For the third in five years, when the dust settled on American Canadian Tour cars in September, it was Eddie MacDonald celebrating in victory lane.

It was the third ACT Invitational victory since 2009 for MacDonald.

Wayne Helliwell Jr. of Dover, N.H. was second and Brian Hoar of Williston, Vt third.

Rookie Cole Custer won the pole and completed the weekend sweep with a victory in the K&N Pro Series East North American Power 100 at NHMS.

It was the second victory of the season for the 15-year old, who is the son of Stewart-Haas Racing exec Joe Custer.

Daniel Suarez was second and Cale Conley third.
