Kobyluck Fights For 16th Place Finish At Greenville
Greenville, S.C. (March 28, 2010): A disappointing qualifying effort set the stage for Saturday night’s NASCAR K&N Pro Series East opener for Matt Kobyluck and the Mohegan Sun Casino race team. Kobyluck had to start 25th in a 30-car field and battle his way through the field only to lose a tire at lap 113 and hit the wall in turn two. His determination gave him the momentum to salvage a 16th place finish in the Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet 150.
It wasn’t all an uphill battle though.
Kobyluck kicked off the day by topping the speed charts in the first practice session, but the No. 40 Mohegan Sun Casino Chevrolet didn’t get much track time in the second session.

LEIGHTON TO DEFEND TITLE AT ACT LEE USA OPENER
Waterbury, VT – Center Harbor, New Hampshire’s Brad Leighton, defending Champion of the New Hampshire Governor’s Cup has entered the opening event for the American Canadian Tour (ACT) at the Lee USA Speedway on Sunday, April 18, 2010. Leighton won the 2009 event after holding off the 2008 Governor’s Cup winner, Joey Polewarczyk, from nearby Hudson, NH.
Over fifty cars attempted to qualify for the event that saw nine different leaders before Leighton took over on lap 132 of the 150 lap grind. There were only five cautions in the event that saw one of the largest opening day crowds at Lee USA in many years.
“I am happy to get this first win of the season here at Lee Speedway, and I am really happy that in a few months I will be able to head about 30 minutes up the road to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) for the first ACT Invitational,” said an excited Leighton in victory lane.

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.
