ACT Results from opener at Lee USA Speedway

Lee, NH - Seven-time American Canadian Tour Champion Brian Hoar of
Williston, VT used patience to win the season opening NH Governor's Cup 150
at Lee USA Speedway in Lee, NH, his 29th career ACT win. Hoar began the
race in the 18th starting position after winning his heat race but earning
a 0 in
the ACT Plus/Minus handicap system. The veteran moved through the field and
ran just outside the top five while saving his tires and his car for a late
race run to the front and the win.

Colchester, VT's Scott Dragon started on the pole and led all but 1 of the
first 116 laps while battling with Groveton, NH's Randy Potter and
St-Felicien, QC's Karl Allard early in the race. Multi-time Lee USA Speedway
Champion Wayne Helliwell, Jr. was also in the mix running as high as second.

Hoar and Graniteville's John Donahue seemingly came from nowhere after the
final caution on lap 115 to make a run to the front. Hoar took the win while
Donahue inherited the runner-up position after apparent second place
finisher Brad Babb, a sophomore driver from Windham, ME, was penalized to
the last car on the lead lap (9th) for using an unregistered tire.

Fulton Mountain of Barrington, NH would claim third, Helliwell held on for
fourth and Scott Dragon faded to fifth late. Potter, sophomore driver Austin
Theriault, Allard, Babb, and Mark Lamberton completed the top ten.

Milton, VT's Brent Dragon managed an eleventh place finish after being
involved in an accident with Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, NH and Craig
Bushey of Fairfax, VT on lap 46. Polewarczyk and Bushey would retire from
the event and settle for 26th and 24th respectively.

The event was completed in one hour and sixteen minutes with seven cautions.
Nine cars finished on the lead lap. Hoar becomes the first qualifier for the
third annual ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon,
NH on Saturday, September 24.

The American Canadian Tour continues its 2011 season on Sunday, May 1 with
the 13th annual Merchants Bank 150 at Barre, VT's Thunder Road
International
Speedbowl.
