Hometown Hero Prevails
in PASS Hudson Debut

Ian Pettigrew, Speed51 Contributor
The "home-track advantage" has been talked about extensively over the last week or so - we can all thank Doug Coby's victory at Stafford Motor Speedway in the Camping World SRX Series for that. But the advantage is real; just ask Hudson, New Hampshire's Joey Polewarczyk, who led 89 of 150 laps on Sunday to win the Pro All Stars Series' first-ever trip to Hudson Speedway.

After a disappointing result in the American-Canadian Tour portion of the evening, Polewarczyk started the PASS feature outside the top 10, courtesy of his victory at White Mountain Motorsports Park on May 23rd. He steadily worked his way to the front of the field, saving tires and avoiding several big wrecks. He took the lead from Anthony Constantino on Lap 61 and never let it go, cruising to his second PASS North win of the season.

"It's pretty awesome," Polewarczyk told Speed51 after the race. "This is a big deal for me and for the town of Hudson to have such high-quality series come here. It's awesome to be able to come here and win in front of the home crowd. This car was really good, really hooked up, it got over the bumps really good. I'm whooped, but it's a good feeling. We really wanted this one, being so close to my house. I live less than a mile down the street, so it's awesome to see an awesome crowd here tonight. It's unfortunate, we had a pretty good ACT car, just got two flat tires and it was overheating, it just wasn't our day with that car. But this car was awesome all day."

Jake Johnson, the 2020 Snowflake 100 winner and a former Legends champion at Seekonk Speedway in Seekonk, Mass., hounded Polewarczyk for the entire second half of the race, but in the end just could not keep up with the hometown boy.

"We had a really good race today, good practice," Johnson said. "I was giving it everything I got, that's for sure. Every part of the race I was trying my best, at the end I think I even hit the wall once or twice just trying to keep up with him. Joey ran a great race, I'm sure Derek [Griffith] did too, we didn't get to battle much.

"Overall, it was a great event. Got to thank PASS, ACT, everyone at Hudson for putting on this show, I'm glad we get to tour around and go to these places."

The third step of the podium was occupied by another Hudson local, Derek Griffith. Griffith's evening was much more eventful than Polewarczyk's, and he was satisfied with a third place finish.

"[Joey] was hooked up, he was good all day," Griffith said. "We kind of got dragged to the back a couple times, and trying to come up through just got up in a couple people's messes. P3, I'll take it. We had a couple long green-flag runs there towards the end, I was really hoping for a yellow because we usually fire off pretty good.

"Got to thank everyone for coming out, Hudson Speedway, love this place, this is the best place in racing. I love it here so much, and it means the world to me."

Jake Matheson, from nearby Hillsboro, NH, came home fourth, and Gabe Brown made the haul down from Center Conway, NH to finish fifth.

The series rolls on to Oxford Plains Speedway for the third of six total visits in the 2021 campaign. Fans will be able to watch the PASS Super Late Models and the PASS Modifieds live on Sunday, July 11 on Speed51.TV.

ACT & PASS Invade Hudson This Sunday
Waterbury, VT -- The American-Canadian Tour (ACT) and Pro All Stars Series (PASS) are days away from a trip to New Hampshire's Hudson Speedway. The Sunday, June 20 tripleheader is a long-overdue journey to the Southern New Hampshire bullring for both series as their championship battles heat up.

The ACT Hudson 150, which is on the first official day of the 2021 summer, is only the second ACT event at Hudson Speedway ever -- and the first in 20 years. The PASS Super Late Models are making their inaugural trip to Hudson as the track celebrates its 75th anniversary.

That means the vast majority of Sunday's field, from 10-time PASS champion Ben Rowe to new ACT winner Tom Carey III, is hitting the high banks for the first time. They'll have to get up to speed fast as their seasons get serious. Add in a PASS MODS feature with a large field expected and you have the recipe for a perfect Sunday evening of motorsports.

For two drivers, though, Sunday is a homecoming. ARCA Menards Series racer Derek Griffin and former ACT champion Joey Polewarczyk are both natives of Hudson, NH who still live in the area. Griffin got his start racing 4-cylinder cars at Hudson before graduating to the Super Late Model and national touring ranks. "Joey Pole" won a Granite State Pro Stock Series at the track in 2019 and finished third in 2020.

Their familiarity with the track mean both Griffith and Polewarczyk have an early edge heading into Sunday's event. But with plenty of talented racers joining them, nothing is guaranteed.

On the ACT side, Rowe and Carey lead the way. They sit 1-2 in the point standings just four digits apart. Turner, ME's Rowe has been a model of consistency as the only driver to finish in the top-10 of all four features. New Salem, MA's Carey has sandwiched his recent White Mountain win around a runner-up finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and now aims to become more consistent. With Sunday's event being the fifth of 12 point-counting events on the schedule, the halfway bell is already near in the title fight.

Center Conway, NH's D.J. Shaw and Graniteville, VT's Stephen Donahue are close behind the front duo. The next pack includes sophomore Derek Gluchacki of Dartmouth, MA and rookies Shawn Swallow and Erick Sands. Defending champion Jimmy Hebert has said he'll be at Hudson and will go trophy-hunting after a miserable three-race stretch. Part-time standouts such as Ryan Kuhn and Trent Goodrow are expected to join the regulars is a showdown that could go any which way.

In the PASS Super Late Models, six-time champion Johnny Clark of Hallowell, ME is chasing title number seven. The reigning Oxford 250 winner has a 52-point lead over Rowe with Sunday marking the one-third point of the PASS season. Right behind Rowe is Harrison, ME's Kate Re, the 17-year-old Super Late Model sophomore who has been the season's breakout star. Re posted two podium finishes at Hudson Speedway in 2019 with the PASS Modifieds, which surely has her young team feeling upbeat about their Super Late Model chances.

Dan Winter and PASS newcomer Rowland Robinson Jr. round out the top-five. They'll be joined by D.J. Shaw, Jeremy Davis, Scott McDaniel and others who are ready to figure out the cramped Hudson arena.

Even with all of that to watch, the PASS MODS could very well steal the show. The resurgent division has been drawing 20-plus cars at every event. Those teams are putting on some amazing racing with three-wide passes for the lead and other breathtaking moves.

Naples, ME's Spencer Morse, the 2019 PASS MODS Champion, leads the standings going into Hudson Speedway. He's being shadowed by A.J. Cates, Garrett Lamb, Troy Morse, and other eager for a title. Gray, ME's Tyler King, the 2020 champion, is trying to rebound from a rare did-not-finish last time out due to overheating issues.

The ACT Late Model Tour and PASS Super Late Models heads to New Hampshire's Hudson Speedway on Sunday, June 20 at 5:30pm. Both series will go at it for 150 green-flag laps with the PASS MODS rounding out the card. Admission is $30 for adults and $10 for kids ages 12 and under.
