THE STORY
Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, returns to ACT Late Model Tour competition this week for for the ACT 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, July 28. Theriault heads into the first ACT points race in more than a month fresh off a third-place finish in the TD Bank Oxford 250 last Sunday, and he’s currently fourth in the overall standings – just 42 points out of the lead. Beech Ridge is a flat, .333-mile track, which is traditionally the kind of track where the AT Racing No. 57 Pelletier Ford Ford Fusion performs at its best. In two previous starts at Beech Ridge, Theriault has never finished outside the Top-5.

THE STORY
Brian Hoar of Williston, Vt., begins the stretch drive toward a ninth career ACT Late Model Tour championship in the ACT 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, July 28. After more than a month off from ACT competition, the Top-4 drivers in the standings begin the final five-race stretch toward the season’s conclusion separated by just 42 points. Hoar has always had an affinity for the flat Beech Ridge Motor Speedway – having returned to ACT Victory Lane at the track in 2009 following an eight-year hiatus from the series to concentrate on what is now the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. He is one of only three drivers to have won at Beech Ridge since ACT’s return to the track in 2009.

Charlotte, NC 7/25/12- Over the last several seasons the 4/10th mile oval located in the tiny town of Rougemont, North Carolina, deemed the Orange County Speedway, has hosted two PASS South Series super late model events a year. The first normally comes early in the season schedule during mid spring time, and the second during the middle of North Carolina’s sweltering summer time heat and humidity. Both events are known to produce some of the best racing all season, but round two at the North Carolina track, appropriately named the Southern Sizzler 150, always has that extra bit of flare or excitement to it that draws additional fans in the stands and cars in the pits.
