LE GP3R ACCUEILLERA LE NOUVEAU CHAMPIONNAT DU MONDE FIA DE RALLYCROSS EN 2014

 

Trois-Rivières, vendredi, 29 novembre 2013 | IMG Motorsports, une division de l'entreprise de sports, de mode et de medias IMG Worldwide, a dévoilé que le Grand Prix de Trois-Rivières au Québec est la première manche hors-Europe confirmée pour le nouveau Championnat du monde FIA de rallycross qui débutera en 2014.

Il s'agit là du cadeau d'anniversaire le plus excitant que nous pouvions offrir à nos fidèles fervents, a dit Dominic Fugère, directeur général du GP3R. De plus, comme l'amateur de rallycross n'est âgé que de 27 ans, nous croyons que la venue du sport mécanique avec la plus rapide croissance dans le monde aura l'effet d'une fontaine de jouvence pour notre événement. »

 

Le calendrier complet du championnat, qui est basé sur une saison de 12 manches et qui est le seul championnat de rallycross officiellement sanctionné et endossé par la Fédération internationale de l'automobile, sera confirmé au début du mois prochain.

 

Martin Anayi, directeur de la gestion de RallycrossRX pour le compte d'IMG Motorsports, a dit: «Nous sommes très heureux d'être en mesure d'annoncer l'identité d'une première manche du nouveau Championnat du monde FIA de rallycross à se tenir hors de l'Europe. Nous sommes confiants que le succès obtenu l'an dernier par le Championnat européen de rallycross FIA se déplacera avec aise sur la scène mondiale ce qui en améliorera la visibilité et la portée aupr`s des amateurs. La vitesse avec laquelle ces développements se mettent en place façonnent le présent en une période vraiment excitante pour le RallycrossRX.»

 

IMG Motorsports a été nommé comme promoteur du Championnat européen de rallycross FIA l'an dernier ce qui a permis d'attirer rapidement l'appui des meilleurs pilotes, équipes et événements du sport. Il travaillera encore de concert avec IMG Media pour optimiser les couvertures télévisuelles et numériques de partout dans le monde avec plus de 55 diffuseurs dans plus de 40 pays qui rejoignent plus de 550 millions de foyers en 2013 seulement.

LA SÉRIE ACT-QUÉBEC DE RETOUR EN 2014

Pour diffusion immédiate

LA SÉRIE ACT-QUÉBEC DE RETOUR EN 2014

Amateurs et compétiteurs seront heureux d'apprendre que la série ACT-Québec sera de retour dans la Belle Province en 2014 pour une neuvième année consécutive. Au total neuf compétitions ont été inscrites au calendrier.

C'est donc dire qu'il y aura deux épreuves de moins que la saison dernière, soit une à l'Autodrome Montmagny, mais la plus importante est celle des frères Guillaume et Jean Bergeron de rayer de leur calendrier la course qu'ils présentaient sur le triovale de Sanair. Au cours des deux dernières présentations, ils ont cumulé des pertes assez importantes en raison de dame nature et d'une assistance inférieure aux prévisions.

À part de ces neuf confrontations, les équipes de la série ACT-Québec seront invitées à prendre part à des courses majeures au pays de l'Oncle Sam, soit la deuxième édition de l'International à la piste Airborne de Plattsburgh, le Bond Auto Invitational dans le cadre du Sylvania 300 à la piste New-Hampshire Motor Speedway ainsi que le fameux Milk Bowl à la piste Thunder Road de Barre au Vermont. À elles seules, ces trois événements comportent plus de 250,000$ en bourses et bonis.

Au Québec, la saison débutera à l'Autodrome  St-Eustache, le 24 mai prochain et se terminera au même endroit, le 14 septembre.

Meltdown This Weekend; PASS Releases Tentative Schedules For South Super Late Models and Pro Late Models

Meltdown This Weekend; PASS Releases Tentative Schedules For South Super Late Models and Pro Late Models

 

-       Marquee events to include 9th Annual Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway, 9th Annual Mason Dixon Meltdown at Southern National Motorsports Park and 12th Annual North-South Shootout at Caraway Speedway

 

-       Season kicks off with return to New Smyrna Speedway in February for Winter Meltdown

 

-       Series will return to Greenville-Pickens Speedway for the first time since 2010 for two events

 

-       For Immediate Release

 

CHARLOTTE, NC (November 21) – Excitement continues to build as one of the most anticipated short track events of the fall, the 8th Annual Mason Dixon Meltdown, gets set to run this weekend at Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, NC.  The Meltdown will feature a 200 lap event for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Models that will determine both the PASS National and PASS South champions.  

