Laperle, Polewarczyk Battle to Second and Third
Loudon, NH – Tiverton, RI’s Ray Parent took his “feel good” story to another level with a payday worth over $6,000 on Saturday, September 22 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, picking up his first-ever ACT victory in the 4th Annual Bond ACT Invitational. Parent upset Serie ACT Castrol Champion Patrick Laperle, and former Invitational winner Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. for the emotional win.
Two-time Invitational winner Eddie Macdonald demoralized the field in the early going, charging from the 26th starting position while ACT Rookie of the Year Jimmy Hebert flew to the front. Hebert had made it from sixth to third in the first lap, and by lap 12 had powered by Former Oxford Plains Speedway Champion Ricky Rolfe for the point. Hebert began to pull away until teen sensation Emily Packard heartbreakingly backed into the wall on lap 15, ending her day.

LOUDON, N.H. (Sept. 22, 2012) – With only one top-five to his name through the first seven races on the American-Canadian Tour this season, Ray Parent didn’t set his expectations very high as the series made its annual stop at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. But thanks to a hard-working crew and a smartly run race, Parent picked up one of the biggest victories of his career at Saturday’s fourth annual Bond Auto Parts ACT Invitational.
“I can’t say enough about how hard my guys work,” said Parent, a native of Tiverton, R.I. “This is just unbelievable. This feels so good and it’s so great to see all that hard work pay off with us standing here in Victory Lane at New Hampshire.”

Webb 100.
Coby took the lead on a late restart and coasted across the finish line after the caution came out for a hard crash involving Ted Christopher, who was running second and in contention for his sixth career win at NHMS before being taken out by rival Donny Lia.
