Brian Hoar Scores Career Win Number 24 at Beech Ridge 150
Scarborough, ME Five-time American Canadian Tour Champion Brian Hoar of Williston, VT notched career win number 24 in the Beech Ridge 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. Hoar started in the ninth position and moved into the lead on lap 37 by passing local favorite Aarron Ricker. Hoar then appeared to have the race in hand as he was chased through lap traffic by Randy Potter during an 80 lap green flag run.
After a
couple of late cautions Eric Williams moved up into second place and challenged Hoar for
the win right down to the end. Williams would come home second followed by Cris Michaud
while Potter held on for fourth and Maine native Ricky Rolfe finished fifth. Coming home
sixth was Jay Laquerre followed by Brent Dragon, John Donahue, Scott Payea, and Nick Brown
rounding out the top ten. Hoar becomes the 13th driver
to qualify for the ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September
19th. He joins Brad Leighton, Williams, Scott Payea, Joey Polewarczyk Jr.,
Patrick Laperle, Dave Pembroke, Jean-François Déry, Donald Theetge, Sean Kennedy, Brent
Dragon, John Donahue and Oxford 250 winner Eddie MacDonald. The Beech Ridge 150 took just over one
hour and fifteen minutes to complete and was slowed by only seven cautions. One caution
was for a malfunction with the track lighting, which left the front stretch completely
dark on lap 28. Everyone made it through the black out safely. This Friday, July 31st the
American Canadian Tour will be back in action at Twin State Speedway in Claremont, NH.
Twin State is one of the five ACT sanctioned events during a four day period this week. It
all begins this Thursday, July 30th when special guest Richard Petty visits
