DID YOU KNOW?

 

  • RPM Motorsports has won seven of the last eight ACT championships, including the last two with Brian Hoar behind the wheel.
  • Brian Hoar sat on the pole for this race in 2009, his first race with RPM Motorsports.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

 

BRIAN HOAR, Driver of the No. 37 GossCars.com Dodge, On opening the season this weekend at Lee USA Speedway: “I love the track. I always seem to run well there, and I can't wait to get back there. It's a really good track for our Late Model package.

 

“I like Lee. I've always liked Lee, even when I was there in the (NASCAR K&N Pro Series East) cars. The last couple of years, I've been really fast at Lee – but I don't totally feel vindicated there. I've led a lot of laps, but like last year, I just used it up by the end. I had nothing left for the leaders over the last 20 laps or so.”

 

On starting the championship chase with good finishes early in the season: “Obviously, it's not the end of the world if you have a bad race, but it's a helluva lot more fun to get off on the right foot. You've kind of got to plan on having a bad race or two at some point in the year, but the nice thing is if you can put those bad races off until the end – then you can build up a point lead and have some padding.

 

“I'm very confident we'll go down and be competitive right off (at Lee). I haven't gone there with (RPM Motorsports owner Rick Paya) yet and not had a great chance. I'm looking forward to what happens.”

 

On the track configuration at Lee USA Speedway: “I feel like it races like a bigger track. It's got real straightaways, serious braking in the corner where you really plant the nose, there's a wall all the way around the outside of the track, and you've got an inside groove. You kind of go from the outside to the inside getting into the turn and you really try to hold that apex.

 

“The other thing about Lee is that it races different than it practices. You may feel like you've got a good car in practice or qualifying, and then all of a sudden in the feature it's totally different The track is really old and it doesn't have a lot of grip. It loses grip quickly and then the cars really start sliding around.

 

“It almost acts like a progressive banked track. It certainly makes for an interesting race.”

 

RICK PAYA, RPM Motorsports owner and crew chief for the No. 37 GossCars.com Dodge, On racing at Lee USA Speedway: “I love it. It's a very challenging track. It's unique, so it's hard to get a handle on it. I really always look forward to going to Lee.

 

“It has an inside groove and an outside groove, especially as the tires start to wear out. The wall all the way around the track on the outside is intimidating for a lot of people. I like it. It's a challenging track from a setup standpoint.”

 

 

 

UP NEXT

 

The ACT Late Model Tour heads to the Merchants Bank 150 at Thunder Road International Speedbowl on Sunday, May 1 for the second race of the season... Brian Hoar last won at Thunder Road to close out the 1999 season. That year, Hoar won two of the five races contested on the quirky, historic .25-mile oval.

Hodgson PR : South Boston Speedway Race Preview

THE STORY

 

Cody Hodgson of Escalon, Calif., seeks his second straight Top-10 finish to start his career when the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East stops at South Boston Speedway in South Boston, Va., for the South Boston 150 on Saturday, April 16. Hodgson, who is running for the Sunoco Rookie of the Year award in the series, tested at South Boston last week and is looking to carry the momentum of a 10th-place run in the season opener at Greenville Pickens Speedway two weeks ago into the second event on the 2011 schedule.

 

THE FACTS

 

WHO: Cody Hodgson, Escalon, Calif.

TEAM: Dave Davis Motorsports No. 03 Ocala Gran Prix Dodge

CREW CHIEF: Lonnie Rush, Mooresville, N.C.

 

BEST CAREER SOUTH BOSTON SPEEDWAY FINISH: N/A

LAST RACE AT SOUTH BOSTON SPEEDWAY: N/A

 

WHAT: NASCAR K&N Pro Series East South Boston 150

WHERE: South Boston Speedway, South Boston, Va., (.400-mile oval)

WHEN: 7 p.m., Saturday, April 16

 

NASCAR K&N Pro Series East

NEXT RACE: April 28, Blue Ox 100, Richmond International Raceway, Richmond, Va. (.750-mile D-oval)

POINTS POSITION (after 1 event): 10th

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

 

  • Cody Hodgson finished 10th at Greenville Pickens Speedway two weeks ago, giving him a Top-10 finish in his very first race in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.
  • Dave Davis Motorsports finished 7th in this race in 2009 with driver Sean Caisse.
  • When he's back home in Escalon, Calif., Cody Hodgson is a big fan of wakeboarding.