PASS National points leader Jay Fogleman leads southern frontrunners Kyle Grissom, Spencer Davis, Jody Measamer, Trevor Noles, John Batten, Tyler Church and others against a formidable group of challengers from New England led by Ben Rowe, Joey Doiron, Joey Polewarczyk, Kyle Desouza, Derek Ramstrom, and Steve Legendre.

An event creating nearly as much buzz as the PASS Super Late Model race will be a 30 lapper for the Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Cars.  It will be the first time winged sprints cars with 410 cubic inch engines have raced on asphalt in North Carolina since 1989.  The Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Cars will make an all-out assault on the overall track record at Southern National Motorsports Park and will feature such open wheel stars as Jimmy McCune, Brian Gerster, Davey Hamilton, Jr., Troy Decaire, Kody Swanson and Brian Tyler.

Additionally, PASS officials announced today the release of the 2014 tentative schedules for the PASS South Super Late Models and PASS Pro Late Models.  The PASS South Super Late Model schedule will be highlighted by the return of the series to two of the South’s most prolific half-mile speedways.  The season will begin February 7-8 and will begin both the PASS South and PASS National seasons by kicking off Florida Speedweeks with the Winter Meltdown at New Smyrna Speedway.  Greenville-Pickens Speedway returns for two events in 2014.  The historic South Carolina track first began hosting stock car events in 1946 and was once a hotbed for Super Late Model racing.  In addition to the season opener, Greenville-Pickens Speedway will once again host the Firecracker 150 on July 3.  That event returns to Greenville-Pickens where it was held from 2008-2010.

PASS South and the PASS National series will once again contest the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway on April 19 and will conclude the season on November 22 with Mason Dixon Meltdown at Southern National Motorsports Park.  Since their inceptions in 2006, both the Easter Bunny 150 and the Mason Dixon Meltdown have grown in stature to become two of the premier events in short track racing.  Additionally, two Virginia tracks will join the PASS South Super Late Model family of tracks with both Franklin County Speedway and Lonesome Pine Raceway hosting the series for the first time in 2014.

            “We are very pleased to be able to release our 2014 PASS South Super Late Model schedule at such an early date,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry.  “We’ve had great support from our competitors this year and we hope by releasing our schedule in November that will give them plenty of time to prepare for next year.  We’ve got some great tracks returning to the schedule and we look forward to making lasting relationships at our new venues as well.”

Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, NC will host three PASS South Super Late Models in 2014 on May 31, July 12, and the Mason Dixon Meltdown on November 22.  Hickory Motor Speedway will also host multiple events with the Easter Bunny 150 on April 19 and the Over The Mountain 150 on September 20.

Dillon Motor Speedway will host the 9th Annual South Carolina Clash on March 8.  Orange County Speedway, a favorite of many PASS South Super Late Model competitors, returns for a ninth straight year with the Orange Blossom Special on April 5.  Caraway Speedway will also be back as the PASS South Super Late Models will compete as part of the popular 12th Annual North-South Shootout on date in November still yet to be determined.

South Boston Speedway will host two PASS South events in 2014 on June 7 and August 16.  Fellow Virginia racetracks Franklin County Speedway and Lonesome Pine Raceway will host PASS events for the first time ever in 2014.  Franklin County Speedway has seen a revival this year under veteran racing promoter Langley Austin and will welcome the PASS South Super Late Models to the facility on June 21.  Likewise, the picturesque Lonesome Pine Raceway in Southwest Virginia will see the return of Super Late Models for the first time in more than a decade on August 2.

The PASS Pro Late Models will compete in at least 11 companion events with the PASS South Super Late Models in 2014 with up to two additional dates being added.

Although the 2014 schedule is nearly complete, additional dates could be added in May and on October 18 by December 4.

