Lee USA Speedway Race Report
LEE, N.H. – Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, picked up where he left off last season, finishing third in the ACT Late Model Tour season-opening NH Governor’s Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, N.H., on Sunday, April 15. The finish marked Theriault’s seventh consecutive Top-10 finish in ACT competition dating back to July of 2011, and it was also the best career finish at Lee USA Speedway for the driver of the AT Racing No. 57 Pelletier Ford Ford Fusion.