 

 

 

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

 

CODY HODGSON, Driver of the No. 03 Ocala Gran Prix Dodge, On getting back to the track after a solid debut performance at Greenville Pickens Speedway: “I've been really anxious since Greenville to get back in the car. I was glad we got to to test last Friday at South Boston. It went really well.

 

“We were really happy, especially when we compared ourselves to some of the other fast cars that were there. We were really comparable with (Max Gresham, who won the pole and the race at South Boston in 2010). That was really good, especially for my first time being there.”

 

On his impressions of South Boston: “It's a little rough. But it's fun to drive on; it's a fast little track and you really run some good speeds on it.

 

“I really like the short track stuff. It's a little more like karting, where you can feel the horsepower, feel the car and what it's doing, all of that stuff.”

 

On his goals from week to week in the series: “They're pretty much the same as they were (at the start of the season). After the first race, I know where I'm at with my skill level and I know what kind of equipment and what kind of cars I have. I knew at end of Greenville that we were capable of a Top-5 if everything had gone right.

 

“I think the biggest thing is making sure I qualify well. The main thing is just being consistent – starting up front, being in the Top-5 and pulling out a win or two would be a perfect season for us. We're definitely capable of that.”

 

DAVE DAVIS, owner of Dave Davis Motorsports and the No. 03 Ocala Gran Prix Dodge, on his outlook for this weekend: “It's a hard track to pass at. Qualifying up front and staying up there is going to be the key to the whole race. Definitely after Greenville, I think Cody has a better idea of hard he has to run at the beginning of a race. (Greenville) was kind of my fault, because I just paced him too long. He was a rocket ship over the last 30 laps, and I probably should have let him go sooner – but I just was worried about wearing out the tires.

 

“But I'm feeling really good about this weekend. We had a really, really good test (at South Boston). It was better than I even thought it would be. I think Cody definitely knows a little better what he needs to do. He really picked up (speed). We ran a mock (qualifying) run that was faster than the pole speed last year. The car was really awesome – really, really good – on 100-lap old tires.”

 

 

 

UP NEXT

 

The K&N Pro Series East will make its first appearance of the season on the undercard of a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, as the series heads to Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va., for the Blue Ox 100 on Thursday, April 28... Five of the series' 12 events in 2011 are held in conjunction with one of NASCAR's national series, including two stops at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the season finale at Dover International Speedway.

Dragon PR : Lee USA Speedway Race Preview

THE STORY

 

Brent Dragon of Milton, Vt., rolls on with the ACT Late Model Tour as it opens the 2011 season with the NH Governor's Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, N.H., on Sunday afternoon, April 17. Dragon has competed on the Tour every year since its inception in 1992 and is fourth on the all-time series win list with nine career victories. Though he's never won at Lee USA, he does consider it one of his favorite stops on the circuit – in part because it reminds him so much of Airborne Speedway in Plattsburgh, N.Y., where he won multiple Late Model track championships. Dragon will compete this weekend in a car fielded by Avery Motorsports, part of a joint effort with his own Dragon Motorsports team this season.

 

 

 

 

THE FACTS

 

WHO: Brent Dragon, Milton, Vt.

TEAM: No. 55 Furniture World of VT/Beverage Mart/Charlesbois Freightliner Chevrolet

CREW CHIEF: Donnie Avery, Ashland, N.H.

 

BEST CAREER LEE USA SPEEDWAY FINISH: 6th (3 times)

LAST RACE AT LEE USA SPEEDWAY: 7th (June 2010)

 

WHAT: ACT Late Model Tour NH Governor's Cup 150

WHERE: Lee USA Speedway, Lee, N.H. (.333-mile oval)

WHEN: 1 p.m., Sunday, April 17

 

ACT LATE MODEL TOUR

NEXT RACE: May 1, Merchants Bank 150, Thunder Road International Speedbowl, Barre, Vt. (.25-mile oval)

FINAL POINTS POSITION (2010): 3rd

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

 

  • Brent Dragon owns 187 career ACT Late Model Tour starts, the most in series history.
  • The last time Brent Dragon competed in an ACT-sanctioned race in a car fielded by an owner other than himself was in 1995, when he drove for Ellery Packard.
  • Brent Dragon has more starts, Top-10 finishes (123) and laps completed (21,669) than anybody in ACT history.
  • An avid bowhunter in the offseason, Brent Dragon has entered Maine's annual moose permit lottery in 2011.

 

 

 

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

 

BRENT DRAGON, Driver of the No. 55 Furniture World of VT/Beverage Mart/Charlesbois Freightliner Chevrolet, On racing at Lee USA Speedway: “I like Lee a lot. It reminds me a lot of the old Airborne (Speedway) track.

