<p>        Waterbury, VT – Officials from Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, VT and Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT have announced a Vermont State Late Model Championship Series for the 2012 race season.</p>
<p>Four (4) long distance stock car events for Late Model race teams will determine the Vermont State Late Model Champion. The American Canadian Tour (ACT) type Late Model division is the most popular form of stock car racing in the northeastern US and eastern Canada, serving the needs of racers and fans at fifteen different race tracks and two regional touring divisions.<span id="more-8857"></span></p>
<p>Thunder Road will present the historic 50th anniversary Mekkelsen RV Memorial Day Classic and annual Vermont Governors Cup 150 as part of the Vermont State series. The new owners of Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT, Mike and Alayne Bruno, have joined over a dozen regional tracks by incorporating the ACT Late Model rules as a part of their NASCAR weekly racing program.</p>
<p>Mike Bruno, a former ACT Late Model competitor himself, said, “I know how competitive these cars can be and when Tom (Curley) and I talked about this idea, it just seemed like a good fit for our first year with Devil’s Bowl Speedway, and for the entire Late Model region”.</p>
<p>Devil’s Bowl Speedway will host a 100-lap event on Friday, June 8, 2012. The Vermont State Late Model Champion will be crowned at the Devil’s Bowl season finale on Sunday, September 16, 2012. Both events will be 100 laps in distance. The two tracks will post over $10,000 in point fund money for participating teams.</p>
<p>“The ACT US Tour Late Models have put on a great show at Devil’s Bowl over the past couple years, and the opening event at Devil’s Bowl will once again be the traditional Spring Green 112 lap event.  This combined effort to give the weekly teams around the region an opportunity to have a four race weekly type series and honor the first Vermont State Late Model Champion is a nice balance between tour racing and weekly racing. I think it will be well received by Late Model teams in the region,” said Tom Curley, long time promoter of Thunder Road and the American Canadian Tour.</p>

<strong>Jimmy “Scruffy” Linardy Receives MacTavish Award</strong></p>
<p>Burlington, VT – The American Canadian Tour (ACT) crowned Brian Hoar of Williston, VT and Patrick Laperle of St-Denis, Quebec as the ACT Tour and Série ACT Castrol stock car racing champions respectively, at the ACT Banquet of Champions on Saturday, January 21 at the Double Tree Inn in Burlington, VT.

<p>Hoar earned his eighth career championship on the U.S.-based ACT Tour during another strong season in which he earned five wins in 12 events.

The special program was designed for competitors who ran the Ford crate engine on the ACT Late Model Tour, Série ACT Castrol Edge or any of the twelve ACT affiliated tracks.

They also earned feature wins at Twin State Speedway and Waterford Speedbowl on their way to the Ford title.</p>
<p>Rookie of the Year honors went to Ben Ashline of Pittston, ME and Yannick Tremblay of Chicoutimi, Quebec for the ACT Tour and Série ACT Castrol, respectively. The 21-year-old Ashline and his family team claimed 9th in the final standings of the ACT Tour. They also earned a career best 5th place finish in the Spring Green at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT. Tremblay finished 9th in the Série ACT Castrol standings on his way to the Rookie title. He also gained the respect of the veterans with his clean driving on his way to just one did not finish for the year.</p>
<p>The Crew Chief of the Year Awards were awarded for the fourth consecutive season on the U.S. tour and for the first time on the Série ACT Castrol. Eric Laperle earned the first ever Castrol Crew Chief Award as part of the two-time Série ACT Castrol Championship team with his brother Patrick behind the wheel. Bruce Bernhardt received the fourth ACT Tour Crew Chief of the Year Award as part of the second place ACT Tour and Ford Blue Oval Cup Championship team with driver Wayne Helliwell, Jr.</p>

<strong>Brian Hoar Collects 3rd Career Milk Bowl Win</strong></p>
<p>BARRE, Vt. – Brian Hoar put the finishing touches on a record-setting 2011 season Sunday by winning the 49 annual People&#8217;s United Bank Milk Bowl at Thunder Road International Speedbowl.</p>
<p>Hoar won his fifth career Milk Bowl pole in the event and won the first and third segments Sunday for his third career Milk Bowl championship. With the two segment wins, Hoar moved into sole possession of third-place for all-time segment wins.<br />
<span id="more-8246"></span><br />
“This is unbelievable,” Hoar said. “Man, that was awesome. I thought I lost it. It was wicked. I mean, unbelievable. It had been so many years since I won a race here, and I&#8217;ve always said the Milk Bowls that I won back in the &#8217;90s were just awesome.”</p>
<p>Hoar finished with a three-segment total of 14 points, including two wins and a 12th-place finish in the second segment. Hoar also won the event in 1998 and 1999.</p>
<p>Hoar and the No. 37 GossCars.com Dodge took the lead from Randy Potter on Lap 62 and then held off part-time RPM Motorsports teammate Nick Sweet over the final 13 laps.</p>
<p>The win capped off a stellar season for both Hoar and RPM Motorsports, who each won a record eighth ACT Late Model Tour championship. Hoar won six points races during the campaign and now has 33 career Tour victories, which is also a record.</p>
<p>In addition, Hoar won the ACT Goodyear Speedweeks Cup – a non-points event in Florida in February.</p>
<p>Hoar put the finishing touches on the ACT regular season on Saturday, finishing sixth in the Rent-A-Wreck Fall Foliage 200 at Airborne Speedway in Plattsburgh, N.Y. In 13 starts this season, Hoar posted only one finish of worse than sixth.</p>

