FORT KENT, Maine – In a 2010 season full of learning experiences for a rookie on the ACT Late Model Tour, perhaps the greatest lesson came in a non-ACT event.
Austin Theriault had high hopes for his inaugural appearance at the TD Bank Oxford 250, but when things didn’t go according to plan for the now 17-year-old driver from Fort Kent, Maine, he decided that a new approach was needed. (more…)
FALMOUTH, Maine – The PASS North Series celebrates the halfway point of the season with two races in three days this week, and Lonnie Sommerville of Saint John, New Brunswick, plans to be right in the mix in both events.

(Stafford Springs, CT)—When it comes to the CARQUEST SK 150 at Stafford
Motor Speedway, no driver knows the song of success better than 2006 SK
Modified® track champion Frank Ruocco. Ruocco has won the last two CARQUEST
SK 150’s and he has won three out of the last four 150-lap events at
Stafford. If not for Woody Pitkat coming back from 2 laps down to win the
2008 race in which Ruocco finished second, Ruocco would have four
consecutive CARQUEST SK 150 victories.

Hoar, Paya Hope To Add Missing Piece To Resume
GEORGIA, Vt. – Between them, they have 14 ACT Late Model Tour championships, more wins than anybody in the history of ACT, the former track record at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and wins from Florida to the Canadian provinces. Name a big race in the northeast, and chances are Brian Hoar or car owner Rick Paya have won it.
There is one omission from that resume, however – one they aim to add this weekend in the 38th annual TD Bank Oxford 250 at historic Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine.