Look for schedules for the PASS North Super Late Models, PASS Modifieds, and PASS Sportsman to be released in the near future.

The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America’s premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as PASS South’s Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, the Autobus La Qubecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudiere, and the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.  For technical information concerning all PASS divisions please send questions to passracing@roadrunner.com.  For media or marketing questions, please contact Alan Dietz at 704-231-2039 or alandietzpass@live.com.  Please visit ProAllStarsSeries.com for more information.  And, don’t forget to “Like” the Pro All Stars Series on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to keep up with breaking news as it happens.

Maryeve Dufault to Drive 2014 ARCA Season for Team Stange

 

Maryeve Dufault to Drive 2014 ARCA Season for Team Stange

 

Forest Park, IL. (November 20, 2013) - - Today, Team Stange announced the signing of Canadian native Maryeve Dufault as their driver for the 2014 ARCA Racing Series season.  Dufault is scheduled to pilot the No. 46 HotTVBrands.com Ford Fusion in all of the scheduled ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards events at tracks nationwide. 

 

“This is a great opportunity for me and a great team that has been formed for 2014 ARCA season,” explained Dufault.  “I am very appreciative of the people that John (Stange) is bringing together for the No. 46 HotTVbrands.com car.  There are some amazing guys that are running this program who bring a lot of knowledge and success to the table.  I’m looking forward to a great season with Team Stange.”

 

Team Stange, which was formed in 2004 by John Stange and his wife Ashely, is preparing for its’ first season in ARCA racing.  Stange purchased the nine-time ARCA championship winning team and equipment of Larry Clement Racing at the end of the 2013 season and started making plans to field his team for 2014.  “2014 is going to be a great year for Team Stange Racing,” said John.  “I have been involved in racing in one way or another my entire life and it is so exciting when you have those times when things come together like they have for Team Stange.  We’re building a strong team and will give Maryeve competitive equipment and hopefully that combination will put the No. 46 at the front of the field.”

 

Dufault brings a strong racing background to the team having competed in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, ARCA events, NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, F3 and Star Mazda among other race series.    In 2010 Dufault moved her career from open wheel to stock car with events in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.  In early testing of an ARCA car at New Smyrna Speedway, Dufault impressed the Brad Keselowski among others and her stock career began to take hold.  She raced in ARCA events in 2011 and 2012 and also made her NASCAR Nationwide debut in 2011.  Her top ARCA finish to date was 10th at Chicagoland Speedway in 2011.

 

In the integral role of crew chief/consultant for the No. 46, Team Stange has tapped veteran Larry Moore of Palatka, Florida.  Moore is one of the most successful short-track drivers in history with more than 500 race wins and experience at 356 different tracks.  When he hung up his helmet as a racer, he began building a successful reputation as a crew chief/consultant for various ARCA, NASCAR Nationwide Series, CRA and dirt late model teams.  Moore has more than 35 victories as a crew chief and is looking forward to adding to that number in 2014 with Maryeve and Team Stange.

 

Team Stange Racing:  Team Stange was formed in 2004 by John and Ashley Stange of Oak Park, Ill. Their ARCA stock car program began in 2013 when they purchased the nine-time ARCA championship winning

team of Larry Clement Racing. They plan to field a Ford Fusion in all the events in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards in 2014 with driver Maryeve Dufault.  Team Stange is especially adept at creating business-to-business programs for corporate partnerships and brand development. It has also been very involved in driver development, primarily through a Pro Mazda effort.  For more go to www.stangeracing.com.

