North Woodstock, New Hampshire – Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson nailed down his first-ever Pro All Stars Super Late Model victory Sunday afternoon in the Foley Oil 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, New Hampshire.
Polewarczyk certainly earned his trip to victory lane, working tirelessly in an effort to get by six-time PASS Super Late Model champion Johnny Clark of Farmingdale, Maine. Clark, seeking his first victory of the year, led most of the race before Polewarczyk took command for good.
Polewarczyk and Clark waged a tremendous, extended battle that included the eventual winner ‘giving back’ the lead when he was adjudged to have jumped the gun on a restart versus Clark. The six-time series titlist wouldn’t make it easy for Polewarczyk, as he seeks to snap an extended dry spell on the circuit.

N. Woodstock, NH – Dillon Moltz got the jump over Eddie MacDonald on a restart with 16 laps remaining and held on for his first career American-Canadian Tour (ACT) victory in the “Showdown in the Mountains” White Mountain 150 at N. Woodstock, NH’s White Mountain Motorsports Park on Sunday, July 24.
The Waterford, CT driver, who is in his first full season competing on the ACT Late Model Tour, dominated the middle stages of the event before MacDonald got around him following the race’s fifth caution on lap 96. MacDonald maintained the top spot through a lap 119 restart, but when the seventh and final caution came out for defending ACT Champion Wayne Helliwell, Jr’s flat right front tire on lap 134, Moltz was able to take advantage.
Bobby Therrien started on the pole and led the first five laps before surrendering the point to White Mountain Late Model point leader Quinny Welch. Therrien sped back by on lap 18, while Welch developed overheating problems shortly thereafter.

Mike O’Sullivan in the 08 car led the starting grid to green with a competitive field. Jacob Dore dominated the race and took the checkers for his first series win.
Dore of Sanford, ME. started on the outside pole and took the lead early on, passing Mike O’Sullivan of Springfield, MA, on lap 9 of the 100 lap event. Barry Gray of Belchertown, MA. used the few cautions in the race to his advantage to come from a starting position of tenth to take a second place finish.
The field having split into three packs saw Gray work his way up to fifth on lap 47 when Corey Casagrande of Stafford Springs, CT. brought out the first caution of the night, on lap 47 in turn four as he broke the upper third link bar. On lap 58 mechanical issues sent the 99 of James Miller into the turn three wall, bringing out the red flag due to half-a-dozen tires rolling onto the infield.
