Eighteen year-old stock car racing sensation Joey “Pole” Polewarczyk, Jr. blistered the American-Canadian Tour
field at Lee USA Speedway on Sunday, taking his second career victory at the New Hampshire Governor’s Cup 100. The Hudson, NH ace took the
lead from polesitter Larry Gelinas after starting third, and dominated the balance of the event to take the win in just over 46
minutes. Polewarczyk said that for 2008, his team is “all business.”

“We’re focused on winning the ACT Late Model Tour title,” he said. “We had a checkered flag design on the car last year,
and we decided to leave it off this year, just black, nothing else. We’re all business.”

Polewarczyk’s no-frills car was the class of the field, at times leading by more than a full straightaway. Rowley, MA
driver Eddie MacDonald won a late-race battle with Scott Payea, Randy Potter, and Cris Michaud to take second-place honors.
MacDonald finished fifth in a 150-lap event at Greenville, South Carolina on Saturday night, and flew into New England on Sunday
morning. Michaud, of Northfield, VT, finished third from 19th starting position over Milton, VT driver Payea and Groveton, NH’s
Potter.

Unofficially, rookie Ricky Wolf, Jr. of Northwood, NH finished sixth. Eric Chase, Patrick Laperle, Ron Henry, and Brent
Dragon finished in positions six through ten. Seven-time and defending ACT Late Model Tour Champion Jean-Paul Cyr of Milton, VT
crashed out on lap 4 after contact with Bobby Baillargeon in Turn 3. Neither driver was injured.

The ACT Late Model Tour travels to Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway on Saturday, April 26 for the New England Dodge Dealers

Looks like he's got a good career ahead of him. Top 10 in points last year.

He's been on the tour for 3 years-just turned 18. Now, I need to get him the $$$ to get to the next level...

$$$$$$ Very tough now a days in sponsorship.

Talk to the folks at " Just Marketing". They do motorsports only.

I got to know a few of the cup staff back in 05'. Really nice people. They might be able to help you.

Most late model is regional sponsorship. Try all the regional car dealers or large businesses.

National corporate sponsorship is always looking for a return on their advertising and is tough on regional racing getting no tv exposure.

A lot of times regional sponsorship mixes a needed return on their investment along with the company owner getting face time at the track.

In this election year, don't overlook local politicians as advertisers.

Since Dave Moody, MRN announcer lives in NH, a few emails to him may give some help.

You may already know all this this, I learned the hard way. One reason my regional racing never went anywhere was because of sponsorship.
3 years and I was flat broke.

I wish you the best of luck.

How do you make a small fortune in racing?

Start with a large one.....



The pond, or the pool. The pond might be good for you.

Mike,
You too?
