He might drive a Mini Stock, but there’s nothing little about how Jacob Perry gets things done off the track in support of his racing career.
The Pawcatuck teenager has become a master of promotion of short track racing and an example of what all short track drivers should look to for ways to support and grow the sport in today’s electronic age.
So it comes as no surprise that when the Perry fanbase is called upon for support of their driver, they get the job done.
That was the case again this week for Perry, who ran away from the field in dominating the voting for the New England Racing Fuel Support Performer of the Week Award.
Perry, who got his first win of the season in Saturday’s Mini Stock feature at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl, garnered 146 of 247 votes cast this week (59.1 percent).
Monte Gibbs, winner of the Limited Sportsman feature at the Speedbowl Saturday, was a distant second in the polling with 43 votes (17.4 percent).
Perry will receive a $20 certificate for race fuel from New England Racing Fuel.
The final voting results for this week are listed below.

Of course he won the race he started on the front row
Bella,That is a ridiculous comment.Pole sitters are run over and passed far more likely than they are guaranteed a win.Jacob is a talented,considerate driver with excellent reflexes and equipment;that is how he won.
He didn’t start on the front row, were you even there?
