Barre, VT — In an unfortunate turn of events, the Municipality of Ste-Croix, Quebec informed the American-Canadian Tour office that the Yvon Bedard 149 will not go on as rescheduled on August 17 at Circuit Riverside Speedway. Officials at the Speedway were unable to obtain permits for a rain date during the originally scheduled date on July 5.

With the current situation having been relayed to the ACT office through a series of lawyers and track officials over the past week, Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour officials have been hard at work to secure a new venue for the event. Newly minted as the Yvon Bedard 109, the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour will go green at Oxford Plains Speedway on Friday, August 22 to make a Friday/Saturday doubleheader as part of the 52nd All That’s Metal Oxford 250 weekend.

“We’re certainly disappointed for the great fans of Quebec that filled Circuit Ste-Croix from the moment they opened the gates on July 5,” said Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour managing partner Cris Michaud. “It was our complete intention to return to Riverside but the Municipality has made it clear to us that August 17 was not an option. We’d like to thank the Mayberry family for graciously offering to take on this event in support of our teams.”

With the schedule update announced today, the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour will now crown the Quebec Challenge Series champion on Friday night of the 52nd All That’s Metal Oxford 250 weekend program before continuing onto the originally scheduled Oxford 125 on Saturday, August 23 for a new doubleheader showdown on one of New England’s biggest stages!

The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour returns to Oxford Plains Speedway in a big way to on Friday and Saturday, August 22 and 23 to headline the first two days of the 52nd annual Oxford 250 weekend. Friday’s Yvon Bedard 109 will crown the Quebec Challenge Series champion before the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour teams make adjustments for the Oxford 125 that headlines the annual ‘Night Before the 250’ Saturday program!
