ACT YOUNG GUNS POLEWARCZYK, THERIAULT, AND BABB LEAD THE WAY
Waterbury, VT – Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (BRMS) in Scarborough, ME is perhaps the most neutral track the American Canadian Tour (ACT) visits during the season-long touring campaign. There will be no weekly teams that enter the event; by design, it might be compared to Oxford Plains Speedway, but veterans will tell you that is not true; it races as good as any track the Tour visits; and the atmosphere from the staff and management to the fans is first class. The food is also some of the best.

Beech Ridge Motor Speedway release
Scarborough, Maine- Charlie Colby scored his first NASCAR Whelan All American Series race win on Saturday night at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway following the 40 lap Pro Series main event.

The 8 cars behind the leaders were also side by side with racing room not available. Moore powered around Gahan on lap 30 and appeared to be headed to his first win. But contact between Dan McKeage and Bob Gahan brought out the caution flag on lap 34 as Gahan got the worst end of the contact and went spinning. On the restart Moore and Colby went side by side for the lead with Colby powering to the top on lap 35 and McKeage moving to the second position. Over the final 4 laps, McKeage tried to peek inside of Colby but could not get the job done as Colby sailed under the checkered flag for the win. McKeage was second with Trevor Sanborn third.