BARRE, Vt. – Brent Dragon fought a tight-handling race car in the final segment and finished 14 in the 49th annual People&#8217;s United Bank Milk Bowl at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt., on Sunday, October 9.</p>
<p>Dragon put the finishing touches on the ACT Late Model Tour season on Saturday, finishing 20th in the Rent-A-Wreck Fall Foliage 200 after being caught up in an accident in his heat race and having to battle back from that.<br />
<span id="more-8254"></span><br />
“It all pretty much started (Saturday),” Dragon said. “We had probably the best car we had all year, and we got wrecked and then it just went downhill from there. We had flat tires in the race, and we still had a decent car, but we worked all night to get it fixed (for the Milk Bowl).”</p>
<p>Dragon felt the bad luck from Saturday put the No. 55 BeverageMart/Charlesbois Freightliner/Furniture World of VT Chevrolet team behind the proverbial eight-ball on Sunday at Thunder Road.</p>
<p>“We didn&#8217;t have the time to put the setup in it like the guys that have these other cars ready to go,” Dragon said. “We were lucky to qualify with that many cars. That was pretty much it.”</p>
<p>Dragon posted the 11th-fastest time of the day during time trials for the Milk Bowl and was able to secure the 14th starting spot for the first segment of the three-segment race. The car was competitive, but it called for a slight adjustment prior to the final 75-lap segment.</p>
<p>“That last segment hurt us,” Dragon said. “We were fighting it being loose all day, and we tightened it up a lot. But it got so tight you couldn&#8217;t even turn it. We just went too far with it. I&#8217;m just glad it&#8217;s over.”</p>
<p>Dragon finished seventh in the final ACT standings with three Top-5 finishes on the season.</p>
<p>“It was a tough year,” he said. “I think we had a Top-5 car pretty much everywhere. We just had some tough times. We&#8217;ll have to do some thinking and see what we can do for next year. That&#8217;s really it – it&#8217;s just time to go do some hunting.”</p>

O’Donnell, Adams and Woodard Lock Up Thunder Road Championships</p>
<p>Barre, VT – Eight-time ACT Late Model Tour Champion Brian Hoar of Williston, VT claimed his third career People’s United Bank Milk Bowl win at Thunder Road in Barre, VT on Sunday, October 9. Hoar claimed the 49th running of the Milk Bowl by winning two segments, while holding off a hard charging Nick Sweet over the final 15 laps of the third and final segment. Hoar and his Rick Paya Motorsports team will cash a check of over $10,000 including lap money.<br />
<span id="more-8244"></span><br />
Hoar claimed the Booth Bros./H.P. Hood pole award, setting the fast time in time trials. He cruised to an easy first segment win while leading all 50 laps. Sweet was on his back bumper to take second. The two then worked their way through the field during the 75-lap second segment with Hoar taking twelfth and Sweet in tenth.</p>
<p>The two trailed Scott Payea going into the third segment of 75 laps. Payea held the lead with ten points (4th and 6th), while Sweet had twelve points and Hoar had thirteen.</p>
<p>Sweet, the 2010 Thunder Road “King of the Road,” followed Hoar through the field during the third and final segment including a three wide move to stick to Hoar’s rear bumper. The duo took the first and second spots with under fifteen laps remaining to setup the final duel.  Sweet made a charge on the outside, but didn’t have enough to get by. The pair both finished with a combined 14 points with Hoar winning the tie breaker with a better third segment finish.</p>
<p>Payea worked his way up to a twelfth place finish in the third segment to take third overall with 22 points. Lt. Governor Phil Scott (23 pts.) and Jean-Paul Cyr (24 pts.) completed the top five. 2011 “King of the Road” Dave Pembroke (24pts.) took sixth followed by 2010 Milk Bowl Champion Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. (25 pts.) in seventh. Mike Bailey claimed the second segment win for eighth with 33 points. Austin Theriault (36 pts.) and Craig Bushey (40 points) rounded out the top ten.</p>
<p>Derrick O’Donnell of Bradford, VT picked up his third win of the season and took the 2011 Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen Championship. O’Donnell out ran Jason Allen, Shawn Fleury, Eric Badore and Jason Corliss to cap off his championship season. Brendan Moodie, Mike Ziter, Alex Ferno, Kyle Pembroke and Christopher Pelkey completed the top ten.</p>
<p>Hardwick, VT’s Greg Adams, Jr. claimed the Allen Lumber Street Stock Championship by just three points after finishing sixth in the final feature. Troy Kingsbury claimed the feature win with Thomas Placey in second. Nick Pilotte took third, which was just three points behind Adams in the title hunt. Keith Fortier and Kyle Streeter completed the top five.</p>
<p>Jason Woodard of Waterbury, VT capped off his Junkyard Warrior championship with his ninth win of the season. Danny Brassard and Tommy Elwood completed the podium.</p>
