WATERBURY, Vt. — After a one-year delay, the New England Late Model Challenge Cup is debuting this year — and it will be even bigger than originally planned. A guaranteed minimum point fund of $14,000 has been posted for the Challenge Cup. The $100 registration fee for each driver will also be added to the point fund in full. ACT will also honor the tire awards of the 2020 pre-pandemic raffle winners if they register for this year’s Challenge Cup. In other words, cars need to be 100 percent ACT legal for drivers to earn Challenge Cup points. All weekly Late Model features at participating tracks will be eligible for the Challenge Cup. Registered drivers can earn Challenge Cup points at any of the nine tracks. ACT Late Model Tour events and open events at these tracks are not eligible for Challenge Cup points.
