Brad Babb Leads ACT Rookie Points Heading To Hometrack Beech Ridge
Scarborough, ME – Windham, Maine’s Brad Babb currently sits atop the ACT Late Model Tour Rookie Standings and will look to stretch his lead with a solid finish this Saturday, July 24 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, the track where he cut his racing teeth. The seventeen year old holds a slim five point lead over fellow Maine youngster Austin Theriault of Fort Kent.
Babb has had a solid first half to his rookie season by qualifying for five of the first six races on the ACT Tour which is no small feat considering the Tour has been averaging well over 40 cars for each event. He has finished on the lead lap in four of these events with his only DNF (Did Not Finish) occurring at White Mountain Motorsports Park due to mechanical problems.

NAPLES ME (7/7/10) Mother Nature has turned up the thermostat and so has the Pro All Stars Series as the toughest month of the super late model schedule moves on to Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday July 10. Beech Ridge is the second stop of a five race month for the super late models and it’s likely that many teams will measure thei seasons’ success based on their results in July.
The family focused oval produces some of the closest racing around and the Beech Ridge Pro Series regulars that often come out to challenge the touring teams are always competitive. 2009 track champion Mike Rowe, Aaron Ricker, Chuck Colby, and a whole lot more are well capable of running up front. Former PASS North regular Mike Rowe whipped up on the field in the series’ first 2010 appearance at the immaculate Holmes Road oval. The 2006 PASS South Champion came from 28th in the field to deny Adam Bates and Ben Rowe the Sunoco checkered flag

Brad Babb defends Miller Lite 50 title at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.
Scarborough, Maine-Brad Babb won the Miller Lite 50 Saturday night for the second consecutive year. Charlie Colby led the opening laps with Bill Whorff moving into early contention. Whorff moved into the lead on lap 8 with Babb moving to second place. Babb moved to the lead on lap 10 and began to pull away from Whorff and Bill Rodgers. By laps 21 Babb had a full straight lead as Whorff and Rodgers were racing side by side for second place. It appeared as if Babb was going to cruise to the win until lap 47 when he came upon slower traffic just as they decided to crash with each other. Babb narrowly escaped the wreck but the caution flag set the stage for a different kind of fireworks. When racing resumed Babb and Bill Rodgers blasted off for a 2 lap shoot out for the win. Rodgers got the better start and pulled into the lead on the backstretch. Entering turn 3 Babb got into the back of Rodgers sending both cars up the race track and Bill Whorff into the lead. On the white flag lap Babb got to the inside of Whorff and was able to get a run to the outside of Whorff racing down the backstretch. The dash to the finish line saw Babb get to the line first by inches over Whorff. Dan McKeage was third with Dave Oliver and Rodgers rounding out the top five. (more…)
