Joey Pole Racing puts finishing touches on Tony Stewart's ride for Thunder
Road


(Hudson, NH)- The action at Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre, VT will be at
a fever pitch on Thursday June 25th.
Why you ask? Well; could the announcement of a 2-Time NASCAR Sprint Cup
Champion racing at the ¼ mile oval
have anything to do with it?  You bet!

It was announced some time ago that Tony "Smoke" Stewart was going to be
racing at Thunder Road in the 2009
Carquest Governor's Cup 150.  So, the question loomed will "Smoke" build
his own car, much like fellow Sprint Cup
Driver Kevin Harvick did for the T.D. Banknorth 250 or will he "borrow" a
car?

That question was answered quickly when it was announced that Tony will be
piloting the Thunder Road Track
Record holding car of Young ACT Standout #97 Joey "Pole" Polewarczyk Jr.
The car is named "Betsy" and she has
received a new body and many other new parts in preparation for the
upcoming race.

"What more could you ask for"  "She is proven to be the fastest car on
that track" stated Joey; when asked about
what he thought Tony will think about the now re-numbered #14 Chevrolet
Impala SS.

Joey Pole has set the fastest lap time ever for a Late Model at Thunder
Road with a blistering 12.935 second lap in
2006, with this car.  Joey also has won the Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Milk
Bowl Pole Award 3 consecutive years in this
car.  "Tony will be driving Thunder Road with the best available equipment
possible" added Joe Polewarczyk Sr.

Joey will be racing along side Tony with his 2009 Primary car in the
familiar #97 colors and hopes to show "Smoke"
the way around the infamous ¼ mile high banked oval.  The action starts on
Thursday June 25th at Thunder Road
Speedbowl with a 6:00pm post time.  Please be sure and check out

and additional news concerning the 2009 ACT Season.
