Brian Hoar White Mountain Motorsports Park Preview
THE STORY
Brian Hoar of Williston, Vt., returns to ACT Late Model Tour competition this week for the White Mountain 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., on Saturday, June 23. The eight-time ACT champion has three career wins at White Mountain in the RPM Motorsports No. 37 GossCars.com Dodge on his resume, and he’s hoping that past experience will help catapult him back into the series points lead this weekend. Hoar sits third in the standings, just 11 points out of the lead, with six races remaining in the season. After battling tire issues in his most recent ACT outing, Hoar got things back on track with a second-place finish last weekend in the I Am Vermont Strong 100 at Devil’s Bowl Speedway – the second of four races this season in the Vermont State Championship Late Model Series.
