RAIN SHORTENS SCHEDULE AT DELAWARE SPEEDWAY

Steve Book wins Transmission Direct Enduro Race

 

            Heavy rain and some thunderstorm activity put a temporary halt to the action at Delaware Speedway 5 laps into the Demar Aggregate Trucks feature race.  Devon Bloemendal , winner of the night’s first Truck heat, had been leading with Matt Korcina in second when the 25 lap feature was called because of the weather.

 

            After a 45-minute delay to allow the worst of the storm pass over the half-mile track, the Transmission Direct Enduro cars came off pit road for their 35 lapper. 

            Doug Capp was the early leader and several cars endured some slipping and sliding in the first few laps but were able to right themselves.  Steve Book took over the lead on lap 9 and held on to win the race despite a bumper-to-bumper threat from David McCullough, who had won the division’s second heat earlier in the night.  Piet Blaaubeor made several impressive runs to avoid ending third but that’s where he landed.

            On lap 19, Capp had an apparent mechanical problem and had to leave the track.

            The race’s only caution was called on lap 23 as Dave Goertz hit the wall in turn three and sustained some damage to the right front of his #15.

            The other Transmission Direct Enduro heat race was taken by Todd Head.

            The second Demar Aggregate Truck heat was won by Paul Fothergill.

            NASCAR Late Model Heats were won by Dion Verhoeven and Scott Lindsay.

            Tomorrow, race fans and drivers from all over this country and parts of the U.S. will be at Delaware Speedway for the opening race in the NASCAR Canadian Tires Series.  The action starts long before the big race.  The main gate opens at 1 pm so fans can watch some of the best racers in Canada run through their practice laps.  Super Stock time trials begin at 4:30 with the main Super Stock race at 6, NCATS time trials at 5:15 and the main race at 8 pm.

Lots of campers are taking advantage of Delaware Speedway’s campground this weekend and there’s a festival atmosphere at the track with plenty of displays on Saturday and of course, lots of great food provided by the concessions.

ACT ANNOUNCES JULY 10 AIRBORNE RAINED OUT SPRING GREEN DATE

 

For Immediate Release                                        ACT – 051910-32

 

        Waterbury, VT – Officials from the American Canadian Tour (ACT) and Airborne Speedway announced today that the makeup date for the highly- anticipated Tour date will be Saturday, July 10, 2010. The Furniture World of Vermont Spring Green was scheduled to be run on May 8, but became the third rain-out on the early ACT schedule.

 

 

“We appreciate Mike (Perrotte, Promoter of Airborne) working to make this happen. Every team on the American Canadian Tour was looking forward to coming back to Airborne after the great success last year with the re-make of the facility”, said former Airborne owner and President of ACT Tom Curley.

 

The ½ mile was completely re-designed in 2009 and provided about the perfect track for ACT Late Model racing. During last fall’s running of the Fall Foliage 300, 19 different lead changes among five different drivers provided a great event for fans and competitors.

 

“We really needed to hear this news. This will give our team a lift after not qualifying last week at Oxford,” said seven-time ACT Champion Jean-Paul Cyr from Milton, VT. “I have always had some success at Airborne, and our new team should be pretty much on the same page by then. I am really happy to see this one get back on the schedule,” concluded Cyr.

 

Details will be forthcoming from both the ACT and Airborne offices regarding specifics related to the rescheduled event.

 

“We are still trying to figure out what might work for all parties involved with the final outstanding event at Albany-Saratoga Speedway that was rained out in April,” said ACT General Manager Darla Hartt. “We expect to make a rescheduling announcement soon,” she concluded.

 

Several touring teams will join the Thunder Road ACT Late Model teams at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway for their opening event this Sunday, May 23 on the brand new converted dirt track. Testing went great and 30 teams are expected to compete with a post time of 2:00pm this Sunday at the very fast ½ mile in Fair Haven, VT.

 

The American Canadian Tour will next appear at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, NH on Friday, June 11, 2010. The previously rained-out NH Governor’s Cup 150 will have a large field of Late Models from throughout the Northeast as the early entry list for this event set an all-time record.

 

For additional information contact the ACT office at 802.244.6963, www.acttour.com, or media@acttour.com.
