“Pole” on the Pole Again at Chittenden Milk Bowl

By admin September 29, 2007

Teenage American-Canadian Tour (ACT) stock car racing sensation Joey “Pole” Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, NH lived up to his nickname at Thunder Road International Speedbowl on Saturday afternoon, setting fast time in Booth Bros./H.P. Hood time trial qualifying for the 44th Chittenden Milk Bowl. With a best lap of 12.967 seconds around the high-banked ¼-mile oval, Polewarczyk earned $1,000 and the pole starting position for Sunday’s three-segment, cumulatively scored race for the second straight year.

Polewarczyk will be joined on the front row of Chittenden Milk Bowl Segment I by former ACT Late Model Tour Champion Dave Whitcomb of Essex Jct., VT, who was locked into the starting lineup based on his best lap 13.092 seconds. White Mountain Motorsports Park Track Champion Quinny Welch of Lancaster, NH was locked into the third starting position with a lap time of 13.124 seconds.

Joey Laquerre of East Montpelier, VT, Phil Scott of Middlesex, VT, and Serie ACT Castrol Champion Patrick Laperle of Montreal, QC each won their 50-lap qualifying races, and will start in positions four through six. Multi-time ACT Champions Brian Hoar of Williston, VT and Robbie Crouch of Tampa, FL will occupy row number four. Turner, ME racers Ben Rowe and Glen Luce will round out the Top 10 starters on Sunday.

Sunday’s racing action begins at 1:00pm with a pair of last-chance “B” Feature qualifying races. With twenty cars scheduled to start each race, only the winners will transfer to the 44th Annual Chittenden Milk Bowl starting grid.
