Pembroke Hits Big Pay Day

Two-time Thunder Road Champion Dave Pembroke earned his second Milk Bowl victory this past weekend in the 50^th Annual People’s United Bank Milk Bowl, picking up a check worth over $14,000.  The victory was well worth the wait for the family-run team.

“I’m psyched,” Pembroke told the media after the race. “No one else can win it.  It will be 50 years before they have another anniversary one.  It’s pretty cool to me.”

Pembroke Thrills, Wins 50^th Milk Bowl

Therrien, Pilotte Claim 2012 Championships

Two-time Thunder Road Champion Dave Pembroke persisted through a wild 50^th Milk Bowl to kiss the cow on a payday worth over $10,000 for the second time in his career.  Eight-time ACT Champion Brian Hoar came up just short through a day of major adversity to finish second, and Maine’s Glen Luce earned third overall.  2012 ACT Champion Wayne Helliwell, Jr. battled to fourth, and 7-time ACT Champion Jean Paul Cyr rounded out the top five.

50^th Milk Bowl Ready for Sunday

After two attempts at the 50^th Annual People’s United Bank Milk Bowl, racers and fans have received word of a good forecast for this Sunday, October 28^th to run the $160,000 event.  With championship titles across the region completed, American Canadian Tour Late Models will take the gloves off one last time in 2012.

Two-time Thunder Road Champion Dave Pembroke will take another shot at starting from the pole, with 8-time ACT Champion Brian Hoar as his dancing partner in second.  2012 King of the Road Nick Sweet will take his shot at the 50th Milk Bowl from the third starting position, followed by Fort Kent, ME’s Austin Theriault and multi-time Thunder Road Champion Cris Michaud.  The odds favor the top five to have the best shot at long-time Promoter Tom Curley’s Challenge: $50,000 to anyone who can win all three segments.  When the first 50-lap segment ends, only one driver will have a shot at the feat, with two 75-lap features left to get the job done.
