Foley, driving the Shamrock Bar & Grill/Pulsifer Logging Ford-powered No. 34, took the lead for keeps on lap 2, but Stone stayed close for the first 27 laps. No sooner had Foley opened up some daylight on Stone and third-place Pat McGrail then the yellow came out on lap 29. (more…)
Brian Hoar: ACT Late Model Tour
Devil’s Bowl Speedway Race Report
WEST HAVEN, Vt. – Brian Hoar of Williston, Vt., saw his two-race winning streak to open the ACT Late Model Tour season snapped when he finished 11th in the Spring Green 112 at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, Vt., on Sunday, May 6. It was a long afternoon for Hoar, winner of the the Spring Green in 2011, who was hurt by a poor draw for qualifying and ended up starting 21st in the 34-car field and could never get the track position he needed to get up and race with the leaders. The RPM Motorsports No. 37 GossCars.com Dodge battled its way up to 11th to salvage a good points day on an otherwise tough afternoon.
A look back at the SK Modified feature at the Waterford Speedbowl held on May 5, 2012. The 35 lap event was won by Keith Rocco and features in-car camera footage from Tom Abele, Joe Gada and Diego Monahan’s racecars.

[nggallery id=12]
Devil’s Bowl Speedway fans rocked the grandstands with exciting season-opening stock car racing at the 101.5 “The Fox” Spring Green on Sunday afternoon. Wayne Helliwell, Jr., and Vince Quenneville, Jr., brought the house to its feet with close finishes and emotional landmark wins. Robert Gordon and Josh Masterson each started the 2012 campaign off in victory lane as well.
Helliwell, of Dover, NH, copped his first career victory on the American-Canadian Tour in a razor-close finish with Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. Helliwell started the 112-lap main event in third place but was held up in early traffic and fell back almost outside the top then. He clawed his way back to the front on the outside lane, taking the lead from Polewarczyk just after the halfway point in the race. Hudson, NH racer Polewarczyk held nothing back during the final laps as he tried to steal the win, but Helliwell persevered for his inaugural ACT Late Model Tour score. Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, ME drove from 20th starting position to finish third ahead of Ray Parent and Randy Potter. (more…)
