The historic Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour (ACT) has released an exciting, and promising 2026 season schedule. The stars and cars of the top touring series in North America will once again partner with New England’s top Super Late Model Tour, the Pro All Star Series (PASS) to kick off the season with the 6th annual Northeast Classic at the Magic Mile of New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 18th and Sunday, April 19th. Although the start of 2026 looks a little like 2025, big changes move in following the first event of the season. The ACT Late Models will make their spring time return to New Hampshire’s Center of Speed Lee USA Speedway on Saturday, April 25th with the annual New Hampshire’s Governors Cup 150 that has alternated between the American Canadian Tour at Lee, and the local Late Models at White Mountain Motorsports Park. The return to Lee USA as part of race #2 of the 2026 season will also be the second double header alongside the Pro All Star Series.
Race #3 will bring the top drivers of the top Late Model series back home for the 28th running of the Community Bank N.A. 150 at their home base of Thunder Road International Speedbowl on Sunday, May 3rd as they help kick off the 67th season of racing in Barre, Vermont. The Coastal Clash makes a return to the ACT schedule for 2026 with a new date this time being on a Saturday afternoon on May 9th at the Star Speedway in Epping, New Hampshire. For the first time since the summer months of 2018 New England’s biggest and only Late Model Touring Series makes its long awaited return to the North Country. The Milton CAT American Canadian Tour will run into Groveton, New Hampshire on Sunday, May 31st for the Great Northwoods 150 at Riverside Speedway & Adventure Park with the Pro All Star Series Super Late Models also on the racing card.
The 51st Spring Green 126 lands back in the Bay State of Massachusetts on Saturday, June 6th at Seekonk Speedway for stop one of two in 2026. The next two races will be raced, north of the border with Saturday, June 27th hosting the annual Claude Leclerc 150 at Autodrome Chaudiere and then on Saturday, July 18th at Autodrome Montmagny for the Can-Am 200 with both Canadian events paying out $10,000-to-win. Saturday, August 1st will host the 9th annual Milton CAT Midsummer Classic 250 at the North Woodstock, New Hampshire speed plant of White Mountain Motorsports Park, that will once again pay $10,000 to the main event winner. A little change thrown at the 2026 season schedule will be the Oxford Plains Speedway. The ACT Late Models will once again be a part of the “Night Before the 250” with the Pine Tree State 125 on Saturday, August 29th. This will be the only ACT event held in the State of Maine during the new season. Sunday, September 6th brings the 48th running of the EastRise Credit Union Labor Day Classic 200 back to Barre’s Thunder Road as the season gets ready to wind down. With three points races to go the Milton CAT American Canadian Tour will head back to their home away from home for the 48th Fall Foliage 200 presented by Bar Harbor Bank & Trust at the White Mountain Motorsports Park.
Saturday, October 3rd and Sunday, October 4th will host the 100%er ACT event at the Thunder Road International Speedbowl, with the 64th annual Vermont Milk Bowl presented by the Northfield Savings Bank.
