Waterford, Conn.\u2019s Dillon Moltz and Colchester\u2019s Scott Payea have captured wins at New Hampshire\u2019s Lee USA Speedway and West Haven, Vt.\u2019s Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway, with Moltz\u2019s second-place effort at Devil\u2019s Bowl putting him atop the standings in his second full season on the Tour.<br \/>\n <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Moltz, Payea, and the rest of the ACT stars will be on hand to tackle the quarter-mile oval. Hinesburg\u2019s Bobby Therrien has already captured the Memorial Day Classic at Thunder Road in addition to posting top finishes on the Tour. Lebanon, NH\u2019s Rich Dubeau has been strong in his third ACT season and scored his first podium finish at Devil\u2019s Bowl. Rookie Ray Christian III made his first Thunder Road visit on Memorial Day weekend and scored a top-10 finish. Rowland Robinson Jr., Kyle Welch, Mike Ziter, and Josh Masterson are among others expected.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to getting back to Thunder Road this weekend for sure,\u201d Moltz said. \u201cWe had a really good long-run car when the race got rained out; we felt confident in the handling and the balance. So we were bummed about that, but we\u2019re really excited about the new pavement. We\u2019ve been hearing pretty good things \u2013 that it\u2019s still racy, that it\u2019s got a lot more speed in it. I think those are factors that play right into our hands. And we seem to do well on new pavement \u2013 we won at White Mountain last year after they had repaved!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ACT Tour joins the weekly stars of the Thunder Road Late Models in their quest to become the latest Community Bank 150 winner.
