Joey Polewarczyk Jr.: ACT Late Model Tour
Circuit Riverside Speedway Race Preview
Joey Polewarczyk Jr. of Hudson, N.H., and the ACT Late Model Tour head north of the border for the Can-Am 200 at Circuit Riverside Speedway in St. Croix, Quebec, on Saturday, August 14. The race is a combination event for the ACT Late Model Tour and its Canadian-based cousin the ACT Castrol Edge Series, and the race counts toward both championship battles. Polewarczyk has made just two career visits to the fast .625-mile track with a top-10 finish last time there in 2007. Including a win at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway last month, Polewarczyk rides a string of four consecutive top-10 finishes into the Can-Am 200 that have raised him to fourth in the ACT standings — just two points behind John Donahue for third place and 135 points behind overall leader Brian Hoar.

Karl Allard Wins Série ACT Castrol Edge 150 at Autodrome Chaudiere
Vallee-Jonction, QC – St-Felicien’s Karl Allard picked up his fifth Série ACT Castrol Edge event of the 2010 season and his second in a row at Autodrome Chaudiere in Vallee-Jonction, QC on Saturday, August 7. Allard fought off 2009 champion Donald Theetge over the final 65 laps to earn the win.
David Michaud took the lead from outside pole-sitter Daniel Descoste on lap 15 and would hold the lead through lap 54 before Patrick Laperle got by on a restart. Laperle lost the lead on lap 83 when he went around off the nose of second place runner Jean-François Déry.

PASS South season heats up at Newport Saturday
NAPLES ME ( 8/3) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South super late models get back on track this Saturday August 7 at Newport (TN) Speedway after a month- long hiatus and the 125 lap Daniel Boone Classic will mark the start of their stretch run to the 2010 series championship.
The Daniel Boone Classic has been a part of the PASS South schedule since 2008 and the wickedly fast high banked speed plant has seen just one driver wear the coonskin cap that signifies victory at the Tennessee oval. Jay Fogleman seems to have the key to victory lane at Newport and you can bet that the Durham North Carolina super late model star isn’t about to hand it over to his competition. Fogleman outran Bobby East in 2008 and Jake Crum in 2009 for two of his four career PASS wins, and without a doubt he will look to pull himself up in the series standings with a good run in the 2010 version of the Classic.

DJ Shaw Derailed From Potential Podium Finish At Lee
Lee, N.H. (July 31, 2010): DJ Shaw was well on his way to a top-three finish at Lee USA Speedway in Friday night’s NASCAR K&N Pro Series East 125. But a spin on lap 89 took the 20-year-old driver out of contention and the JLM Precision race team had to settle with a 12th place finish.
“I got wrecked,” said a dejected Shaw. “We probably had the second place car. It was a bad day for me. I hadn’t even started going yet. I felt like I could have passed Eddie (MacDonald) at any time on a long run, and if Ryan (Truex) had been patient he probably would have won that race.”
