Tour’s Rule Package Allows Mixture of Local Racers and Regional Stars
NAPLES, ME (July 9, 2007) – When a short track racing tour comes to a track and can do battle with the top guns who race weekly at that facility, it is a very good thing for the fans – and that is exactly what will be in store on Saturday, July 14th at Thompson International Speedway.
BARRE, VT – New Hampshire stock car racer Joey “Pole” Polewarczyk, Jr. will compete in the 25th CARQUEST Vermont Governor’s Cup 100 at Barre’s Thunder Road on Thursday. The 19 year-old Hudson, NH driver holds the one-lap time trial record at the historic ¼-mile oval, and is one of the leading members of the “New Breed” of Late Model racers in New England.
WATERBURY, VT – Entries for “The People’s Race” – the 23rd Annual M&M Beverage Enduro 200 auto race at Barre’s Thunder Road – are pouring into the main office in Waterbury. The Enduro, which will run on Sunday, July 29, is a 200-lap “survival” race with over 100 amateur drivers piloting virtually street-legal automobiles. Cars will line up three abreast in a standing start as the cheering fans count down to begin the race.
ST-EUSTACHE, QC – The buzz is beginning to build over the American-Canadian Tour’s first ACTion Super Series stock car race of the season at Autodrome St-Eustache near Montreal on Saturday, July 28. The 200-lap Late Model race will pay the winner a guaranteed $6,000 (US) out of the $40,000+ purse. The best short track racing teams from the US-based ACT Late Model Tour will square off against the top challengers from the Série ACT Castrol in Quebec and Ontario, with more than 45 total teams expected to attempt to qualify.
OXFORD, ME – Rain has postponed the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) Time Warner Cable 100 stock car event at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday, July 7. Nearly 50 Late Model race teams from Oxford Plains Speedway and the ACT Late Model Tour swelled the pit area before the rains came. The Time Warner Cable was to be the sixth round of the 2007 ACT Late Model Tour championship season, but has been moved to August 11.
