\"Booth<\/a>Barre, VT – Racing stateside is becoming very agreeable with 2013 S\u00e9rie ACT Runner-up Alex Labbe of St-Albert, QC.<\/p>\n

One week after winning the ACT Fall Foliage 200 at Airborne Park Speedway, the 20-year-old Canadian racer won the Booth Brothers\/HP Hood pole award at Thunder Road and will start on the point in Sunday\u2019s (October 6) 51st Peoples United Bank Milk Bowl. He became the first Quebec driver to earn the pole award and the $1,000 bonus since Patrick Laperle in 2002.<\/p>\n

Labbe best 49 other ACT Late Model teams when he turned Saturday\u2019s fastest lap (13.159) in qualifying. Three-time Milk Bowl winner Brian Hoar (13.206) will be his partner on the front row.
\n
\n\u201cThis was my second time trying to qualify for the Milk Bowl,\u201d the former go-kart racer said. \u201cThe first time, in 2010, I didn\u2019t make it. I just wanted to get into the race, but the car felt really good. I practiced on older tires, but I went out on new tires for the time trial. In the 50-lap race, I let (Patrick) Laperle go. I want to keep my stuff for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laperle, like Hoar a three-time Milk Bowl winner, handily won the first of three 50-lap qualifying events. He will start 3rd, alongside 2013 Thunder Road Late Model champion Derrick O\u2019Donnell of North Haverhill, NH. O\u2019Donnell edged Barre\u2019s Cody Blake in a tight battle in the second 50-lapper.<\/p>\n

Row three will be comprised of Joey Polewarczyk Jr. of Hudson, NH and Trampas Demers of South Burlington. Joey \u201cPole\u201d ran the final half of his 50-lap qualifier up on the rim of the race track while Nick Sweet pressed him from the low groove. Polewarczyk Jr negotiated lapped traffic well enough to beat Sweet to the finish line by 0.03 seconds.<\/p>\n

The Milk Bowl B-Feature Last Chance race rounded out the day\u2019s events. Barre\u2019s own Jim \u201cBoomer\u201d Morris won the 25 lap event, while Bobby Therrien took second. Both were good enough to qualify. Brooks Clark and Labor Day Classic winner Travis Stearns claimed provisionals to round out the 30 car field.<\/p>\n

The first half of the Bond Auto Tiger Sportsman \u201cMini Milk Bowl\u201d, consisting of 35 raucous, high-attrition laps, was won by Jason Woodard of Waterbury. Seasonal point leader Shawn Fleury moved closer to claiming the 2013 track championship by placing second at Woodard\u2019s bumper, just ahead of his closest rival Mike Ziter of Barre.<\/p>\n

Groveton, NH\u2019s Jason Kenison claimed the first leg of the Allen Lumber Street Stocks Mini-Milk Bowl. He edged out Donnie Yates and Nick Pilotte.<\/p>\n

Post time for the running of the 51st People\u2019s United Bank Milk Bowl, comprised of three 50-lap segments, is set for 1:00 p.m tomorrow (Sunday, October 6). The Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen and Allen Lumber Street Stocks will run their final segments of their Mini-Milk Bowls and the Rough Riders will be on hand for a special event of their own. Opening ceremonies begin at 1:00pm.<\/p>\n
