\"ACT\"<\/a>Pole Repeats in ACT Can-Am 150 at Circuit Riverside<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ste-Croix, QC \u2013 Hudson, NH\u2019s Joey Polewarczyk Jr. turned an early setback into an opportune moment en route to winning the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) Can-Am 150 at Ste-Croix, QC\u2019s Circuit Riverside Speedway on Saturday, August 22.<\/p>\n

\"Joe<\/a>\u201cJoey Pole\u201d was involved in an incident with Martin Goulet Jr. and Brandon Atkins on lap 18 of the 150-lap event and pitted for two tires and adjustments during the resulting caution. After driving back up to third on the track, Pole inherited the lead when leaders Wayne Helliwell Jr. and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois D\u00e9ry pitted under caution with 44 laps remaining.
\n <\/p>\n

Although Helliwell and D\u00e9ry drove back up through the field, neither could touch Pole, who won the Can-Am 150 for the second straight year while taking his fifth ACT U.S. Tour victory in 10 races this season. Pole also unofficially retook the points lead from Helliwell by a single marker with three races remaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously we weren\u2019t planning on spinning early,\u201d Pole said. \u201cWe thought before the race about when to pit or if we should pit at all if the scenario was right, and then (on the caution) we made the call right at the very last minute, and it paid off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think Wayne was going to pit,\u201d he added. \u201cHe and D\u00e9ry were running pretty strong when we were in third; it was going to be tough to get around them. So I backed off a little bit trying to save in case there was another yellow. But then they both pitted, and from that point on it was just about holding those guys off.\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u00e9ry started on the pole after earning a +9 in his qualifying heat through ACT\u2019s plus\/minus handicapping system and led the first 71 laps, holding off Jonathan Bouvrette and S\u00e9rie ACT point leader Dany Tr\u00e9panier through a rash of early cautions. Helliwell entered the fray as the race approached its midpoint and got around D\u00e9ry on the race\u2019s seventh restart.<\/p>\n

Helliwell led the next 35 circuits before making his pit stop and surrendering the top spot to rival Pole. Having been handed the lead, Pole turned up the wick, fending off Tr\u00e9panier, D\u00e9ry, and Helliwell on the final two restarts for the win.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9ry finished second with Helliwell third. Tr\u00e9panier extended his S\u00e9rie ACT point lead with a fourth-place finish while Karl Allard charged from the 22nd starting position to finish fifth. Brad Babb, Alex Labb\u00e9, Patrick Cliche, Emily Packard, and Patrick Hamel rounded out the top-ten.<\/p>\n

The ACT U.S. Tour returns to Quebec along with S\u00e9rie ACT on Saturday, September 12 at Vall\u00e9e-Jct., QC\u2019s Autodrome Chaudiere. The doubleheader will see twin 200-lap features for both the ACT Late Models and the Pro All Stars Series Super Late Models. Post time is 6:00pm. S\u00e9rie ACT will be back in action for the Montmagny 150 at Autodrome Montmagny on Saturday, September 5.<\/p>\n