 

“It's the way the track is pretty well worn out. The cars change a lot throughout the race. You've just got to be ready for that, that's the big thing. They really change from the start to the finish of the race. After you've been going there a few years you start to figure that out. I think it's why the locals always seem to have huge advantage over us when we go there.”

 

On driving for Avery Motorsports for the first time: “I'm pretty excited about it. I feel like we've had a lot of time to really get both of the cars ready.

 

“It's going to be different just driving for somebody else. I'll try and treat it as if it were mine – that's the only way to approach it. You still have to go out and finish every race. That's what it's going to take to be in it for the championship at the end of the year.”

 

On the importance of getting off to a strong start in 2011: “You've got to start off good. It makes the season go a lot better, that's for sure. People are chasing you. It's so hard to make up ground when it's the same guys week after week.

 

“Early in the year, there are so many cars you can make up points. Later in the year, though, it's always the 10 or 12 guys that travel everywhere. That just makes it so hard to make up ground.”

 

 

 

UP NEXT

 

The ACT Late Model Tour heads to the Merchants Bank 150 at Thunder Road International Speedbowl on Sunday, May 1 for the second race of the season... Thunder Road has always been a good track for Brent Dragon, who is a four-time race winner at the historic quarter-mile. Most notably, Dragon won the 2006 Milk Bowl at Thunder Road.

Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, makes his official ACT Late Model Tour debut with RPM Motorsports when the 2011 season begins with the NH Governor's Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, N.H., on Sunday afternoon, April 17. Theriault left his family-owned team during the offseason to drive for the seven-time ACT championship organization, and this will be his first points race with RPM after competing in two non-championship events at New Smyrna (Fla.)

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

 

AUSTIN THERIAULT, Driver of the No. 57 Varney Insurance Ford, On his impressions of Lee USA Speedway: “It was a cool track. As a new driver, everything there was new, but we went out and we got a Top-10. I really like the track. It seems to suit my driving style. I remember as the race went on, we got better and better. I don't know if it was me or the car getting better and better.

 

“Being back at tracks we've seen before, that is going to be the key thing for us this year.”

 

On the importance of qualifying better in 2011: “That will be a big step for us (qualifying). Don't get me wrong, the cars were great last year. But I think we'll unload off the trailer better this year and be closer to where we want to be right off. (Team owner Rick Paya) has setups down pat. We wont' be scrambling from track to track every week, and that will really help our qualifying.

 

“But whose to say we won't have times where the car doesn't unload well? I'm sure at times that will happen, but I can tell you I'm pretty pumped for all of the packages Rick has for me.”

 

On the track configuration at Lee USA Speedway: “It's a unique track. It's a fun track, too. You can pass pretty easily there as the race goes on, as the track gets a little slicker. Drivers usually like a track they can pass on.”

 

RICK PAYA, RPM Motorsports owner, On racing at Lee USA Speedway: “I love it. It's a very challenging track. It's unique, so it's hard to get a handle on it. I really always look forward to going to Lee.

Austin Theriault garnered significant attention in his Thunder Road debut in June of 2010, qualifying for the VT Governor's Cup there and finishing seventh in his first race on the quirky quarter-mile track. ACT president and Thunder Road owner Tom Curley called it at the time “the most impressive Thunder Road debut since Dave Dion.”

Communiqué pour publication immédiate

 

Le logo de l'événement sur le capot de ses voitures ACT et NASCAR Canada

Le vétéran Donald Theetge sera ambassadeur du

NAPA Pièces d'auto 200

présenté par Dodge

sur les pistes du Québec et du Nord-Est des États-Unis.

 

Montréal, le 13 avril 2011 -  La seule manche canadienne d'une des séries majeures de NASCAR, le NAPA Pièces d'auto 200 présenté par Dodge, aura un ambassadeur de qualité à compter du prochain week-end sur le circuit de Lee au New Hampshire. C'est en effet lors de cette première épreuve du championnat ACT que la voiture no 80 du vétéran québécois Donald Theetge affichera sur son capot le logo officiel de l'événement NASCAR Nationwide des 19 et 20 août prochain, au circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. Au New Hampshire, comme à neuf autres reprises par la suite, jusqu'à la mi-août, le populaire coureur de Boischatel sera alors au volant de son bolide LMS. Mais il y a plus : puisque Theetge disputera pour la première fois cet été les manches trifluvienne et montréalaise de la série canadienne de NASCAR, il affichera aussi sur son autre voiture, le logo distinctif de l'événement dans cet autre championnat.

