GM Motorsport National Stock Car Series

GM Motorsport National Stock Car Series event winners and champions, 1989-1992. The GM Motorsport National Stock Car Series consisted of all Canadian events on the ACT Pro Stock Tour schedule. The 1989 event at Cayuga, Ontario (won by Butch Miller) was a non-ACT event. The series also included the Bud Triple Crown in 1991 and 1992, which offered a whopping $50,000 bonus if one driver swept all three events. Junior Hanley was successful both years, and earned over $500,000 during those two seasons alone, thanks in no small part to the Bud Triple Crown. What’s more interesting is that Hanley drove for the Molson Brewery at the time!
