candidates
to become winner number
eight. So are brothers Shawn
Swallow and Jamie Swallow
Jr. for any of these six, it
would be their first career
ACT Tour win. Even more
potential contenders could
roll through the gates at
Oxford. This adds to a compelling
two weekends of
competition of ACT teams
and fans.
The ACT Late Model Tour
travels to Maine’s Oxford
Plains Speedway on Saturday,
August 28 at 4:00pm for the
Oxford Plains 125. The event
is part of the “Night Before
the Oxford 250” program that
includes the Modified Racing
Series, PASS Modifieds,
Street Stock Triple Crown,
Northeast Classic Lites, and
Wicked Good Vintage Racing
Association. Admission is
$30 for adults and $15 for
kids ages 6-12.
A live pay-per-view of the
Oxford Plains 125 will be
available on Speed51.TV.
The Labor Day Classic at
Thunder will be live streamed
on FloRacing for those with a
paid subscription.
