\"ACT<\/a>12 more invitations were extended to ACT teams for one of the biggest racing events of the fall: The 4th Annual Bond Auto ACT Invitational. Invited teams will take part in a 50-lap event on the big stage at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 22 on the weekend of NASCAR\u2019s Sylvania 300.<\/p>\n

The first of this installment of invites will go to past Invitational winner Eddie MacDonald, of Rowley, MA, who has recorded two victories in the first three events. MacDonald will be an early favorite to win, but he will now face stout challenges from Oxford Plains Speedway 2012 Champion Shawn Martin, as well as nine-time Oxford Plains Champion Jeff Taylor. Top ACT veterans Glen Luce of Maine and NH\u2019s Randy Potter will join the prestigious list, ACT rookie sensation Jimmy Hebert will cut his teeth in the event, and multi-time Twin State Champion Guy Caron will be added to the starting grid.

Quebec up and comer David Michaud has earned his invite after proving himself on the highly competitive S\u00e9rie ACT Castrol, and fellow Canadian standouts Ryan Kimball and Bryan Mercer of Kawartha Speedway in Ontario will make the trip to the \u201cMagic Mile\u201d. Former K&N Pro Series Champion Jamie Aube will mix it up with ACT\u2019s best, and long-time ACT Veteran Joey Laquerre will add his years of experience and tenacious driving style to the list of invites.<\/p>\n

Though two-time Bond Auto ACT Invitational Champion Eddie MacDonald will quickly become one of the favorites, rookie star Jimmy Hebert impressed when he laid down the fastest time of the afternoon at the NHMS Test \u2018N Tune last month. Oxford Champ Shawn Martin proved his speed at the Test \u2018N Tune as well, and will try to improve on a third-place finish in last year\u2019s event. Laquerre gave officials a preview of what\u2019s to come when he cut three wide in a simulation race at the Test \u2018N Tune, winning it from the ninth starting position.<\/p>\n

The Bond Auto ACT Invitational will be up for grabs on Saturday, September 22 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Post time is 4:30pm.<\/p>\n