For immediate release

Event logo displayed on the hood of his ACT and NASCAR Canada racecars

 Veteran Donald Theetge Named Ambassador Of The NAPA Auto Parts 200 Presented by Dodge On the Quebec and Northeastern United States Race Tracks Scene

 

Montréal, April 13, 2011 - The NAPA Auto Parts 200 presented by Dodge, the only Canadian stop on the NASCAR series major tours, will have an ambassador starting next weekend at Lee USA Speedway in New Hampshire for the opening round of the 2011 American-Canadian Tour (ACT). The event will mark the introduction of the new livery on the hood of the number 80 racecar of veteran Quebec driver Donald Theetge, promoting the August 19-20 NASCAR Nationwide event on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. In New Hampshire and for nine other ACT race events until the middle of August, the famous driver from Boischatel will be competing with his LMS car displaying the official logo of the Montréal race. Additionally, Theetge will, for the first time ever, be competing this summer in the NASCAR Canada rounds in Trois-Rivières and Montréal displaying the same livery.

 

« Nous sommes fort heureux d'avoir conclu ce partenariat avec Donald, une des figures les plus sympathiques du stock-car québécois, un grand champion fort populaire notamment dans la région de Québec et dans l'Est de la province, a expliqué François Dumontier, président d'Octane Management et promoteur délégué du NAPA Pièces d'auto 200, présenté par Dodge. Il s'agit d'un excellent ambassadeur qui nous permettra cet été de faire connaître notre événement sur les circuits LMS du Québec et du nord-est américain, d'en parler avec les amateurs qu'il pourra inviter directement à venir l'encourager lors de sa toute première participation à notre course de la série canadienne de NASCAR. D'ailleurs, nous lui souhaitons la meilleure des chances lors de sa première participation au NAPA Autopro 100, le samedi 20 août.»


Donald Theetge poursuit cette année une carrière entreprise au début des années 90. Dès 1998, il était vice-champion de la Super Série Prolab, un exploit répété en 2003 en série Suprême ADL. En 2004, il était champion de la série LMS et à nouveau vice-champion en 2005. Lui qui revendique 14 victoires depuis 2006 en série ACT Castrol, a aussi été couronné champion en 2006 et en 2009. Il revendique deux victoires dans la série ACT américaine et a aussi pris part à quatorze épreuves de série CASCAR au début des années 2000, signant une 4e place à Toronto en 2003. On l'a aussi vu en série Grand-Am continental, notamment à Daytona et à Trois-Rivières.

« Je suis bien heureux d'avoir conclu cette entente avec les organisateurs du NAPA Pièces d'auto 200 présenté par Dodge, a expliqué le nouvel ambassadeur. Cette année, j'ai une excellente raison de collaborer à la promotion de l'événement auprès des amateurs de stock-car du Québec et du Nord-Est américain. Pour la première fois, je vais participer à la course de la série canadienne de NASCAR au circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. C'est très excitant, mais j'aurai besoin du soutien de tous mes admirateurs, car je n'ai pas l'intention d'y faire seulement de la figuration. J'y serai pour me mesurer aux meneurs. »

Les supporteurs de Donald Theetge pourront donc le voir en action avant le rendez-vous montréalais sur les circuits de Riverside (Sainte-Croix), Montmagny, Chaudière (Vallée Jonction) et St-Eustache, de même qu'au Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières au Québec et ceux de Lee et Loudon, au New Hampshire.

"We are very pleased to have secured this partnership with Donald, one of the most respected figures among representatives from the Quebec stock car scene, a great champion who is very popular in Eastern Quebec particularly in the Quebec City region," explained François Dumontier, President of Octane Management and delegated promoter of the NAPA Auto Parts 200, presented by Dodge. "He is an excellent choice as an ambassador and will promote our event this summer in the Québec ACT Castrol Edge Series, and on the American Northeast tracks, mingling with fans to talk about the Montréal race and inviting them to come and cheer him on for his first-ever NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. We wish him all the best for his first NAPA Autopro 100 race on Saturday, August 20."

 Donald Theetge began competing in the early 1990s. He was champion runner-up in the 1998 Quebec-based Prolab Super Series and in the 2003 ADL Supreme Series.

 "I am very happy to have reached an agreement with the organizers of the NAPA Auto Parts 200 presented by Dodge,"said the new ambassador. "This year, I have an excellent reason to promote the event and invite Quebec and American stock car fans to come and see me compete for the first time on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. This is going to be a very exciting moment for me, but I will need their support to cheer me on as I battle with the leaders."
