Tour PR Race Report - Vermont stock car racer
Scott Payea of Milton grabbed his second
American-Canadian Tour (ACT) victory of the season and
of his career in the Kancamaugus 100 at New Hampshire’s
White Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday night.
Payea led on two occasions, including the final 18
circuits after passing Turner, ME’s Ben Rowe. With his
win, Payea becomes the first multiple winner in nine ACT
Late Model Tour events this year.
“It means a lot to
get a win at White Mountain,” said Payea in victory
lane. “This is where I started racing my Late Model
back in 2004, this is where I learned how to race these
cars. I passed Ben Rowe on the outside lane for the
lead, and that felt pretty good, he’s one of the best
there is. This is a big win for my team.”
Rowe, a multi-time
champion in various forms of New England short track
auto racing, passed Payea for the lead on lap 61, but
was outgunned by Payea one lap after the race’s third
restart, which came on lap 81.
Incidental contact cut Rowe’s right-front tire, and he
fell out of the race two laps after losing the lead.
Rowe was credited with the 27th finishing position. |
