Speed51.com asked a number of short trackers to choose their list of the top-10 drivers they would select to drive for their team if they were a top-level car owner in the sport. Austin was thrilled to see that Bubba Pollard had mentioned him as one of his driver picks. To be mentioned by Bubba is more than an honor and we thank him for the mention. Bubba was chosen as the #1 draft for the 2012 Short Track Draft by Speed51 and if you know anything about Bubba, you'll know why.
VT Speed last week named a list of drivers capable of threatening Williston’s Brian Hoar for the American-Canadian Tour championship. The first two drivers on that list were Wayne Helliwell Jr., and Austin Theriault, and they proved that they earned that recognition last Sunday at Lee USA Speedway by finishing hot on Hoar’s heels in the season-opening New Hampshire Governor’s Cup 150.
