NEW ENGLAND DODGE DEALERS FINALE
QUICK RESULTS
September 13, 2008
Laperle dominates Dodge ACT 150;
Short, Karkos capture Little Guy 100s
OXFORD, Maine - Patrick Laperle of St. Denis, Quebec, dominated the
final 101 laps to capture the New England Dodge Dealers 150
American-Canadian Tour event Saturday at Oxford Plains Speedway.
Laperle took the lead from Glen Luce on lap 50 and survived a brief battle with ACT rookie Nick Sweet after the third and final restart of the race on lap 144.
The result represented the second ACT win at Oxford for Laperle and career-best finishes on the tour for runner-up Sweet and third-place Luce.
Luce also finished second in the TD Banknorth 250 at Oxford in July.
Joey Polewarczyk Jr. and Eddie MacDonald finished fourth and 10th, respectively, after qualifying through the last-chance 'B' feature.
Polewarczyk and MacDonald made the approximate three-hour commute from the NASCAR Camping World East race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., where MacDonald won and Polewarczyk placed sixth.
OPS weekly competitor Shawn Martin rounded out the top five. MacDonald edged Martin by a tiebreaker to win the four-race L/A Harley-Davidson Challenge series and the $2,000 first-place check from that point fund.
Nearly 600 laps of green-flag racing thrilled fans for 6 1/2 hours in Oxford's season finale.
Mike Short (Strictly Stock) and Justin Karkos (MIni Stock) captured the 13th annual Little Guy 100 open competition races.
David Childs won a pair of Chimney Tech Outlaw races, including a 50-lapper rained out from last Saturday's Acceleration Series Showdown and the regularly scheduled 20-lap sprint.
Rick Spaulding (Outlaw), Jamie Leavitt (Runnin' Rebel), Jake Burns (Truck), Vanna Brackett (Ladies) and Jamie Heath (Renegade) also went to victory lane on the busy program.
