LKQ Pintendre Autos 150 à l'Autodrome Chaudière

L’ÉQUIPE LAPERLE PÉNALISÉE

 

Pour diffusion immédiate

 

Faisant suite aux malencontreux incidents survenus à la ligne d’arrivée à l’issue du LKQ Pintendre 150 qui a été disputé, samedi après-midi à l’Autodrome Chaudière, l’équipe Laperle a été pénalisée pour les agissements de l’un de ses membres.

LAPERLE TEAM FINED FOR VICTORY LANE ALTERCATION

LAPERLE AND THEETGE BOTH PLACED ON PROBATION

 

For Immediate Release 

ACT – 061410-37

 

        Waterbury, VT – The American Canadian Tour (ACT) announced today that the Patrick Laperle team has received a fine for a post-race incident in victory lane following the 150-lap event held at the Autodrome Chaudiere in Vallee Jonction, QC this past Saturday, June 12.

 

Cette mesure disciplinaire est le résultat d’une bataille plus qu’agressive entre Donald Theetge de Québec, le champion en titre, et Patrick Laperle, tout au long de cette troisième manche de cette série ACT-Castrol Edge.

 

Finalement, en raison de cette lutte acharnée, le Félicinois Karl Allard a su tirer avantage de la situation pour remporter son premier succès dans cette série ACT-Castrol Edge. Ce dernier est passé à l’intérieur des deux belligérants qui se touchaient à qui mieux mieux.

 

Par la suite, une confrontation verbale est survenue lorsque Laperle est sorti de sa voiture et s’approchait de celle de Theetge. Là un incident est survenu entre un membre de l’équipe Laperle et Theetge alors que ce dernier se dirigeait vers le podium. Selon les procédures de mesures disciplinaires de l’ACT, le pilote est responsable de son équipe. Celle-ci devra verser une amende de 500 $.

 

En raison de l’inconduite de ces deux équipes dans le cercle des vainqueurs, celles-ci ont été mises sous probation pour le reste de la saison 2010. Elles ont été informées qu’un écart de conduite lors des prochaines épreuves serait sanctionné par une suspension accompagnée de d’autres pénalités.

 

Laperle demeure donc au premier rang de cette série ACT-Castrol Edge qui se poursuivra, samedi, au circuit Ste-Croix/Riverside Speedway. Un tracé ultra rapide de 5/8e de mille qui a subi des transformations majeures.

 

Voici le résultat officiel :

 

 

 

The disciplinary penalty resulted after Laperle, from Montreal, and Donald Theetge, from Quebec City, staged a furious battle for the win in the event which was postponed from the previous night due to an electrical black out. This necessitated running the race on Saturday at noon.

 

As a result of the constant battle between Theetge and Laperle during the final laps of the event, Karl Allard from Ste. Felicien, QC was able to take advantage of the intense battle. Allard made a three-wide pass underneath the pair as they banged and beat each other down the narrow front stretch at the ¼ mile bullring. Allard went on to win, with Theetge finishing in second. Laperle finished third.

 

After a verbal confrontation when Laperle exited his car and approached Theetge, an incident occurred between one of the Laperle crew members and Theetge, as Theetge was heading to the podium. Under the ACT disciplinary rules and procedures the driver is responsible for his crew. The Laperle team has been assessed a fine of $500.00.

 

Because of the behavior of both crews in victory lane, the Laperle and Theetge teams have both been placed on probation for the remainder of the 2010 season. They have been informed that any disciplinary issues during the remainder of the race season will result in immediate suspension and other penalties.

 

Laperle retains a strong point lead on the ACT Serie Castrol EDGE heading to the new Riverside Speedway at Ste. Croix, QC this Saturday night. The very fast and newly paved 5/8th mile facility has undergone a major renovation this Spring. Post time is 5:00pm.

Airborne June 12 results story

Airborne results Saturday, June 12, 2010

Tisseur hangs on for Airborne win

For immediate release

South Plattsburgh – Richard Tisseur of Chateauguay, Quebec kept Patrick Dupree at bay - after a caution with seven laps remaining erased his eight car-length lead - and he went on to record his first DIRTcar Modified win on Green Lee Tools/AFLAC Night Saturday at Airborne Speedway.

                After 16 green flag laps began the 30-lap feature, Tisseur took the lead from Vince Quenneville as Andy Heywood, Mike Reyell and Dupree ran 3-4-5. Dupree, seeking his third consecutive win, moved into third on lap 18 and sped around Quenneville for second on lap 20.

 

Tisseur’s winning margin was 15 feet. Heywood finished third well ahead of Quenneville in fourth with Reyell fifth. “I didn’t mind that Patrick was coming after me,” Tisseur said. “That’s the fun of racing.”

Positions 6-10 went to Todd Ormsby, Chad Blair, Leon Gonyo, Mike Wells and Bryant Trim. Craig Reyell had his best run of the season go for naught when he failed to come up to speed for the lap 17 restart while running fourth.

                Bucko Branham worked underneath Jamy Begor with seven laps left and raced off to his second straight J&S Steel Sportsman win.  Shawn Duquette caught Begor for second on the white flag lap. Jim Bushey finished fourth. Tylor Terry completed the top five.

                Lonnie Rivers of Cadyville won the Versatile Trailer Sales Renegade feature. Rivers passed runner-up Robert Gordon on lap 13 of the 25-lap event. Lance Rabtoy of Fairfax, VT placed third.

          Josh Durivage, Curtis LaGrave and Scott Richner finished 1-2-3 in the Monster Energy Bomber feature. Rick Doner of Ausable Forks carried the NAPA Mini-Modified checkers.

          The Versatile Trailer Sales Renegades will go 50 green flag laps in the main event this Saturday, June 19. Post time is 6 p.m.

There were no more caution flags so the rest of the 51 lap race was run under green and Dilley was able to work his way up the field and finish the Vortex Brake Pads 200 in ninth place.

 

After the race Dilley commented,  “The car was great at the beginning of the race, but we didn’t have any tires left and couldn’t gain any more track position towards the end.”

 

Overall Dilley was satisfied with his performance at Mosport International raceway, “We’ll take a top ten finish on a road course, it will keep us where we are in the points.”

 

Dilley is currently sixth in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Points after two events.  The next event for the No. 9 PartSource team will be at Autodome St. Eustache on Saturday July 3rd

 

The Vortex Brake Pads 200 will be broadcast on TSN on Sunday June 20th at noon.

NCTS Simone Motorsport PR - Simone's Day Ends Early at Mosport

Bowmanville, ON, Sunday June 13, 2010:  Anthony Simone, driver of the No. 95 Gaphix Factory/Castrol/Bell Chevrolet had problems early in practice but walked away with an eighth place  qualifying position, however, the day ended early for Simone when the No. 95 blew a drive train early in the race.

 

Simone had a tough start to the second event of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series when he blew a motor early in the first practice. The team worked really hard and were able to fix the car in time for qualifying where Simone posted a time that would start him in eighth place.

 

After qualifying Simone was optimistic, “The car is fast” said Simone who was only able to get in four laps during practice, “so we’re looking forward to the race and confident we will be able to get the No. 95 to the front.”

 

However, the Vortex Brake Pads 200 didn’t get much better for the No. 95 team as they had vibrations early and broke something in the drive train on the ninth lap, which took out a bunch of oil lines and ultimately put an early end to the day. Simone finished in 25th place.

 

Finish: 1) J.R Fitzpatrick, 2) Andrew Ranger, 3) Jason Bowles, 4) Scott Steckly 5) Kerry Micks

 

The Vortex Brake Pads 200 will be broadcast on TSN on Sunday June 20th at noon.
