First 22 ACT Invitational Racers Announced

Waterbury, VT - The American Canadian Tour (ACT) has notified the first 22
teams that have officially been invited to participate in the inaugural
ACT Invitational at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) on Saturday,
September 19th.



Twenty-two teams from all six New England states and the Provinces of
Quebec and Ontario have been selected in the first round, following two
very successful test and tune sessions at NHMS this past week.



"We still have to fill the field with fourteen more spots and there are a
lot of worthy candidates who deserve to be at the inaugural race", said
Tom Curley, President of the American Canadian Tour on Friday. "We
confirmed the fourteen qualified teams who earned their spots through wins
so far this season, and added another eight teams who we feel will
contribute in a positive way to the success of this event for both NHMS
and ACT Late Model racing", continued Curley.



ACT expects to add another six to eight Invitees after this weekend's
event at the Showdown of Champions in Chaudiere, Quebec. The 200-lap event
pits the best eleven teams from the ACT US Tour and the best eleven teams
from the Série ACT Castrol against each other, with over $35,000 in prize
money. All but one selection to make up the 36-car starting field will be
done following the Bond Auto Labor Day Classic 200 to be held at Thunder
Road Speedbowl on September 6, 2009. The final event will be at the
Plattsburgh, NY newly designed ˝ mile where up to 50 teams from both the
ACT US and Castrol Series are expected to participate in the Fall Foliage
300. The final Invitees will be announced following that event, just prior
to the September 19th ACT Invitational at the New Hampshire Motor
Speedway.
