Gluchacki First Bay Stater to Win Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour Event at Seekonk Speedway in 50th Spring Green 125
/Seekonk, MA — At breakneck speed with just two divisions on tap for Wednesday night’s showdown at Seekonk Speedway, the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour thrilled at the Action Track of the East with many of the touring faithful going for their second event in four days at two facilities separated by a seven-hour ride! Through it all, one of the best battles for the lead occurred on the tricky third-mile Bay State oval for all the honors that go with the 50th Spring Green 125.
With time of the essence, one round of heat race qualifying set the field for the second round of the Brookside Equipment Sales Triple Crown on Wednesday evening with Joey Polewarczyk, Brandon Lambert and Derek Gluchacki taking the heat race wins. After driving from dead last to fourth in heat two, D.J. Shaw earned the pole position with a +5 alongside St. Paul, Quebec’s Remi Perreault and his +3 to bring the twenty-six car field to green.
Shaw quickly made hay at the front as Perreault followed from behind as Jesse Switser and defending Spring Green champion Kasey Beattie battled side-by-side for third. The first caution flag would wave on lap 30 with Josh Hedges spinning off the nose of Ryan Flood in turn four while the caution again flew on lap 46 as Gabe Brown’s day went from bad to worse with a shut-down machine in turns one and two.
All the while, Gluchacki methodically made headway from a seventh-place starting spot to line up alongside Shaw following the scuff-up between Ryan Morgan and Dave Darling in turn two on lap 60. The two fought side-by-side, over and under each other lap after lap until Gluchacki finally persevered to lead lap 109. Shaw fell back, cooling his tires for another run, maybe even waiting for another caution but it never came.
Under the checkered flags, Derek Gluchacki took down his first Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour cornerstone event with the 50th Spring Green and became the first Massachusetts driver to win an ACT event at Seekonk Speedway since the Tour’s debut at the Bay State oval back in 1983. D.J. Shaw held on for second with Kasey Beattie just edging out Raphael Lessard for third. Jesse Switser rounded out the top five.
Haunted Hundred winner Erick Sands took sixth, Remi Perreault earned seventh for his career best Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour finish followed by Polewarczyk, Tom Carey III and top Seekonk regular Dave Darling rounding out the top ten.
The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour returns to racing action in ten days at the newly refurbished Circuit Riverside Speedway in Ste-Croix, Quebec for the Yvon Bedard 149 on Saturday, July 5. The $7,500-to-win, $700-to-start showdown will once again pit New England’s best against Quebec’s all-star cast on the new pavement of the beloved 5/8-mile oval on the coast of the St. Lawrence River for a can’t-miss title fight!
The Brookside Equipment Sales Triple Crown is back to crown the 2025 champion with the 47th Fall Foliage 200 presented by Bar Harbor Bank & Trust at White Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday, September 13.
