Rookie racer Michael T. Ward of Haines walked away with $4,000 in prize money after finishing third overall at last weekend’s Alcan 200 snow machine road race.
Greg Peede of North Pole won the 155-mile road race.
Ward said he approached fellow Haines snowmachiner Jack Smith Jr. after hearing Smith was looking for a rookie to race his 600 Yamaha SRX in the 44th annual Alcan 200, the longest snowmachine road race in North America.
