OPS NEWS: 19-year-old Joey Polewarczyk Jr. wins Dunkin' Donuts ACT 150
"Joey Pole" beats two of the best,
captures Dunkin' Donuts ACT 150
OXFORD, Maine – Ricky Rolfe and Eddie MacDonald provided much of the entertainment value with their two- and three-deep drive through traffic Saturday night, but 19-year-old Joey Polewarczyk Jr. otherwise dominated the Dunkin' Donuts 150 for his second American-Canadian Tour victory of the season.
It was the youngster getting the jump on the restart, though, actually extending his lead to almost a full straightaway prior to the second yellow with a dozern laps remaining.
"The car was great on the outside. The outside groove was really great tonight," MacDonald said. "I just love racing here. Joey did an awesome job."
Matt Williams highlighted accompanying feature action with a 30-lap Allen's Coffee Flavored Brandy Strictly Stock feature win. Williams caught and passed B.J. Chapman in traffic with under 10 laps remaining.
OPS action continues Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. with the Acceleration Series.
Championship Series competition resumes next Saturday, June 28 at 6:30 p.m. Round one of Unicel Motor Mayhem is scheduled for Friday, June 27, also at 6:30.
