Beech Ridge Motor Speedway release
Scarborough,Maine-On a night with the American Canadian Tour visiting for a 150 lap race, three drivers chose the big stage and large crowd to post their first ever feature wins at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. The NASCAR Whelan All American Series took to the track first led by the 40 lap Pro Series feature race. Bob Gahan jumped into the lead from the pole position with young Joey Doiron in hot pursuit. Doiron moved around Gahan on the third circuit but Gahan would not go down easily. Gahan went back in front on lap 9 and held the position through lap 11 when Doiron went pack to the lead. A late race caution flag on lap 35 gave Aaron Ricker a shot at Doiron for the win but Doiron got a better restart and led the final laps for his first win. Ricker was second with Dan McKeage third. David Oliver and Bob Gahan were fourth and fifth place finishers.
Not to be outdone by Joey Doiron, Marcel Chauvette won his first career race following 35 laps of Sports Series racing. Andy Field led the field to the green flag and paced the field for the first 8 laps before Rob Herrick powered past him. Marcel Chauvette moved to the second position on lap 11 and quickly took to the inside oh Herrick to take over the lead one lap later. Racing stayed under green flag conditions for the remainder of the race and Chauvette was able to open up a comfortable lead to take the win. Carey Martin, filing the seat in the #85 this week got stuck in traffic and could not clear until the final laps. Martin finished second with Corey Bubar third.

ACT YOUNG GUNS POLEWARCZYK, THERIAULT, AND BABB LEAD THE WAY
Waterbury, VT – Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (BRMS) in Scarborough, ME is perhaps the most neutral track the American Canadian Tour (ACT) visits during the season-long touring campaign. There will be no weekly teams that enter the event; by design, it might be compared to Oxford Plains Speedway, but veterans will tell you that is not true; it races as good as any track the Tour visits; and the atmosphere from the staff and management to the fans is first class. The food is also some of the best.

Story by Evan Beaulieu
Round five of Thursday Night Thunder at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway took place this past week on July 21st. Through the first four weeks, the Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour has seen four different winners, would there be a new face in victory lane once again tonight, or would we see a repeat winner? The points race is close as well, while both Kevin Hutchens and Evan Beaulieu have had one bad race each, there is no room for error as the season is at its halfway point. It was a hot day at the track and 20 Legend Cars took to the track for their feature event.
