Brian Hoar Claims Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Pole

Williston, Vermont’s Brian Hoar claimed the Booth Bros./H.P. Hood pole position for the 48th Annual People’s United Bank Milk Bowl at Thunder Road in Barre on Sunday, October 3. The two-time (1998 and 1999) Milk Bowl Champion set a fast time of 13.001 on the day. Three-time Milk Bowl pole sitter Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, NH was just 22 one-thousandths of a second of Hoars time and will sit on the outside pole.

An impressive 61 ACT Late Models completed time trials. The fast three times, which were Hoar, Polewarczyk and Montreal, Quebec’s Patrick Laperle set the top three spots in the segment 1 line-up of the Milk Bowl. The Triple 50 lap heat races added the top five finishers from each to the starting lineup. Brent Dragon, John Donahue and Joey Laquerre claimed the wins in the Triple 50s. The next six spots were filled in based on the six fastest times that were not qualified yet.

The first 24 positions are now set for tomorrow’s 48th Annual People’s United Bank Milk Bowl. The final six positions will be decided the Last Chance race which will be set to roll at 1:00pm tomorrow, Sunday, October 3 at “The Nation’s Site of Excitement” Thunder Road in Barre.
