Barre, VT — Officials with the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour announced an expanded and reinvigorated partnership with Five Star Race Car Bodies based in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. Five Star Bodies has been named the Official Body of ACT Competition, adding expanded prizes to the traveling international Tour as well as the Serie ACT Quebec sister-series and tracks Thunder Road Speedbowl and White Mountain Motorsports Park.

Starting in 1978 by producing sheet metal panels for local racers, Five Star Bodies got their fabled start that took the industry by storm. From then on came expansion and diversification into all disciplines of motorsports. Five Star’s multi-unit facility is on the leading edge of technology, production capability, and logistics to support projects big and small while keeping their focus on the weekly racers that have built their business over the last forty-eight years.

As in the past, Five Star Bodies will continue to support both the winner and the tenth-place finisher in each Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour event. Five Star Bodies will also continue to contribute prizes to the season-ending banquet of champions, expanding to the four-cylinder classes as the global powerhouse continues to grow their Mini Stock line.

“We’re proud to continue growing our relationship with the American-Canadian Tour and its racers,” said Chris Wiess of Five Star Race Car Bodies. “ACT has long been one of the premier Late Model touring series in the Northeast, and I’m excited to attend the Northeast Classic once again at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to kick off the season.”

Wiess continued, “It’s an exciting time for Five Star as the ACT Tour continues transitioning to our NextGen Late Model Stock body and we’re looking forward to seeing more teams adopt the platform across ACT competition.”

“We’re beyond excited to expand our partnership with Five Star Bodies,” said ACT Managing Partner Cris Michaud. “Their customer service and professionalism are second-to-none, just like their product, and we’re happy to carry their brand across the region.”

The Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour will kick off the 2026 season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the 6th annual Northeast Classic. Complete with the PASS Super Late Models, Modified Racing Series, R&R Street Stock Open Series, Pro Truck Challenge and Sunoco 604 Modifieds, the Northeast Classic will once again give Northeast racers their chance to take on our region’s great palace of stock car racing on Sunday, April 19.
