Plattsburgh, NY – Joey Polewarczyk Jr. of Hudson, NH, still looking uphill at the $25,000 ACT International 500 winner’s prize as the end of the 300-lap race neared, passed Patrick Laperle with 15 laps remaining to win the inaugural event before one of the largest crowds in Airborne Speedway history Sunday, July 21.

Polewarczyk Jr. outpointed 8-time ACT champion Brian Hoar by winning the first two 100-lap segments of the 300-lap event with Hoar close behind in 2nd place both times.

When Hoar took command halfway through the final segment and went on to win it, Polewarczyk Jr. needed to finish 2nd to win the overall event. With 30 laps remaining, Polewarczyk trailed second-place Patrick Laperle by six car-lengths. The final event points totals were Polewarczyk 4 points (1-1-2) to Hoar’s 5 points (2-2-1).

WEST HAVEN, VT – Devil’s Bowl Speedway isn’t just for the stock cars of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series anymore. The West Haven, VT facility will open its gates on Wednesday, July 24 to welcome both the Walker International Circus and Rally North America for special events.

The day begins with 80 sleek and sporty street-legal cars from Rally North America’s “C.J. Pony Parts-Rally New England 2013” trek. The four-day, 1,300-mile journey will help raise funds for Camp Sunshine, a retreat for children with life-threatening diseases and their families. The Rally runs through Downtown Rutland, VT on Wednesday morning and stops at Devil’s Bowl Speedway, where each of the 80 teams will shake their cars down on the half-mile track. The Rally also visits the famous road course at Watkins Glen (NY) International and the Oxford (ME) Dragway.
