Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. Wins 48th Annual People’s United Bank Milk Bowl
Rossi, MacAskill and Christmam Earn Thunder Road Championships
Hudson, New Hampshire’s Joey “Pole” Polewarczyk, Jr. earned his second big American-Canadian Tour win in a month at the 48th Annual People’s United Bank Milk Bowl at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, VT. Pole, who won the second annual ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in September, won the first 50-lap segment of the Milk Bowl after missing his fourth career pole award by just 22 one-thousandths of a second. He completed his win by finishing seventh and fourth respectively in the final two 75-lap segments. Pole’s win earned him a check of over $10,000 in the non-point counting event.
Pole sitter Brian Hoar held the lead at the beginning of the third segment as he sped his way through to the front while Pole was stuck in heavy traffic. Once the traffic cleared Pole methodically worked his way to the front and eventually got around Hoar to seal the win with a combined 12 points. Hoar would use his third segment finish of fifth to claim second after a tie breaker with last year’s Milk Bowl Champion John Donahue, who claimed third. The two both finished with 20 points but Hoar’s better finish in the final segment earned him the spot.
Brent Dragon and Joey Laquerre completed the top five, while Patrick Laperle, Eric Williams, Dave Pembroke, Jamie Fisher and Ben Rowe rounded out the top ten. The three segments were won by Pole, Pete Potvin, and Jean-Paul Cyr.
The Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen completed their 2010 season with a 50 lap main event. Bradford, VT’s Derrick O’Donnell picked up his third win of the season, while Tom Therrien, Mike Ziter, Eric Badore and Troy Gray completed the top five. Tony Rossi of Peacham, VT used his sixth place finish to earn the 2010 Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen track championship.
The Allen Lumber Street Stocks also concluded their championship season with Williamstown, VT’s Mike MacAskill taking the crown. Sid Sweet, Jr. also of Williamstown took the feature win followed by Ron Gabaree, Tim Campbell, Will Hennequin and Alex Whitcomb rounding out the top five.
Cabot, VT’s Ken Christman finished of his dominating Junkyard Warrior Championship season with his 12th win in just 18 starts. He was followed by Kevin Dodge, Mike Devino, Fred Schroeder and Matt Leblanc.
