Dragon Takes Emotional ACT Victory at White Mountain
For Immediate Release ACT-070107-1
NORTH WOODSTOCK, NH Stock car driver Brent Dragon of Milton, VT took a hard-fought and emotional victory in the American-Canadian Tour White Mountain 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday night. Dragon, who dedicated his victory to fallen team member Mark Arsenault, battled a host of drivers during the entire distance before nailing down the eighth ACT win of his career. Dragons Beverage Mart/Furniture World of Vermont Chevrolet started on the outside of the front row next to polesitter Ryan Vanasse of Warwick, RI. Both drivers worked from the rear of their qualifying heat races to earn a +7 value in the ACT Late Model Tours unique plus/minus handicap qualifying system. Vanasse lead the first 94 laps, but faced strong challenges from Dragon, Eric Williams, Quinny Welch, Randy Potter, Scott Dragon, and point leader and defending ACT Late Model Tour Champion Jean-Paul Cyr. Heavy lapped traffic forced Vanasse to work the outside lane, where his car began to slip sideways. Potter dove underneath Vanasse to take the lead on lap 95, but met a similar fate as Brent Dragon drove by to take over on lap 100. Dragon then fended off Potter, Cyr, and Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. to grab the victory. With the help of many of friends, Cyr produced the biggest comeback of the season. A hard crash in qualifying with White Mountain Motorsports Park regulars Bernie Lantagne and Rick Thompson left Cyrs car crippled. Thinking that the damage was too severe to repair, Cyr and car owner Rick Paya were ready to withdraw from the event. To their surprise, volunteers from eight different race teams went to work on Cyrs Sticks & Stuff/Ehlers RV Chevrolet, and the Milton, VT driver was able to qualify for the main event through the last-chance B feature. From there, he started 27th and flew through the field before finishing in third place. Cyr has now finished on the podium in each of the seasons first five events. No drivers were injured in the qualifying crash. Polewarczyk had an impressive drive from 19th at the start to earn his career-best finish in second, just ahead of Cyr. The 18 year-old Hudson, NH native, who graduated from Alvirne High School just three weeks ago, hung tough in the outside lane for most of the White Mountain 150. Groveton, NH veteran Randy Potter earned his third top-five finish of the season as he eventually settled for fourth place. Milton, VTs Scott Dragon finished fifth for his best run of the year. Scott Payea of Milton, VT, who entered the event second in ACT Late Model Tour point standings, finished sixth after starting 24th. Quinny Welch of Lancaster, NH was the top-finishing White Mountain Motorsports Park regular in seventh. Vanasse faded to eighth place, ahead of Briantree, VTs Kip Stockwell. Hyde Park, VT driver Eric Williams, who was Vanasses first challenger for the early lead, recovered from a lap 26 spin to round out the unofficial top ten finishers. The ACT Late Model Tour will be in action at Maines Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday, July 7. Hometown racers from Oxford Plains Speedways Saturday night Late Model division will try to take their fifth victory over the ACT Late Model Tour stars in the Time Warner Cable 100. The race serves as the final tune-up for the $150,000 TD Banknorth 250 on Sunday, July 22. Green flag qualifying action for the Time Warner Cable 100 is scheduled to begin at 6:30pm.
