Yes! It Is Great for NASCAR
No, It Was a Disaster This Time
Since its inception in 1979, the American-Canadian Tour has gradually become one of the North American continent’s most historic asphalt Late-Model tourneys. Following the recent deal, Racing America will broadcast most of the races on its platform and high-profile events like the Milton CAT Midsummer Classic 250 and the CAN-AM 200 at Autodrome Montmagny.
While NASCAR hasn’t aligned itself towards late-model racing, its drivers have often resorted to the circuit for some extra-curricular action. The 2023 off-season was filled with NASCAR drivers gearing up for 2024 at late-model events like the prestigious Snowball Derby. According to Dave Moody, the deal is a good sign and could mean good things for the late-model circuit in the future. Moody wrote, “Great news!” on Twitter as Racing America announced its partnership with ACT.
