Dragon and Polewarzcyk first to file 2009 Full Season ACT Entries


Waterbury, VT - Milton, Vermont's veteran race driver, Brent Dragon and
Hudson, New Hampshire's young star Joey Polewarzcyk ('Pole') were the first
to file full season entries to race for the American Canadian Tour (ACT)
Championship during the 2009 thirteen race campaign. Dragon has finished
either 2nd or 3rd during half the dozen years he has raced on the TOUR. Joey
"Pole" has finished in the top 10 in points since joining the TOUR full time
in 2005, at the age of sixteen.

Dragon, a multi-time Airborne Speedway Champion considers the addition of a
300-lap race at Airborne this September a favorable windfall for his 2009
effort to capture the ACT Championship. Dragon said, "I think it is about
time we finally get a championship on the American Canadian TOUR. Having a
second race at my favorite track (Airborne) hopefully will work in our
favor. Dragon went on the say, "We were so proud to win the prestigious
MacTavish Award at this year's banquet, I can't think of a better way to
back it up than by winning the ACT title in 2009." Dragon knows that it won't
be easy. The competition at ACT seems to get deeper and deeper each season.
Maine veterans Glen Luce and former Oxford champion Ricky Rolf, along with
5-time ACT champion Brian Hoar from So. Burlington, VT, as well as the
veteran team of Randy Potter from New Hampshire have all thrown their hats
in the ring as title contenders to spoil Dragon's bid.

Young sensation, Joey Pole will certainly have something to say about who
wins the title in 2009. Pole was a two-time winner on the TOUR in 2008, sat
on the pole for the 45th running of the Chittenden Milk Bowl at Thunder
Road, and is focused on winning the 2009 ACT Championship. Pole said,
"There are so many good veteran teams and such a variety of different tracks
that we will be going to in 2009, it will be tougher than ever, but our team
is very focused as we get ready to take on the challenge. I think the past
few years have taught me a lot about how to compete for the title. I guess
it is time to see if I can take advantage of all the things I've learned. I
sure am excited about the coming season and can't wait to get started."

The 2009 ACT TOUR will open at Lee USA Speedway, Lee, New Hampshire on
Sunday, April 19. The 150-lap event will also be the first qualifier for the
ACT Invitational to be held on September 19th at the New Hampshire Motor
Speedway during the NASCAR Chase weekend. The Lee event will award a $500
bonus and starting spot in the highly anticipated ACT Invitational.
