Theriault has posted Top-5 finishes in five consecutive starts dating back to late July. After winning his heat race, Theriault&#8217;s car was found too low in technical inspection and sent to the back of the consolation race. Theriault battled from the back of the consolation and B-Feature to earn the 25th starting position. The fifth-place finish marks Theriault&#8217;s best career finish at Thunder Road International Speedbowl.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nWHO:Austin Theriault, Fort Kent, Maine<br \/>\nTEAM:AT Racing No. 57ME Varney Insurance Ford<br \/>\nCREW CHIEF:Mickey Green, West Paris, Maine<\/p>\n<p>WHAT: ACT Late Model Tour Bond Auto Labor Day Classic 200<br \/>\nWHERE: Thunder Road International Speedbowl, Barre, Vt.

We had a little incident in the heat race. They found us too low. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s too low, but you take what they give you. We recovered from that luckily. We started way in the back in the Consi and the B-Feature. We were lucky to qualify.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had more laps on the left side (tires) than most of these guys. We still came through the field. We planned a little bit different strategy and got tires a little earlier than we probably should have, because we thought weather was coming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, we can&#8217;t complain. Guys came in and took tires long after we did, but we pulled through. We were a little discouraged after the heat, but we kept with it.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Theriault: ACT Late Model Tour Thunder Road Int&#8217;l Speedbowl Race Report BARRE, Vt. \u2013 Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, continued his recent hot streak on the ACT Late Model Tour, finishing fifth in the Bond Auto Labor Day Classic 200 at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt., on Sunday, September 4.
