Brian Hoar Secures 8th ACT Title with $10,000+ Quebec Weekend Sweep
ACT Awards $80,000+ in Doubleheader Weekend FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACT-091211-53 Waterbury, VT – Williston, Vermont’s Brian Hoar secured his 8th career American-Canadian Tour Championship following a sweep of the doubleheader weekend in Quebec. Hoar earned over $10,000 for his Rick Paya Motorsports team with wins in the “Showdown at Chaudiere” at Autodrome Chaudiere in Vallee-Jct., QC and the Riverside Can-Am 200 at Riverside Speedway in Ste-Croix, QC. |
Hoar started the weekend by piloting his Goss Dodge Charger to a dominating performance on Saturday, September 10 in the fourth annual “Showdown at Chaudiere.” He led the U.S. team to the overall victory and pocketed $5,500 after the $500 bonus. His RPM team then headed to Circuit Riverside Speedway for the previously postponed Can-Am 200. Hoar used a last lap pass to earn an apparent second place finish, but then inherited his second win of the weekend following a post race disqualification and picked up the $5,000 check. Hoar’s win on Sunday secured his third straight ACT title, all of which came with the Rick Paya-led RPM team, and his eighth career title. It was also his 33rd career win, the most of any driver in the history of the ACT Late Model Tour. ACT competitors saw overflow crowds both days this weekend as the ACT Late Model Tour and its sister series, the Série ACT Castrol, competed in a doubleheader north of the border. The two events saw a combined purse of over $80,000 for the two events. The big money events of the ACT season kicked off with $120,000+ ACT All-Star Challenge at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) and the $5,000 to win Labor Day Classic. They will continue with the $75,000+ Third annual ACT Invitational at NHMS, the 49th Annual People’s United Bank Milk Bowl at Thunder Road with an over $75,000 purse and the season finale Fall Foliage 300 at Airborne Speedway. With the title wrapped up, Hoar can now turn his focus to completing the NHMS sweep by winning the ACT Invitational on Saturday, September 24. Hoar won the first-ever ACT Late Model Challenge at NHMS in August. -30- |
