Waterbury, VT – The American Canadian Tour (ACT) Rent-A-Wreck Fall Foliage 200 at Airborne Speedway this Saturday, October 8, 2011 will have some surprise entries.
Perhaps the most surprising entry came from the star of the ACT Invitational at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) two weeks ago: Eddie MacDonald, from Rowley, MA who has entered the 200-lap event following his second ACT Invitational win. “I have heard how great Airborne’s half mile races have been, and since our season on the NASCAR K&N Series will be over (MacDonald finished 5th at Dover Downs International Speedway last weekend) this should be a lot of fun. I really enjoy racing with the ACT guys and just maybe Nick (Sweet) and I can have another battle….that would be pretty special,” said MacDonald. Sweet, from Barre, VT, has now finished second to MacDonald in two of the three Invitational events at NHMS. He will be driving the #57 RPM Ford for the Rick and Michelle Paya team to finish out the 2011 ACT points season. (more…)

Last year Johnny Benson Jr. of NASCAR truck fame, came to Seekonk Speedway for the first time to compete in the ISMA 100. He left Seekonk with his career-first ISMA victory after an exciting battle with Chris Perley to the end of the 1st annual Racing Against Cancer 100. Benson duplicated his feat Sunday at the Cement Palace with a few different adversaries, but an equally awesome run. Benson was able to present the $2,500 ISMA check once again to the Racing Against Cancer effort and he also participated in the Cancer Team Walk on Saturday for one fulfilling weekend.

Presented by AMSOIL and Woody’s Traction
CHESHIRE, Conn. (Oct. 3, 2011) – One of the most vital positions within any motorsports sanctioning body is the PA announcer, the person in direct contact with fans, sponsors and teams.
With snowmobile racing, those fans expect to learn all about who they’re watching and what goes on behind the scenes. Spectators want plenty of information, yet without the technical jargon.
For fans of the East Coast Snocross (ECS) circuit, that information and more will come booming out of a world-class PA system as veteran radio and motocross announcer Jamey Magowan joins the team for 2011-2012. Magowan, 53, a resident of Winooski, Vermont, has over 10 years of experience in radio and four years of experience announcing motocross for the Vermont Motocross Association.
