Lowrey Looking for First CARQUEST Vermont Governors Cup Win
For Immediate Release TR-070907-3
BARRE, VT Late Model stock car racer Rich Lowrey of Charlotte is ready for a breakthrough victory, and thinks that the 25th CARQUEST Vermont Governors Cup 100 at Barres Thunder Road on Thursday would be a nice addition to his racing resume. The Vermont Governors Cup event has had a quirky history of on-again-off-again seasons since its inception in 1961. The was bounced between Thunder Road and the former Catamount Stadium in Milton during its early years and featured several different types of race car, but the list of past champions reads like a whos who of short track racing. The Governors Cup is one of the races I circled on my calendar over the winter, there is a lot of history there, said Lowrey. Robbie Crouch, Bobby Dragon, and Dave Dion have won it a bunch of times, and it would be an honor to have my name on the list with them. Ive won the Mid-Season Championship at Thunder Road twice, and thats special, but Id really like a big win like the Governors Cup. Lowrey says that in addition to the prestige of the event, he and the océ/Blockbuster #8 team are looking forward to the longer race distance. I enjoy racing the weekly events at Thunder Road, but sometimes it feels like the regular 50 lap races are maybe not enough to show our hand, he said. Our car does well in the longer races, and we like our chances in the 100-lapper. Several top drivers from the American-Canadian Tour are expected to challenge Lowrey and the Thunder Road Late Model stars, including Hudson, NH teenager and Thunder Road track record holder Joey Pole Polewarczyk, Jr. Green flag qualifying action for the 25th CARQUEST Vermont Governors Cup 100 begins at an early start time of 6:00pm on Thursday, July 12. General admission for the special event is $12 for adults, $5 for children (6-12), and just $25 for a family ticket.

Track Record Holder Joey Pole to Race at Vermont Governors Cup
For Immediate Release TR-071101-1
BARRE, VT New Hampshire stock car racer Joey Pole Polewarczyk, Jr. will compete in the 25th CARQUEST Vermont Governors Cup 100 at Barres Thunder Road on Thursday. The 19 year-old Hudson, NH driver holds the one- lap time trial record at the historic ¼-mile oval, and is one of the leading members of the New Breed of Late Model racers in New England. Were hoping to win the Governors Cup at Thunder Road, said Polewarczyk. Dave Dions race shop is in Hudson about ten minutes from where I live, and hes won the Governors Cup three times. I think it would be pretty cool to bring the win back to Hudson. Polewarczyk broke the Thunder Road Track Record with a lap of 12.935 seconds in qualifying at the Vermont Milk Bowl last fall, and scored his best career finish in the American-Canadian Tours White Mountain 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park on June 30. Polewarczyk drove from 19th place to finish second, hot on the heels of winner Brent Dragon. Similar in size and shape to Thunder Road, many drivers use the North Woodstock, NH facility as a proving ground for Thunder Road, and vice versa. I like both tracks a lot. There are things you can learn at White Mountain and use at Thunder Road, and it works both ways, explained the second-generation driver. We had a great run at White Mountain last time out, and this team is ready to win. Were looking forward to Thunder Road, and we would love to get our first win there. Other New Breed drivers expected to challenge Joey Pole at the CARQUEST Vermont Governors Cup 100 on Thursday include feature winners Marcel Gravel of Wolcott and Chip Grenier of Northfield, as well as Shawn Fleury of Middlesex, Mike Bailey of Barre, and Brooks Clark of Fayston. Former Kings of the Road Phil Scott of Middlesex, Cris Michaud of Williamstown, and Dave Whitcomb of Essex Junction, will try to fend off the youngsters, as will current point leader Dave Pembroke of Montpelier. Green flag qualifying action for the 25th CARQUEST Vermont Governors Cup 100 begins at an early post time of 6:00pm on Thursday, July 12. Tiger Sportsmen, Allen Lumber Street Stocks, and Power Shift Junkyard Warriors will also be in action, and general admission for the special event is $12 for adults, $5 for children (6-12), and only $25 for a family of four.
