Polewarczyk Rolls to Spring Green Victory at Airborne Park Speedway
\nGonyo dominates Modified feature; Terry, O\u2019Neil grab wins<\/strong><\/p>\n

PLATTSBURGH, NY \u2013 Joey Polewarczyk Jr. continued his mastery of Airborne Park Speedway on Sunday, May 17 with a convincing victory in the American-Canadian Tour\u2019s Bill McBride Chevrolet Spring Green presented by Interstate Batteries. The race, postponed one day by inclement weather, was worth the wait as the Hudson, NH driver put on a show at the front of the field with Patrick Laperle.<\/p>\n

The pair battled for the majority of the 115-lap race and traded the lead three times. Polewarczyk dogged his St-Denis, QC rival and made the winning move at lap 82, then pulled away in the final circuits for his fourth ACT win at Airborne since October 2011. Laperle settled for second and was the highest finishing Canadian; in addition to being the fourth event of the U.S.-based ACT Late Model Tour schedule, the Spring Green opened the championship schedule for the Qu\u00e9bec-based S\u00e9rie ACT as well as the Qu\u00e9bec Triple Crown Series at Airborne.
\n<\/p>\n

Travis Stearns of Auburn, ME won a long battle with Airborne opening night Ground Round Late Model division Bobby Therrien of Hinesburg, VT for third place. Jean-Fran\u00e7ois D\u00e9ry of Qu\u00e9bec City was fifth. Wayne Helliwell Jr. finished sixth, followed by Brian Hoar, Rowland Robinson Jr., Nick Sweet, and Jeff White.<\/p>\n

The NASCAR Whelen All-American Series presented by Yandow Sales & Service and John Deere was also in action with three divisions. Leon Gonyo dominated the 35-lap feature for the J&S Steel Modified division to take his first victory of the season. The race ran flag-to-flag without a caution period, allowing the Chazy, NY veteran to stretch out to a comfortable lead and cruise to the win.<\/p>\n

Jamie LaFountain had a strong run in second place end early as his car overheated, making way for an airtight battle between Codie Aubin and Jason Durgan. Hometown driver Aubin beat Durgan in a drag race off the final corner for the runner-up position. Greg Atkins came through traffic at mid-race to finish fourth, and Vince Quenneville Jr. held off Nick Heywood and Bucko Branham for fifth place. Rookies Danny Sullivan and Timex Morgan came from deep in the field to finish eighth and ninth, respectively, and Jayson Criss completed the top 10.<\/p>\n

Atkins took over the lead in the Yandow Sales & Service\/John Deere \u201cSpring Championship Series\u201d after the third of seven races. Heywood trails by just two points, 153-151, with Quenneville, Durgan, and Gonyo close behind. The next event is at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT on Saturday, May 23.<\/p>\n

The Key R-D Trailer Sales Renegade feature was the wildest race of the day with three late-race cautions and several lead changes. Josh Terry of Essex, NY won after a long battle with Brent Jarvis and a final-lap surge from Shawn Duquette. Morrisonville, NY veteran Duquette finished second; Jarvis crossed the line in third place but failed post-race inspection with an unapproved transmission part. Richie Turner, from 17th starting position, inherited the final podium spot followed by Zack Daniels and Robert Gordon.<\/p>\n

Dale O\u2019Neil of Mooers, NY continued a strong start to his season by winning the 15-lap feature for the Busch Beer Mini-Modifieds; he also won a main event at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway on May 9. Kris Clark was stripped of his apparent runner-up finish in the inspection line for too much wheel camber. Chris LaVair moved up into second place ahead of Pete Blaney, Tim LaFountain, and Tyler Irwin.<\/p>\n

Airborne Park Speedway returns to action on Saturday night, May 30 as Casella and Morrisonville Septic present double features for the Modified division and a 50-lap Enduro event. The Renegades and Mini-Modifieds will also run under the lights. General admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and free for children age 12 and under; racing will begin at 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Airborne Park Speedway is located on Broderick Road in Plattsburgh, NY, one mile south of Exit 36 on the Interstate 87 Northway.
