\"ACT\"<\/a>Polewarczyk Wins \u201cBattle of the Border\u201d With Laperle at Airborne Spring Green<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plattsburgh, NY\u2014Hudson, NH\u2019s Joey Polewarczyk Jr. came out on top of a battle with St-Denis, QC\u2019s Patrick Laperle to win the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) Spring Green 115 at Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, NY on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Defending ACT Late Model Tour Champion \u201cJoey Pole\u201d took the lead from Laperle on lap 82 and led the rest of the way in the ACT U.S. and S\u00e9rie ACT combination event. Pole had lost the top spot to Laperle on a lap 44 restart, but stalked him for nearly 40 laps and eventually came away with his second win of the season and second straight ACT victory at Airborne.

\"Joey<\/a>\u201cAnytime you have to battle Patrick, it\u2019s tough,\u201d Pole said. \u201cHe races me with so much respect and I try to give him the same. He got me on that restart on lap 44, and it was definitely nerve-wracking trying to get back by him\u2026we got it inch by inch and kept working the inside and were finally able to get by.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bristol, VT\u2019s Josh Masterson started on the pole and pulled away early as Pole got locked into a battle with Travis Stearns for second. Pole eventually cleared Stearns and reeled in Masterson, taking the lead for the first time on lap 25.<\/p>\n

A trio of caution flags from laps 42 to 44 allowed defending ACT International winner Laperle to draw up to Pole, and the multi-time ACT champion got the jump off the outside on the race\u2019s third and final restart. Pole dropped back a few car lengths initially, but then ran in Laperle\u2019s shadow, looking first high and then low as the two drew away from the field.<\/p>\n

Pole finally got underneath Laperle with 34 laps remaining. Although Laperle was able to close back in as they worked lapped traffic, Pole ran away in open race track in the final laps to take the win.<\/p>\n

Laperle settled for second, with Stearns earning his first podium finish of the year in third. Bobby Therrien came in fourth, followed by Quebec\u2019s Jean-Francois Dery in fifth. Wayne Helliwell Jr., Brian Hoar, Rowland Robinson Jr., Nick Sweet, and Jeff White completed the top-10.<\/p>\n

The ACT Tour next heads to Speedway 51 in Groveton, NH on Saturday, May 30 for the Lil Joey Memorial\/Generation Next 151. Post time for the track\u2019s season opener is 5:30pm. ACT returns to Airborne on Saturday, July 18 and Sunday, July 19 for the 3rd Annual ACT International 500. Both the ACT Late Models and the Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models will run $10,000-to-win, 200-lap events as part of the doubleheader.<\/p>\n
