Planes, trains and automobiles. That’s what it felt like for Austin Theriault this weekend.
The 18-year-old Brad Keselowski Racing development driver hit opposite ends of the East Coast in a three-day span, posting a career-best Super Late Model finish of 5th in Florida less than 48 hours before returning to New England to post a Top-10 run in ACT Late Model Tour action at Thunder Road International Speedbowl.
“It was a long weekend, a lot of miles and a lot of racing, but I had a lot of fun, too,” Theriault said after finishing ninth Sunday in the Merchants Bank 150 at Thunder Road. “The Late Model, the Super Late Model – they both have four tires, but they really drive a lot different. At first, honestly, I don’t think I even realized how different they can be. But getting out here (at Thunder Road) and jumping into the Late Model and launching off into that first turn this weekend, it was like, ‘Whoa.’”
Theriault started his week on Friday with the Papa John’s 100 at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla. After starting 18th in the 30-car field – the second round of the Buddy’s Blizzard Series – Theriault put together a consistent start-to-finish effort to finish fifth in the BKR No. 29 Checkered Flag Foundation Dodge.
It was his first career Top-5 in his fifth Super Late Model start for BKR.
