Waterbury, VT -- The most competitive battle in the Northeast continues with the American Canadian Tour stock cars this coming Saturday, June 23 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, NH. Dover, NH’s 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’s biggest stars.

 

Hudson, NH’s 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.

 

Lancaster, NH’s Quinny Welch will expect some better luck at “The Park”, 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.

 

“We’ve really been building up to this race at White Mountain,” explained Welch. “I’ve been racing there the last three weekends to try to get tuned for this race, and I just know I won’t be satisfied with anything less than a win here.”

 

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.

 

All the action begins this Saturday, June 23rd at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, NH. Post time is 5:00pm.

DILLEY DEBUTS; FINISHES 2ND IN PARTSOURCE/BDI/LELAND FORD FUSION

 

   For Immediate Release

 

 

 

 


June 17, 2012, Bowmanville, ON:  Mark Dilley made his 2012 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series season debut on Saturday night at the Speedway at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and managed a convincing 2nd place finish.

 

Dilley who shares the driving duties in the #02 PartSource/BDI/Leland Industries Ford with veteran racer Kerry Micks made his debut at the first oval track event of the 2012 season.  Micks will drive the #02 in the road course events while Dilley will be the pilot for the seven oval events on the 2012 schedule.

 

The #02 car was to Dilley’s liking right out of the trailer as he posted the eighth quickest time in practice. 

The team made several changes to get it faster for qualifying and the Ford driver posted the seventh quickest time to start the Clarington 200.

Dilley would quickly move into the top five at the drop of the green for the 200 lap event.  After pitting for fuel on lap 62 and making a minor adjustment, Dilley was very happy with the car. Another pit stop on lap 161 had the team replacing right side tires and the #02 car was set to go to the finish.  Dilley would run with the leader Kennington but in the end had nothing for him and crossed the finish line in second.

 

An enthusiastic Dilley said after the race “This car just handles so well.  We tested here a few weeks ago and I knew it was going to be strong today.  I can’t thank my team, the guys in the shop – and Kerry (Micks) for putting this great car together for me.  We are excited to go to Delaware next week and go for the win. And I have to thank all of our sponsors – so many of them were here tonight including PartSource, Leland, BDI , Johnsonville and Cathcart Trucking.”

 

Dilley will again be behind the wheel of the #02 Ford Fusion when they make their way to Delaware Speedway next Saturday June 23 for event #4 of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series schedule.

 

The Clarington 200 will air on TSN on Saturday June 23 at 1 p.m.

 

The #02 Micks Motorsports team is supported by the following sponsors:  Leland Industries, Beyond Digital Imaging, PartSource, Armor All, Johnsonville, STP, Cathcart Trucking, Seguin Marina, Thor Motors, Prostate Cancer Canada, Triad Racing Technologies, Gaunt Collision Centres, Samester and Castrol.

STECKLY BATTLES IT OUT AT THE CLARINGTON 200

 

 

           

                                                                  

 

 

 

 

For Immediate Release

 

June 17, 2012. Bowmanville, ON. – On Saturday, Scott Steckly returned to the Clarington 200 at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park speedway as the reigning champion. #22 showed up at yesterday’s competition with a very different race set-up than what won him the 1st place finish in 2011.

 

 

 

Earlier in the day, Steckly’s crew made changes to the car for qualifying, adjusting the set-up to Steckly’s liking. The bar was high for last year’s top driver, but it wasn’t any added pressure for #22. 

“Even the top finisher can find things to do better,” Steckly said. “If you’re not trying to improve, you can’t get better.”

Practice and qualifying ended strong for #22 and his Canadian Tire Dodge, Steckly qualified 4th for that evening’s race. However, during the preliminary pace laps before the start of the race, Scott felt a problem with the car – initially assessing it as a flat tire. #22 made a quick pit stop and the team decided all of the tires on the Canadian Tire Dodge were fine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until he left the pit he realized a broken axle was causing only one rear tire to drive the car.

Once the race went green, Steckly immediately made a pit stop and the team worked furiously to change the broken rear axle. Despite his team’s efficient work on the axle, #22 fell 8 laps behind. Steckly battled through the race making up 2 laps, but concluded the Clarington 200 in 14th place – 10 spots behind his initial 4th place start. But Steckly wasn’t fazed.

“These things happen in racing,” he said after the race. “It’s still early in the season; we have time to make up for it. The team did a great job with the repairs; it’s too bad because we had a car that was just as fast as the rest.”

The Clarington 200 will be aired on TSN Sunday June 24 at 1 p.m. ET and on RDS Wed. July 11 at 10 p.m. ET

Next up for the 22 Racing/Canadian Tire Dodge team is the Emco 200 at Delaware on Saturday June 23. For more information please visit www.nascarhometracks.com

22 Racing is supported by the following sponsors:  Canadian Tire, Motomaster Eliminator, Sylvania, Erb Group, Mobil 1 and AW Millwrights.

