Barre, VT—Brad Babb came into the season looking for his first career American-Canadian Tour victory. He and his Joey Laquerre–owned team earned it in perhaps the most dramatic way possible on Sunday, May 3.
Babb took the lead from Scott Dragon with 18 laps to go and went on to win the Merchants Bank 150 at Barre, VT’s Thunder Road. The win came following a pre-race tribute to Laquerre’s late grandson Joey M. Laquerre, leading to an emotional celebration in Victory Lane.
“I just can’t believe we won at Thunder Road,” Windham, ME’s Babb said. “It means the world to me. I can’t even describe it. This is 100% for Lil Joey. I couldn’t do it without Big Joey.” (more…)

Oxford Plains Speedway Race Report
OXFORD, Maine – Bradley Babb of Windham, Maine, finished 14 in the PASS North Series Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, April 21. Babb, the reigning 2012 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Maine state champion, won the pole position for the event after running away with his qualifying heat, and the No. 14 Babb Wood Contractors/McGoldrick Bros. Blasting Chevrolet ran inside the Top-10 throughout the event before being shuffled back on a late-race restart in the outside groove. Still, the finish marked Babb’s best career Oxford Plains Speedway Super Late Model finish and was a good testing ground for the TD Bank Oxford 250 later this summer.
