Jeff White
Takes First ACT Win in Big JAB 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway
Winthrop,
Maine’s Jeff White earned his first career American Canadian Tour win in
dominant fashion at his hometrack of Oxford Plains
Speedway on Saturday, June 4. White led all but three laps in the Big JAB 150
while battling with seven time and defending ACT
Champion Brian Hoar.
Hoar held
on for second followed by Brent Dragon, Joey Polewarczyk,
Jr. and another Oxford regular TJ Brackett rounding out the top five. Shawn
Martin completed the three Oxford regulars in the top ten with a sixth. Wayne Helliwell was the biggest mover in the 150 lap event as he
came all the way from 32nd to finished seventh. Eric Chase, Jeff
Labrecque, Jr., and 2010 ACT Rookie of the Year Brad Babb completed the top
ten.
A total of
41 ACT Late Models attempted to qualify for the 33 car field. The 150 lap event
was completed in just 1 hour and four minutes with just three cautions. Twelve of the 33 car field finished on the lead lap.
With his
first career ACT win, White also earns an invite to the ACT Invitational at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 24. He joins Hoar, Nick Sweet,
Patrick Laperle, John Donahue and Daniel Descoste on the list of ACT winners that have received an
invite so far in 2011.
The ACT
Late Model Tour has next weekend off before making its annual trip to White
Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, NH on Saturday, June 18 for a 150
lap event.
