Swift Springs Partners With Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour For 2026

Swift Springs partners with Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour for 2026. Officials with the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour are excited to announce a new partnership with the California-headquartered Swift Springs for the 2026 season. The world-renowned brand will award a spring in each event on the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour as well as prizes at the season-ending banquet! Swift Springs first entered the market in 1997 as a division of the Japan-based Tokyo Hatsujo Manufacturing Co, Ltd. and rapidly took the racing world by storm. Swift Springs quickly became one of the most recognized and respected names in performance coil springs from endurance events like Le Mans to Formula 3 and here on the short track level. Through world-renowned engineering, strict quality control and processing metal alloys in-house, Swift Springs builds the lightest in weight and the most durable springs on the market with unmatched consistency while still being cost effective. The partnership will award a certificate good for one spring product to the second-place finisher in each Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour event, including the non-point Vermont Milk Bowl presented by Northfield Savings Bank on October 4th. Swift Springs has also awarded the organization four certificates, each good for a pair of springs to be awarded via blind-draw to 100% participants among the Late Model competitors on the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour, Serie ACT Quebec, Thunder Road Speedbowl and White Mountain Motorsports Park! Speedbowl Memorabilia "We're proud to have Swift Springs join the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour this year," said ACT General Manager Cale King. "We share the same values, especially in cost effectiveness, and I think they'll fit right in with our teams 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 and Pro Truck Challenge, 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 19th.
