Adams Leads Oxford Plains Drivers to ACT Event

OXFORD, ME – Champion stock car driver Travis Adams will lead
his home-track contingent to the American-
Canadian Tour's New England Dodge Dealers 150 at Oxford Plains
Speedway on Saturday, April 26. Adams, of Canton,
ME won the last ACT Late Model Tour event held at the fast 3/8-mile
oval in October, and has captured three of the
last five Late Model Track Championships there.
Long touted as a potential winner in ACT competition, Adams
downplayed the situation until he finally
broke through in 2007. "It's like you're just one of the competitive
ones – 'Oh, he's a threat to win,'" he told
writer Travis Barrett at a press conference on Tuesday, "but if you
don't win, I don't really consider you a
threat." Adams dropped the self-imposed illusion following his
October score, a race in which he battled former
Oxford Plains Speedway ACT Late Model Tour event winner Scott Dragon
of Milton, VT for nearly 150 laps. He also
finished third at the Time Warner Cable 100 at OPS in August, and then
became the fourth OPS regular to win an ACT
race, joining Ricky Rolfe (2002), Ryan Moore (2001), and two-time
winner Shawn Martin (2004 and '06).
Hudson, NH teenager Joey "Pole" Polewarczyk, Jr. won the ACT
Late Model Tour season opener at Lee USA (NH)
Speedway last Sunday, dominating over Rowley, MA racer Eddie MacDonald
and Northfield, VT's Cris Michaud.
MacDonald won the ACT Time Warner Cable 100 at Oxford Plains Speedway
last August, while Polewarczyk finished
third in the New England Dodge Dealers 150 last April. Michaud is a
three-time Late Model Track Champion at
Barre, VT's Thunder Road. All three are expected to compete on
Saturday, among as many as 50 drivers from the
northeastern U.S. and Canada.
Green flag action for the American-Canadian Tour's New England
Dodge Dealers 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway
begins at 2:00pm on Saturday, April 26.
