18-Year-Old BKR Development Driver On Quick Learning Curve
Austin Theriault hasn’t been home since graduating from high school on June 8.
In a span of 14 days, Theriault has traveled from his Fort Kent home to Milwaukee, back to the race shop in western Maine, to the White Mountains of New Hampshire twice, back to the midwest for a race in Michigan and then back to the race shop in the Pine Tree State.
The 18-year-old’s racing road trip still isn’t over yet with an ACT Late Model Tour race in North Woodstock, N.H., this weekend, but Theriault is holding up just fine. The Brad Keselowski Racing development driver has competed in a pair of marquee midweek Super Late Model events during the busy stretch – and though the final results might not have been what Theriault wanted, he does feel like he’s taking steps in the right direction.

Austin Theriault: ACT Late Model Tour
Oxford Plains Speedway Race Report
Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, finished fifth in the ACT Late Model Tour Armed Forces Day 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, May 20. Theriault started third in the 33-car field, but a tire issue that plagued many of the ACT teams in qualifying threw a curveball at the No. 57 Pelletier Ford Ford Fusion team. Teams were allowed to use new tires for the Armed Forces Day 150, but with the change in rubber, the car never handled as well as it had earlier in the day. Still, Theriault posted his third Top-5 finish in four starts this season and closed on the ACT Late Model Tour points leaders.
