Thunder Road Int’l Speedbowl Race Preview
Brian Hoar of Williston, Vt., looks to capture his second Bond Auto Labor Day Classic 200 when the ACT Late Model Tour heads to its home track, Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt., on Sunday, September 4. Only three races stand between Hoar and an unprecedented eighth ACT championship for both he and RPM Motorsports. After three wins at Thunder Road in the late ’90s, Hoar has found himself running in the Top-5 at what he considers one of the “weakest tracks” for both himself and the No. 37 GossCars.com Dodge. Yet, despite that, Hoar has not finished outside of the Top-10 this season and has notched four wins.

Joey Polewarczyk Jr looking for redemption in this year’s Labor Day Classic at Thunder Road
(Barre, VT) – ACT Late Model Standout Joey Polewarczyk Jr of Hudson, NH looks for redemption in a race that he led the most laps in, last season.
What a difference a year makes in the world of racing. At this point last year, #97NH Joey Polewarczyk was riding a winning streak; seldom seen on a Late Model Tour of this caliber. The young driver ended up winning the last 5 out of 10 ACT Point and non-point races, including the Vermont Milk Bowl at Thunder Road Speedbowl. This year the Polewarczyk Race Team are looking for their first win, since a February trip to New Smyrna Speedway in Florida saw Joey capture the Inaugural Goodyear Speedweeks Cup.
