Theriault started 11th but faded to  mid-pack before a pit stop before the halfway mark.

Trying to march to the front was a battle in itself. Every time we&#8217;d  pass a couple cars, there&#8217;d be a slow car on the outside. We just rode  around for half the race. <\/p>\n<p>Towards the end, people started coming  back to us. I was pretty happy with the crew. We had a tough day. We  had some distributor problems. The handling could have been better, but  we got a top-10 and that&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FINISH IN  THE TOP-10 YET AGAIN?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know we&#8217;re top-10 material. It can  only get better from this. Sure, there will be bad days at some point,  but I&#8217;m still pretty encouraged right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, finished 10th in the ACT Late Model Tour ACT 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Saturday, June 19.
