Oxford, ME – American Canadian Tour star Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, NH, dominated the 39th Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway on Sunday, July 22. The ACT veteran wheeled his Ford-powered Pole’s Automotive machine to one of the biggest paydays in Oxford 250 history at $45,500, while leading over 200 laps. Polewarczyk maneuvered through heavy lapped traffic throughout the majority of the event and held off a late race charge from Jeff Taylor and fellow ACT competitor Austin Theriault in second and third respectively.

Polewarczyk jumped out to a commanding lead early from the outside pole and lapped nearly half of the 39-car field before the first caution of the event flew on lap 69. With multiple lap cars cushioning his lead over the rest of the lead lap cars, Polewarczyk quickly stretched out his lead again after returning to green and was a half a track ahead when the second caution of the event came out on lap 135.

The second place point man on the ACT Tour lead all but two of the field to pit road during the lap 135 caution period for fresh tires. He returned to the track in the 10th place position and spent the next 46 laps working his way back to the point. Polewarczyk reclaimed the lead from ACT point leader Wayne Helliwell, Jr. on the 181st circuit and cruised to the win.

Taylor and Theriault were followed to the checkers by Helliwell and Oxford Plains point leader Travis Stearns completing the top five. Dave Farrington, Jr., two-time Serie ACT Castrol Champion Patrick Laperle, T. J. Brackett, two-time Oxford 250 Champion Eddie MacDonald and Brent Dragon completed the top ten. Shawn Martin, Scott Luce, Jeff White, Ray Parent and Tim Brackett completed the 15 cars remaining on the lead lap.

The event was completed in just one hour and thirty-eight minutes with three cautions. Fifteen cars completed the 250 lap distance. Polewarczyk led a total of 205 laps, while Brian Hoar (2), Martin (1), and Helliwell (42) all pocketed $100 for each lap led.

Polewarczyk’s first Oxford 250 win also makes him the ninth qualifier to the Bond Auto ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 22nd, an event he won in 2010. He joins fellow ACT winners and Invitational qualifers, Brian Hoar, Wayne Helliwell, Jr., Ben Ashline, Nick Sweet, Karl Allard, Donald Theetge, Patrick Laperle and Jean-Francois Dery.
