Dover, NH\u2019s Wayne Helliwell, Jr. leads the field by a 2-point margin in search of his first ACT Championship at a track where he finished a stout third in 2011, but his title hopes are under attack from ACT\u2019s biggest stars.<br \/>\n<!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>Hudson, NH\u2019s Joey Polewarczyk, Jr., who rides second on the Tour, is focused on the point lead, but with only a nine point cushion over third place point man Brian Hoar he cannot afford even the slightest mistake. After a disappointing finish last time out, eight-time and defending ACT champion Hoar looks to bounce back at White Mountain Motorsports Park where he claimed victory in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Lancaster, NH\u2019s Quinny Welch will expect some better luck at \u201cThe Park\u201d, where he is a multi-time and defending champion of the weekly Late Model series. Welch has been disappointed by mechanical failures for much of 2012 on the American Canadian Tour, but has put the pressure on himself to perform at the track he calls home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve really been building up to this race at White Mountain,\u201d explained Welch. \u201cI\u2019ve been racing there the last three weekends to try to get tuned for this race, and I just know I won\u2019t be satisfied with anything less than a win here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Young sensation Austin Theriault will focus on extending a hot start to 2012 and a sixth place finish in this event last year to take a shot at the point lead himself. Fifth place veteran Randy Potter will look to improve on his runner-up finish in 2011 to jump into the top group of championship contenders.<\/p>\n<p>All the action begins this Saturday, June 23rd at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, NH.