Jean-François Bouvrette gagne le « Projet X » 50

3 courses, 3 gagnants en Sportsman ANCA

Après connu plusieurs ennuis avec le « set up » de la voiture #38, le pilote-policier de St-Jérôme, Jean-François Bouvrette a connu la victoire lors de cette 3e épreuve de catégorie Sportsman ANCA à l’Autodrome St-Eustache en ce dimanche après-midi de la Fête des Pères.

 

Parti de la 7e position le pilote jérômien a su éviter tous les obstacles et gravir une à une les précieuses positions  qui l’on mené sur la première marche du podium, suivi de Martin Goulet et de Stéphane Aubin qui ont complété le top 3 de la journée.

 

Deux des favoris, Steve Côté et Maxime Pelletier qui avaient été repositionnés en arrière suite à un accrochage les impliquant ont dû se contenter d’une 4e et 5e position après avoir remonté le peloton. Pelletier a cependant été pénalisé d’une position pour un dépassement à l’intérieur des lignes blanches de la courbe #1 et c’est finalement Marc Antoine Demers qui a hérité de la 5e position suite à cette pénalité.

 

En Sport Compacte, c’est Stéphane Langevin qui a eu le dessus sur les 25 autres participant, tandis qu’en Légendes Modifiées, c’est Sylvain Denis qui a remporté la victoire.

 

En production, Steve Ladouceur, de Ste-Agathe a eu le dessus sur les autres participants. Et en Challenge 4, c’est un nouveau venu, Jonathan Sicotte de Mirabel qui a été vainqueur de la finale.

 

Le prochain programme aura lieu le samedi 30 juin. Les détails et classements seront publiés en début de semaine.

Stone pads point lead with 1st win

Airborne recap June 16, 2012

SOUTH PLATTSBURGH – Todd Stone of Middlebury, Vt worked under Kris Vernold on lap 18 and led the rest of the way to earn his first Modified win of the season on NYSCOPBA night at Airborne Saturday. Stone, driving the G. Stone Motors 1X, began the night as the point leader and started 14th.

 

Patrick Dupree, helped by the fourth and final restart on lap 21, shot past Vernold on the backstretch to claim second when green flag racing resumed, but he was unable to reel Stone in. Aaron Bartemy came up through the field after starting 25th, to finish fourth, just ahead of George Foley in fifth. Foley, a three-time feature winner got turned around on lap five and had to pit for a tire.

 

 The second half of the top-10 was filled by Andy Lindeman, Vince Quenneville, Mike Wells, Adam Bartemy and Chris Cayea.

 

The third yellow came out for contact at the front between leaders Craig Reyell and Michael Viens. Their demise moved Vernold and Lindeman to the front row. At that point, Stone was running fourth and Dupree was in seventh.

 

“My crew got the car going great after a tough start,” Stone said. “I could catch Kris (Vernold) down the straights, but he had me in the corners. I finally got under him. You’ve got to race your own race and try to be there in the end. You can’t worry about who’s behind you even if it’s the No. 24 (Dupree)”.

 

Defending champion Robin Wood powered to his first win in the 25-lap Limited Late Model feature. He had to hold off Bucko Branham who reached his rear spoiler at the halfway mark. Granham was second, with Jamy Begor 3rd, Dave Rabtoy 4th and Brandon Atkins 5th.

 

“We went back to our original set up after changing a lot of things to race in Canada,” Wood said. “We finally pulled it off and won one.”

 

Joe Warren of Chazy, driving the Freihofer’s/Bud Light Lime No. 13, passed Robert Gordon for the lead on lap nine and won the Renegade feature. Gordon held off fast-closing Tylor Terry to finish second. Lance Rabtoy was fourth, followed by Don Franklin.

 

Lonnie Rivers of Cadyville wired the field from the outside pole to claim his first Sportsman Modified win. Point leader Nick Heywood was the runner-up. Travis Bruno, Jamie LaFountain and Sebastien Fournier were next in line.

 

Jayson Criss of Plattsburgh piloted the Monster Energy/JT Mechanical No. 54 to a win in the 15-lap Mini Modified feature.

 

Airborne hosts a DIRTcar 358 Modified Asphalt Series event with many invaders including Frank Cozze and Kenny Tremont expected, Wednesday, June 20 – post time 7 p.m.

Donald Theetge Wins Second Straight Série ACT Castrol Event

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                            ACT-061612

St-Croix, QC – Donald Theetge of Boischatel, QC earned his second straight Série ACT Castrol win at Circuit Riverside Speedway in St-Croix, QC on Saturday, June 16. Theetge was the class of the field all day and worked his way from the 12th starting position for the win. He held off the likes of former Castrol Champions Patrick Laperle and Karl Allard over several caution periods during the 100 lap event. It was Theetge’s 18th career Série ACT Castrol win, which keeps him atop the all-time wins list.

