Jimmy Hebert Tames Speedway 51 to Snap Winless Streak

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

Groveton, NH – Williamstown, VT’s Jimmy Hebert turned the most dominating performance of the 2018 American-Canadian Tour (ACT) season to win the J.P. Sicard/Kingdom Gravel 151 on Sunday, July 15 at Groveton, NH’s Speedway 51. Hebert took the lead for the first time on a lap-4 restart and held off every challenge presented by Graniteville, VT’s Chip Grenier to snap an ACT winless drought that dated back to August 2013.

Grenier finished second in a career-best ACT effort while point leader Scott Payea of Colchester, VT got underneath Lebanon, NH’s Rich Dubeau with two laps remaining for third. Rowley, MA’s Eddie MacDonald rounded out the top-5.

The ACT Late Model Tour makes its next stop at N. Woodstock, NH’s White Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday, August 4 for the Autosaver Group 150. Post time is 6:00pm.
