West Haven, VT – Joey Polewarczyk Jr fought an ill-handling car to a disappointing 19th place finish at his first ever trip to the recently paved half-mile speedway.

The ACT Late Model Tour made its Devil’s Bowl debut with a strong 40 Late Models, vying for 32 starting spots. Joey started last (13th) in his Heat Race. “We were once again the fastest during practice and we almost had the car to where it could turn in the center of the corner like I like” Polewarczyk states. “We almost qualified through our Heat Race; we set ourselves up for a good Consolation race starting spot”

During the Consolation race, Polewarczyk came together with another car and knocked the suspension out of tolerance. “We knocked the Toe out which we were able to fix before the main event. We qualified and started in the 23rd starting spot and we really thought we had a contending car” says Polewarczyk