 

Jonathan Bouvrette snatched the lead from the outside pole on the first lap, but held it only through lap 7. Laperle started in the seventh position and was running third by the completion of the first lap. He made his way to the point on lap 8 and began building a healthy lead before the first caution of the event came on lap 20. The first caution was a three minute and 30 second red flag period as the track safety workers repaired holes in the asphalt in turns one and two.

After the restart, Theetge quickly knocked off the remaining competitors between himself and Laperle. Theetge took over the lead on lap 30 as Laperle dropped backward with a tire going down. The tire eventually caused Laperle to spin coming off of turn four on lap 32. Laperle would ultimately make his way back to second, but was no match for Theetge over several caution periods in the second half of the event.

Allard completed the podium, while David Michaud and Patrick Cliche rounded out the top five. Steven Boissonneault, Patrick Hamel and Etienne Cliche were the only three remaining cars on the lead lap. Gaetan Lauzier and Jonathan Desbiens completed the top ten.

The 100 lap event saw a total of 11 cautions including two red flag periods. One red flag was for repairs to the track on lap 20, while the second was the final caution on lap 85 which required cleanup of a multiple car accident on the front stretch. The event was completed in one hour and forty-five minutes including the combined nine minutes and thirty-seven seconds of combined red flag. Eight cars finished on the lead lap and eleven cars were on the track for the checkered flag.

Theetge had already qualified for the Bond Auto ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 22. He also unofficially moves into the Série ACT Castrol point lead after point leader Jean-François Déry suffered engine problems and finished 24th. Third place point main, Dany Trepanier also had a rough day as he was involved in a hard wreck on lap 85, which ended his day but he still came home 11th.

The Série ACT Castrol has next weekend off before heading to Autodrome Montmagny in Montmagny, QC on Saturday, June 30 for their fourth event of the 2012 season.

ROOKIE DRIVER AMANDA CONNOLLY WINS TIRECRAFT 100

June 15, 2012

Delaware Speedway PR

Release With Photos: https://delawarespeedway.com/rookie-driver-amanda-connolly-wins-tirecraft-100-friday-recap

 

Delaware, ON - Rookie driver Amanda Connolly (#16) of Aurora took the win in the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Tirecraft 100 Friday evening at Delaware Speedway.  Connolly started ninth in the event and took the lead from two-time champion Jay Doerr (#43) of London on lap 96 of the 100-lap event.

 

“I was loose from the get go and felt awful driving way up there [on the high side of the track],” said Connolly.  “I think I stayed consistent and [the other drivers] went away.  It worked to my advantage.”

 

Connolly made special mention of her mother who was admitted to intensive care at the hospital last week.  Though she is in stable condition she was not able to attend the race.

 

The race had five lead changes between four different drivers and was slowed by caution five times.  Josh Wood (#66) of London led the first 32 laps of the event before crashing out on a restart in an incident involving Jake Ott (#88) of Ayr, handing the lead to Jay Doerr (#43).  Doerr would continue to lead until lap fifty when he was passed by Steve Robblee (#28) of Dorchester.  Robblee would keep the lead for ten laps before Jay Doerr reclaimed the lead shortly after a restart.  Doerr would continue to lead until Connolly’s late charge where she ultimately took the lead with four laps to go.

 

Shawn McGlynn (#81) of Waterloo won the fastest time in qualifying with a 20.164 second lap time.  He took the Blast Floor Coating Challenge which saw him start at the back of the twenty car field.  He made his way as high as second place where he finished the race.  Third in the event was Jay Doerr (#43).

 

The Canadian Heroes race team unveiled their new Dodge Challeger race car during the pre-race ceremonies.  The team ran the vehicle as a memorial to trooper Mark Wilson who was tragically killed in 2006 in Afghanistan.  Wilson’s family was on hand for the unveiling of the car which was driven by Steve Moore (#45) of Toronto.

 

Points leader Gary Adriaensen (#55) of London won the Demar Aggregates Trucks feature race on Friday at Delaware Speedway.  The win is Adriaensen’s second of the season, going back-to-back from opening night last week.  Adriaensen took the lead on lap fourteen from Tyler Finlay (#25) of London and held him off through a pair of late race cautions on lap 28 and 30.  Finlay finished second in the 35-lap race and Tom Zagorodny (#77) of Dorchester finished third.  Finlay and Zagorodny also won their heat races.

 

Paul Fothergill came back from his practice crash at the season opener to win the Coca-Cola Super Stock 35-lap feature race on Friday night.  Fothergill took the lead from Geoff Chant (#19) of Thorndale on lap 3 of the race.  Second was Jeff Showler (#44) of Mt. Elgin, third was Kenny McNicol Jr. (#17) of Exeter.  Previous race winner Steve Smith had been contending with Fothergill for the lead, but was forced out of the race after clutch problems.

