Fadden Racing Set For Greenville And South Boston With Joey “Pole” Polewarczyk
North Haverhill, N.H. (March 22, 2010): Fadden Racing won’t begin campaigning their new development driver, Julian Camilo Albarracin, in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East until June, but their presence will be strong in the series until then. Joey “Pole” Polewarczyk will return to the Fadden Racing drivers seat to compete at the series opener at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Saturday, March 27 and will return for South Boston Speedway on April 2.
“Joey is a very talented driver and we’re excited to be giving him the chance to show that at this level,” said Fadden Racing car owner and K&N Pro Series two-time champion Mike Olsen. “Joey came and tested with us earlier this month and he showed he could get the job done. We’re pretty confident heading into this race.”
Polewarczyk has built a name for himself as a regular on the ACT Late Model Tour, where he finished seventh in the 2009 point standings with two wins. Last June, the 20-year-old driver won the Vermont Governor’s Cup 150 at Thunder Road after fielding a second car for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Tony Stewart.

You have to come out strong and ready to go. It’s the beginning of our Chase.”

Fadden Racing Announces Development Program With Julian Camilo Albarracin
Fadden Racing, Inc. announced today that they have added Columbian Julian Camilo Albarracin as a primary development driver for the 2010 season. Albarracin will begin the year competing in a Late Model in New England before moving into the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in June. The young and upcoming driver will pilot the No. 54 Fadden Racing Chevrolet’s.
Albaraccin’s background is based on road courses with extensive experience in the Skip Barber Series. In 2008, Albaraccin placed second in the Mid Western Regional championship points and then backed that up with a seventh place finish in the National point standings in 2009. In just nine starts last season, Albarracin posted one top-five and seven top-10 finishes. He began his career in Karts in 2001 and also competed in Formula Renault where he traveled to Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico to race.
“We’re very excited to add Julian to the Fadden Racing family,” said car owner Mike Olsen. “We did some testing with him and he has a lot of potential to do very well in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series. We want him to have some time for a learning curve instead of rushing him right into everything so we decided it would be best to start him out in a Late Model and do some testing in the East Series car before we actually start competing.”
Albaraccin turned nearly 400 laps at White Mountain Motorsports Park in a private test that allowed the driver to get acclimated to the heavier, full-bodied stock cars. His pre-season training will include tests at several different venues in addition to the Late Model schedule that is still yet to be determined.
“We’ve already made important steps in his progression to the K&N Pro Series,” said Olsen. “He communicates well with the crew and he’s making huge strides in his transition between car types.”

HUDSON, N.H. — The old adage tells us that consistency wins championships, and Joey Polewarczyk Jr. hopes he can prove it true once again in 2010.
The 20-year-old stock car driver will have plenty of chances to find consistency on the track, committing to run the full ACT Late Model Tour season this year as well as a partial NASCAR K&N Pro Series East schedule. Polewarczyk, who owns four career ACT wins and finished a career-best fourth in the final 2009 standings, is looking forward to getting back behind the wheel.
“It’s going to be a busy summer, for sure,” Polewarczyk said. “I’m excited about it. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Polewarczyk started making waves for himself last June when he beat two-time Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart — plus a full field of Late Models — in the Vermont Governor’s Cup at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt. But as good a season as Polewarczyk had, it was his offseason that’s been even more productive.
