ACT, PASS To Open 2020 Seasons With Inaugural Northeast Classic

The American-Canadian Tour (ACT) and the Pro All Star Series (PASS) announced that both series will open the 2020 race season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) in Loudon, New Hampshire, on April 17–18, for the inaugural Northeast Classic.

ACT and PASS are partnering up as co-promoters of the event, which will feature the ACT Late Model Tour and PASS North Series competing during twin 75-lap main events. Both will be point-counting events that open the 2020 title chases for their respective series.

The event is ACT’s first visit to NHMS since the 2017 ACT Invitational. It will be the second-ever point-counting event for the series at the 1.058-mile speedway, joining the ACT All-Star Challenge in 2011. PASS returns to the Magic Mile for the second straight year and third time overall after running National Championship Series events in 2015 and 2019.

The Northeast Classic will also feature a 75-lap main event for tour-type Modifieds and a 40-lap event for 8-cylinder Street Stocks.

“We’re beyond excited to return to NHMS,” ACT Managing Partner Cris Michaud said. “A few months ago, an event like this wasn’t even on our radar. But Tom Mayberry and the folks at NHMS worked with us to make it happen, and we’ve put something together that we think racers and fans will love. ACT had a great run at NHMS with the Invitational for nine years, and we’re happy to start a new chapter at this great racetrack.”

More details will be announced closer to the event. For more information, visit acttour.com or proallstarsseries.com.