 

On lap 28 of the Coca-Cola Stock race fans rose from their seats during the green flag run as a tribute to Dave Lawarence (#28) Super Stock.  This weekend was the anniversary of Dave’s passing.  He is survived by his two sons, Kris and Jordan Lawrence who both participated in tonight’s race.

 

Next weekend at Delaware Speedway is the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Weekend.  Friday June 22 is Police, Fire, and Ambulance appreciation night featuring King of the Hill Spectator’s Races, GAW Recycling Enduro Challenge, Coca-Cola Super Stocks, and FT Garage Late Models.  Saturday, June 23 is the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series EMCO 200 at 8:00 pm.  Tickets and weekend passes continue to be available at delwarespeedway.com or at the gate the day of the event.

Bushey Thrills Packed House With Vermont State Championship Win at Devil’s Bowl

 

For Immediate Release                                                                                                                                                                     DBS-061512-1

 

WEST HAVEN, VT – Stock car driver Craig Bushey defended his home track’s honor by winning the “I Am Vermont Strong 100” – the second round of the four-race Vermont State Late Model Championship Series, postponed one week by rain after qualifying was completed on June 8 – at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Friday night.  Bushey held off a late charge from Brent Dragon, and later Brian Hoar, to take the popular win before a packed grandstand crowd.

 

Twenty-three of 29 drivers returned following the June 8 postponement to take the green flag in the “I Am Vermont Strong 100.”  Fairfax, VT driver Bushey started fourth on the 23-car grid and jumped to the top spot in the early going.  He battled with outside polesitter Dragon, of Milton, VT, in the early going but set a blistering pace during a 60-lap green flag run that allowed him to lap all but the top five cars.

Two late caution periods bunched the field and allowed Dragon and Hoar to reel Bushey in.  Bushey’s No. 05 Vermont Life Safety/Miller Auto Group Chevrolet was too strong, though, and held on for its third win in five Devil’s Bowl starts in 2012.  Hoar, of Williston, VT, slipped by Dragon by a nose for the runner-up spot.  Maine’s Ricky Rolfe finished fourth, with Dave Pembroke of Middlesex, VT fifth as the final car on the lead lap.  The unofficial top ten was completed by Joey Becker, Phil Scott, Brooks Clark, Bryan Town, and Jamie Fisher.

Alex Bell earned his first win in two years in the 35-lap NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Bond Auto Parts Modified feature.  The Cambridge, NY youngster’s No. 23 Carmody Ford/Bell Excavating-sponsored mount came from eighth starting position to outduel defending track champion Ron Proctor of Charlton, NY for the win.  The race ended under caution as a final-lap crash took out top-five drivers Jessey Mueller and Joey Roberts.  Hunter Bates of Middlebury, VT finished third with Vince Quenneville, Jr., fourth and Leon Gonyo fifth.

Bill Duprey of Hydeville, VT earned his first win of the season in the 15-lap Renegade shootout.  The division’s defending champion won a tight race over Leicester, VT’s Jeremy Jones, who nipped Ryan Keith of Pittsford, VT at the line for the runner-up spot.  Robert Gordon and Frank Monroe completed the top five.

Rookie Josh Masterson of Bristol, VT made it 5-for-7 in the Bomber division, but did so only after running 20 laps in the opposite direction.  The Bomber class made right-hand turns for its wacky feature event, but the Masterson was up for the challenge.  Garrett Given of Cornwall, VT posted his best finish of the year in second place, followed by Gabriels, NY racer Bobby LaVair.  Ray Germain, Jr., and rookie Gerald LaFlam were next in line.

Brothers Gary and Gerald Grant of Addison, VT thrilled the crowd during the special Spectator Races to close the event.  After making his way through two preliminary rounds, Gary Grant, a truck driver by trade, drove his 2008 Ford Mustang in a two-lap final round to defeat his brother, a police officer, who drove a 2008 Toyota Tundra pickup.  Wallingford, VT’s Kelly Socia of Vermont Backroad Tours won a special match race for full-size buses, narrowly beating Devil’s Bowl Speedway official C.J. Vitagliano in the track’s Interstate Batteries-sponsored “Fun Bus.”

Devil’s Bowl Speedway is back in action on Friday, June 22 at 7:30pm with “Hometown Heroes Night” presented by Whelen Engineering.  All fire, police, and rescue workers will be admitted free of charge with valid identification.  A full card for NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Bond Auto Parts Modifieds, J&S Steel Late Models, Renegades, and Bombers is on tap.  Regular general admission is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors (62+), and free for children 12 and under.  Gates open at 6:00pm.
