Joey Polewarczyk Jr. PASS Series- WMMP Race Preview
For Immediate Release JPR05182011-11
N. Woodstock, N.H.- Pro All-Star Series Driver #97 Joey Polewarczyk Jr of Hudson N.H. will make his second consecutive start in the Super Late Model Series, when they visit the extremely fast quarter-mile White Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP) this Saturday, May 21, 2011
Polewarczyk Jr, coming off his Career best third place finish at Star Speedway on May 14, looks to continue with his recent success in the Series. “We felt that getting the podium finish at Star was a weight lifted off our shoulders. We knew the Pole’s Automotive, N.H. Precision, Hedman Hedders Ford Fusion was capable but we just needed to seize the opportunity” Joey says.
“The Ford Fusion received some pretty heavy cosmetic and right-front suspension damage in the Star race but we made some good progress the repairs over the last couple days, that’s why we are going to White Mountain Motorsports Park.” Explains Polewarczyk Jr. “We had no intention of racing up at WMMP because we thought the damage was more extensive”
Polewarczyk Jr has many starts at WMMP in the lower divisions and in the Late Model division. Joey went on to say: “We anticipate quite a few more PASS Teams to be here this coming weekend; than were at Star Speedway and hopefully we stay out of trouble and come away with a solid Top 10”

Driver Q and A
Joey, you have had many opportunities to drive at White Mountain in years past in the lower divisions but not in your PASS Super Late Model, how do you use that experience in this Weekends race?
Well, having raced here in the Late Model Division; you learn what grooves work best. It is no different in the SLM but with the additional power and wider tires, you are able to drive deeper into the corners, but you still have to be respectful of the drivers around you. We think we have a great set-up at WMMP and we are thinking, once we get through a couple rounds of practice, we will be good to go.

Joey Polewarczyk Jr. ACT-Devil’s Bowl Race Preview
For Immediate Release JPR05182011-12
West Haven, VT – The leader of the youth movement on the American- Canadian Tour; 21-year-old, #97 Joey Polewarczyk Jr of Hudson N.H. is excited about making his first ever start at the recently paved half-mile oval of Devil’s Bowl Speedway, located in West Haven, Vermont.
The ACT Late Model Tour makes its Devil’s Bowl debut in the Spring Green 111. The former dirt track was paved before the onset of the 2010 season and the Thunder Road ACT type Late Models and a select number of Tour drivers drove in a highly successful race last year, which was a stepping-stone to getting the ACT to sanction an event in 2011. With the addition of the new asphalt, Devil’s Bowl becomes only the second track in the state of Vermont to hold an ACT Race. The other track of course is Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre, VT
Upcoming Event Information
WHAT: Spring Green 111
WHERE: Devil’s Bowl Speedway – West Haven, VT
WHEN: Sunday, May 22, 2011
DISTANCE: 111 laps (55.5 miles)
SANCTION: American-Canadian Tour, Ltd. (ACT)
Driver Q and A
Joey, what are your thoughts on going to the newly paved Devil’s Bowl for the first time?
We are very excited to go there, we have only seen the track through pictures, but it looks like a very racy, flat miniature version of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. We love going to places that we have never been before, we feel it is a real measuring stick on how good of a team you are. We think the team is just starting to gel and getting the Pole’s Automotive, NH Precision, Hedman Hedders Ford into Victory Lane would be fantastic.
Last week the Oxford ACT Race was rained out, how does that affect the team chemistry?
We are fortunate that we were able to race at Star Speedway last weekend, so our team kept fresh and I feel that I did as well. We know that everyone for the most part will be on an even playing field when we go to Devil’s Bowl but like most races you go to, you just try to get that edge and constantly competing is one of the ways to stay focused
