Austin Theriault: ACT Late Model Tour
Airborne Speedway Race Preview
Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, joins the ACT Late Model Tour for the postponed Spring Green 100 at Airborne Speedway in Plattsburgh, N.Y., on Saturday, July 10. The race, originally scheduled for May before being called off due to inclement weather, marks the 16-year-old Theriault’s first foray onto a track this size. At a half-mile in length with long straightaways, Airborne is one of the largest tracks the ACT Late Model Tour visits annually. Theriault is looking to bounce back this weekend after failing to qualify — by one spot in the ‘B’-feature — two weeks ago at White Mountain Motorsports Park. Prior to that DNQ, Theriault posted three consecutive top-10 finishes, including one in his debut at the tricky Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt.
WHO: Austin Theriault, Fort Kent, Maine
