Will Seekonk Produce Another Rookie Rumble or Will the ACT Tour Veterans Shine at the Cement Palace?

Barre, VT — The American-Canadian Tour is set to return to Massachusetts’s lone paved oval, the Seekonk Speedway, for the second time this year next Saturday, November 2. The Haunted Hundred marks the final event of the 2024 season with both the international championship on the line as well as the Brookside Equipment Sales Southern New England Triple Crown, Saturday’s showcase has plenty of pressure for the invading ACT Tour stars.

The American-Canadian Tour has already held one event at the Cement Palace with June’s 49th running of the Spring Green 124. That 124-lap special showcased the up-and-coming talent with freshman hot-shoes Kasey Beattie and Kaiden Fisher putting on a show up front while the Bay State’s-own Jeremy Sorel was having a career day among the top-five before mechanical woes ended his day fifteen laps early. While Beattie went on to win his first career ACT feature event, Fisher’s last lap spin found him in a disheartening fifteenth-place finish. Both Fisher and Sorel have been eagerly anticipating making their return to the Action Track of the East, both ready to redeem themselves in the final event of the year.

DJ Shaw won the 2022 Haunted Hundred at Seekonk, Alexendre ‘Fireball’ Tardif has podiumed at Seekonk in past runs while Derek Gluchacki has a runner-up finish at his hometrack in ACT competition. Derry, New Hampshire’s Erick Sands had his first career ACT podium at Seekonk during the electrifying championship battle between Shaw and Ben Rowe in 2021 and bested that with a strong second-place run in June! ACT point leader Gabe Brown also collected his best Seekonk finish in June with a third-place trophy and looks to better that stat next Saturday in more ways than one!
