Austin Theriault: ACT Late Model Tour
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Report
Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, finished a career-best second in the ACT Late Model Tour 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, July 24. It capped a whirlwind week for the 16-year-old ACT Rookie of the Year candidate, after he failed to qualify for the TD Bank Oxford 250, was invited to a test session at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in August and then recorded his first ACT podium finish. Theriault was the highest-finishing rookie in the race, and he also advanced the most spots of any driver in the field — charging up the outside lane from his 22nd starting spot.
