ACT Heading to Hickory This
April for Twin 125-Lap
Events
Series Making Inaugural
Visit to Historic North
Carolina Track |
Waterbury, VT
- The American-Canadian Tour
(ACT) is heading south to
get an early start on the
2021 racing season.
Officials announced today
that a pair of ACT Late
Model events have been
scheduled at North
Carolina's Hickory Motor
Speedway for Friday, April 2
and Saturday, April 3.
The 125-lap events are
part of a doubleheader
organized by the Pro All
Stars Series (PASS). The
trip will be ACT's
first-ever visit to the
historic 0.363-mile
speedway.
Friday,
April 2 is the ACT Hickory
125 along with the 2020 PASS
Super Late Model Easter
Bunny 150, which was pushed
back a year due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. Saturday,
April 3 features the ACT
Easter Bunny 125 and the
2021 Easter Bunny 150. Post
time is 5:00pm each day.
Both the Friday and
Saturday events will have
separate qualifying,
features, and purses. The
events will not count for
points towards the ACT Late
Model Tour championship.
"We're getting more
excited about this event
every day," ACT managing
partner Cris Michaud said.
"When Tom Mayberry of PASS
invited us to be part of the
event, we were immediately
intrigued. However, we
wanted to make sure there
was enough interest from
teams before committing. The
response we got was
incredibly positive and
convinced us to say yes."
"Hickory is one of those
bucket-list tracks for a
series," Michaud went on.
"It's like the trip to
Richmond Raceway two years
ago or the first ACT
Invitational at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway
back in 2009. Almost every
short track racing fan has
heard of Hickory. We're
honored PASS would even
consider having us at the
event, and we think it's
going to be a great show."
The entry forms for both
Easter Bunny 125s are now
available at
www.acttour.com/forms.
The early-entry deadline is
March 1, 2021. Event
schedules and other
information will be
announced soon. Details are
subject to change pending
the course of the ongoing
pandemic.
Hickory
Motor Speedway opened in
1951 and is known as both
"The World's Most Famous
Short Track" and "The
Birthplace of the NASCAR
Stars". The NASCAR Cup
series held 35 events at the
track between 1953 and 1971.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series
then held 42 events at
Hickory from 1982 through
1998. Hickory was also a
regular stop for the NASCAR
Modified and Late Model
Sportsman National
Championships, Grand
National East Series, Dash
Series, X-1R Pro Cup Series,
and other tours throughout
its history. PASS has
sanctioned both PASS South
and PASS National
Championship Series events
at the track since 2006.
Hickory began its life
as a 1/2-mile dirt track and
went through multiple
configurations before
adopting the current
0.363-mile paved layout in
1970. Past winners at the
track include legends such
as Junior Johnson, Dale
Earnhardt, Harry Gant,
Richie Evans, Bobby Allison,
Jack Ingram, Tommy Houston,
