Packard Ends Busy Weekend with Great Run at Riverside
Capturing her First ACT Pole, Leading the Most Laps and her 2nd Three Star Award
EAST MONTPELIER, Vt – Starting last in the final heat race at Riverside Saturday night, Packard went out and showed them that wasn’t going to be a problem for her. Starting in 7th with her 9x Northstar Fireworks/Packard Fuels car, she followed the 27nh to the front. Packard finished comfortably in 3rd place +4, which was enough to secure her the pole for the Central Paving 150 ACT race. “We struggled early in practice, but our times were similar with everyone else,” said Packard, “We got the bottom lane in the heat race and were able to follow the 27 to the front and earn the pole with our +4.”

Late Model checkers to Bryant
WEST HAVEN, VT – Jason Durgan became a first-time winner at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Friday, June 6, taking the 30-lap Bond Auto Parts Modified event on “Facebook Friday” for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series. Durgan, of Morrisonville, NY, headlined a winner’s list that included Robert Bryant, Jr., Robert Gordon, Jake Noble, Scott MacMichael, and Shawn Fountain.
Durgan, who was eliminated in a crash last week, benefitted from a pole position starting spot in the 30-lap main event and led every step of the way. His No. 17 Clear Shot Satellite/Taylor Rental Teo jetted out to an early advantage, but that was wiped away with nine laps remaining as front-runners Todd Stone, Ron Proctor, and Jessey Mueller tangled. Durgan was forced to fend off Vince Quenneville, Jr., at the restart, then drove to the landmark win.

For the first time this season, the Budweiser Oxford Championship Series was run on its normal scheduled Fridaynight, and the fans once again were treated to an awesome night of racing. Winners included Billy Childs Jr., Spencer Morse, David Tripp and Cam Childs.
For the second consecutive week in the Budweiser Pro Late Models, a newcomer to the division slipped out of town with the $1,500 first place check and the hardware that went with it, as rookie driver, Billy Childs Jr. held off a twenty-nine car field to pick up his first career Pro Late Model victory. However it was no easy task as he was challenged from lap 40 til the checkered flag waved. Kyle Desouza had an awesome car considering he destroyed it last Sunday afternoon. Desouza dogged Childs over the final ten laps only lose the fight to Tim Brackett on the white flag lap. Child’s edged out Brackett, Scott Moore, Shane Green and Desouza to claim the victory. Scott McDaniel, Kyle Treadwell, Kevin Douglass, Scott Farrington and Jeremy Davis completed the top ten. Heat checkers fell for Jeff Burgess, Justin Drake and Trevor Sanborn.

SHREWSBURY, Mass. (June 4, 2014) – Rob Fuller Motorsports has named 2003 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Champion, Todd Szegedy the driver of the No. 15 Chevrolet for the New Hampshire 100 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on July 12.
Team owner and driver, Rob Fuller made the decision shortly after testing the new LFR Chassis at Thompson Speedway last week. Fuller is also the owner of LFR Chassis, a new company that manufactures modified and late model chassis, and this was the first test session where Fuller drove a race-ready modified chassis created by his company.
“My intention was to work the bugs out of this new chassis and when the time was right, let someone take the wheel so I could focus on the business,” said Fuller. “After the test last week, I feel this chassis can win races immediately with the right people in the correct positions. My knowledge of this chassis makes my value higher on the outside of the car. With Todd driving and me making adjustments and gathering data, I feel we can win right out of the box.”

CHARLOTTE, NC (June 3) – For second generation racer Harrison Burton, this Saturday night’s 150 lapper at South Boston Speedway for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model has special meaning. It will be the first time the younger Burton has ever competed at the speedway that helped make his father, Jeff, and uncle, Ward, famous. Although Harrison lives in Huntersville, NC, it is not lost on him what South Boston Speedway has meant to the Burton family.
“South Boston Speedway is where my family started racing stock cars and it’s definitely got a lot of history for us,” said Burton, driver of the Dex Imaging/Morton Builders/Cessna #12 Chevrolet. “I can’t wait to add to that history and possibly get a PASS win there.”

Groveton, NH – Veteran driver and perennial American Canadian Tour Championship Contender Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, NH is off to the best start of his ten (10) year ACT career and currently sits atop the standings. This Saturday, June 7, he will look to continue his run of three straight top fives as the tour heads to Riverside Speedway in Groveton, NH for the Central Asphalt Paving 150. He will have to fend off the likes of Jimmy Hebert, most recent ACT winner Ray Parent, and a host of others.
One year ago, Polewarczyk marched from his 12th place starting position to lead the final 39 laps of the ACT 150 at Riverside on his way to his second of three straight ACT wins. His three wins on the season helped him earn second in the 2013 final ACT standings. This season his hunger for a title is more apparent than ever. His intensity and focus guided him to second in the season opener at Lee, fourth at Thunder Road and third in the most recent ACT event at Airborne.
