Barre, VT — With the Full Season Entry now past it’s discounted rate for the upcoming season, the Stars and Cars of the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour are beginning to align for an incredible 14-event season ahead. A mix of popular veterans, young rising stars and the beginnings of the 2025 rookie class has made for an interesting look into the future.
Center Conway, New Hampshire once again leads the fray with defending champion Gabe Brown and two-time champ DJ Shaw once again set to chase the iconic Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour championship trophy. While Brown will again pilot the North Conway Incinerator Service / Bolt Depot Ford Mustang, Shaw’s 2025 plans will look a little different. Shaw will pilot a Dale Shaw Race Cars house car with his familiar #60 and Bar Harbor Bank & Trust livery in 2025 as he sets his sights on championship number three.
Speaking of champions, 2014 champion Joey Polewarczyk and 2017 Serie ACT Quebec champion Jonathan Bouvrette, hauling down from Blainville Quebec, have both filed their full season entries as well. While Polewarczyk is looking for his second championship, Bouvrette would love to make his first US-based championship to the tune of a record $20,000!
Perennial title contenders Derek Gluchacki, Erick Sands, Jesse Switser and Cam Huntress will also return to make another run at the crown while sophomore drivers Kasey Beattie, Jeremy Sorel and Cole Littlewood are also set to return. Led by Bouvrette and Raphael Lessard, the Quebec-based contingent will once again include Remi Perreault while Sebastien Couture will also make several events state-side this summer.
After several seasons of part time competition, the increased awards on the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour going forward have called back Shawn Swallow, Aaron Fellows and Waterbury, Vermont’s Reilly and Peyton Lanphear to the international circuit.
2024 White Mountain Motorsports Park King of the Mountain track champion Tanner Woodard is also making his return to the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour this year and Dover, New Hampshire’s Justin Storace is set to bring the James R. Rosencrantz #47MA on the road this year for a run at the rookie title!
“2025 is shaping up for another spectacular year,” said ACT managing partner Cris Michaud. “We’re glad to see so many returning faces and we’re excited to bring those teams to take on the locals at facilities all across New England and Quebec.”
The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour championship chase begins in earnest on Sunday, April 13 with the 5th annual Northeast Classic at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour Late Models will battle for 50 of the fastest laps of the year on the Magic Mile to kick off the 14-race schedule!
