Kawartha 9/15 event results and story


ACT Racer Laperle Sizzles at Kawartha Speedway

For Immediate Release                        ACT-091507-1

   
FRASERVILLE, ON Quebec Late Model stock car driver Patrick Laperle dominated the $50,000 ACTion Super
Series Summer Sizzler 200 at Kawartha Speedway in Fraserville, Ontario Saturday night, taking his second
American-Canadian Tour victory of the season.  Laperle, a native of St-Denis, QC outside Montreal, earned a
cool $6,000 for his win.
   
I like fast race tracks like Kawartha, said Laperle in victory lane, who had never seen the state-of-the-
art 4/10-mile speedplant until this weekend.  It reminds me of the track in Lakeland, Florida, but its
just a little bit smaller.  I love Lakeland, and now I love Kawartha.
   
Driving a car built by multi-time ACT Champion and Canadian racing legend Junior Hanley, Laperle took the
lead from Brian Hoar on lap 44 and was able to run the entire 200 laps without pitting for tires or fuel. 
Laperle has been running in selective ACT Late Model Tour events in 2007, focusing his efforts on winning
the Serie ACT Castrol championship in Canada.  He leads the point standings in that series entering the 300-
lap season finale at Autodrome St-Eustache (Montreal) on Sunday, Sept. 23.
   
Pete Vanderwyst carried the Ontario banner, finishing in the runner-up position in his first career ACT
start.  A veteran of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and the American Speed Association, the St. Thomas, ON
driver was filling in for third-place ACT Late Model Tour point man Rocket Roger Brown of Lancaster, New
Hampshire, who was unable to attend the race.
   
Eighteen year-old Hudson, NH driver Joey Pole Polewarczyk, Jr. finished third, hot on Vanderwysts
heels.  Scott Payea of Milton, VT and Randy Potter of Groveton, NH finished fourth and fifth,
respectively.  Kawartha Speedway point leader Larry Jackson finished sixth, unofficially, ahead of Donald
Theetge, Robbie Thompson, Scott Dragon, and Eric Chase.  ACT point leader Jean-Paul Cyr finished 11th, the
final car on the lead lap.  The finish was Cyrs first outside the Top 10 in eleven races this year.
   
The ACTion Super Series returns to Thunder Road Intl Speedbowl in Barre, VT for the 44th Annual Chittenden
Milk Bowl on Sat./Sun., Sept. 29/30.  For more information, call (802) 244-6963 or visit www.acttour.com.
