Jordan Continues to Dominate
Veinott Earns First Victory
by Caleb Lamb
OXFORD, Maine – The Acceleration Series took to the track under overcast skies for the second Wednesday night event of the year. One hundred thirteen cars checked in to compete in the five different divisions competing in eight feature races.
The Renegades kicked off an action packed night of racing with a 10 lap feature. Last week’s winner, Bill Grover suffered some bad luck on lap 1 as he was tagged by William Dunphy Jr and lost some ground to the leaders. The yellow flag flew a few laps later when Dunphy got loose again and spun into the path of Corey Edwards. Edwards slammed into the front of Dunphy’s #4, totaling the car and spilling water all over the track. After a long caution to clean up the water, the yellow flag flew again when Edward’s damaged #05 spun going into turn 1 and slid into the sand pile at the base of one of the light poles. Jamie Heath eventually overcame Mark Turner to take the win after a back and forth battle. Bill Grover finished third after his car dropped well off the pace while he was battling for the lead.

On Thursday night, Thompson Speedway featured the continuation of an event that was postponed back on June 3 after rains halted the program. In addition to the Tour-Type Modifieds, all six of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions were in competition.

Moffitt Surprises With Run – Earns second career NASCAR K&N East pole award
LOUDON, N.H. — There may not have been anybody more surprised that Brett Moffitt earned the 21 Means 21 Pole Award presented by Coors Light in NASCAR K&N Pro Series East qualifying Thursday than Moffitt himself.
After only being 21st fastest in practice earlier in the day, Moffitt rolled off a first lap of 30.356 seconds around the 1.058-mile oval for an average speed of 125.471 mph. Going out 29th out of 32 qualifiers for Friday’s New England 125, Moffitt was quick enough to knock New Hampshire native D.J. Shaw off the provisional pole.
Moffitt’s only other career pole came in his series debut in 2009 at Greenville (S.C.) Pickens Speedway. The 17-year-old from Grimes, Iowa, is coming off a win at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.

Brent Dragon: ACT Late Model Tour
White Mountain Motorsports Park Race Preview
Brent Dragon of Milton, Vt., returns to one of the tracks on the ACT Late Model Tour where he’s had the most success — as the series hits White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., for the ACT 150 on Saturday, June 26. Dragon won this event in 2007 and he hasn’t finished outside the top-3 in any of his last four starts at White Mountain. Dragon is still searching for his first top-5 of the finish of 2010, but a solid start to the season has him second in the standings — just 62 points behind leader Brian Hoar through the first four races of the year. The veteran racer has made 178 career ACT starts, tops on the all-time list.
WHO: Brent Dragon, Milton, Vt.

White Mountain Motorsports Park Race Preview
Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, rides a big wave of momentum as the ACT Late Model Tour rolls into White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., for the ACT 150 on Saturday, June 26.

Before heading to White Mountain, however, Theriault will enter the VT Governor’s Cup 150 — a non-points event for ACT-legal cars — at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt., on Thursday night, June 24.