Northerners Hope To Take Home Mason Dixon Meltdown Hardware Once Again

Northerners Hope To Take Home Mason Dixon Meltdown Hardware Once Again

- For Immediate Release

CHARLOTTE, NC (November 18) – As this weekend’s 8th Annual Mason Dixon Meltdown approaches for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models, several teams are already ready to make their way south to North Carolina’s Southern National Motorsports Park. Since the event’s inception in 2006, some of the best PASS North Super Late Model teams from New England have made the trip south to escape the increasingly cold weather in the north and get one more big race in before the season ends. And the northern contingent has fared quite well traditionally, especially in the early years of the Meltdown. In the first four editions, PASS North drivers took the checkered flag led by Ben Rowe, who won at Concord Speedway in 2007 and South Boston Speedway in 2009, while fellow New Englanders Cassius Clark and Johnny Clark took the checkered flag in the other two.
While the south has prevailed in the last three runnings of the Mason Dixon Meltdown, many believe this year’s race at Southern National could see the big money heading back north on I-95. Rowe leads a strong group of fellow New Englanders to this year’s Meltdown which includes Joey Doiron, Kyle Desouza, Derek Ramstrom, Joey Polewarczyk, and Steve Legendre. The All-Time PASS Super Late Model wins leader is quite familiar racing in the south with 8 PASS South wins to his credit and the 2009 PASS South Super Late Model championship. Rowe recently ended a long dry spell with his win in the North-South Shootout at Caraway Speedway and is looking forward to heading back to Southern National Motorsports Park where he took one of his five wins during his championship season.
“I love Kenly, it’s a great racetrack, great for us racers and great for the fans,” said Rowe. “The fans are great to me down here in the south. It make the 16-18 hour trip worthwhile. I learned a lot following Preston Peltier at Kenly in 2009. We followed him for about 50 laps and then came in and flip flopped the right front and right rear tires and passed him with about 10 to go to win the race. Can’t wait to get to Kenly again, it’s fast.”
One northern racer has already taken a trophy from the south back home to New England this year. Maine’s Joey Doiron served notice way back in February that he would not only be a threat for the PASS North title, but that he would also be formidable in the PASS National Championship fight following his win in the Winter Meltdown at Auburndale Speedway. Doiron’s win in Florida propelled him into the 2013 season and saw him go on to win two PASS North Super Late Model races and lead the points much of the season, before falling just four points shy of winning the championship. While this will be Doiron’s first trip to Southern National Motorsports Park, he feels his team has a good chance for the win and possibly overtaking Jay Fogleman for the PASS National Championship. 
“We haven’t really had any great finishes in the south at the high banked, high grip racetracks, but I feel like we’ve made gains and will be in a good position this weekend,” said Doiron, who sits third in points just 40 points behind Fogleman in the race for the PASS National Championship. “However, it will be tough for us since this is the fourth time the PASS South teams have raced at Kenly this season. I still feel the north has the advantage though and hopefully we’ll be able to bring the trophy back north with us like we did in February.”
In addition to seeing the best in stock car racing, fans will have an added attraction that has a definitely created a buzz in racing circles. The Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Cars will tackle Southern National for the first time as part of the Meltdown. It will be the first time 410 Winged Sprint Cars have raced in North Carolina on asphalt in nearly 25 years and many believe the 900 horsepower machines will have a great opportunity to break Southern National’s overall track record.
Entry forms and the complete weekend schedule for the 8th Annual Mason Dixon Meltdown at Southern National Motorsports Park can be found at ProAllStarsSeries.com.
Action gets under way on Friday, November 22nd at Southern National with practice for all divisions from 2-5 PM. On Saturday, November 23rd, pit gates will open at 9 AM, with practice from 10:45 AM – 1 PM. Qualifying will begin at 1:30 PM and racing will start at 3 PM, featuring 200 laps for the PASS South Super Late Models, 75 laps for the PASS Pro Late Models, 20 laps for the Mini Cups, and 30 fast and furious laps under the lights for the Must See Racing Xtreme Winged Sprint Cars. 
The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America’s premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as the PASS Northwest Triple Crown at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval, PASS South’s Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway, the Autobus La Quebecoise Triple Crown at Autodrome Chaudière, and the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.

For Immediate Release                                                                                                                                                                     DBS-111313-1

 

RUTLAND, VT – Devil’s Bowl Speedway will toast top local stock car drivers from the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at its annual Banquet of Champions on Saturday, February 1, 2014.  Among the competitors to be honored on stage are Rookie of the Year winners from each of the track’s four weekly racing classes.  The Banquet of Champions will be at the Holiday Inn Rutland/Killington in Rutland, VT.

Twenty year-old Jamie LaFountain of Keeseville, NY will collect Rookie of the Year honors for his efforts in the headline Bond Auto Parts Modified division.  LaFountain built a consistent record in his first year of racing at Devil’s Bowl, finishing in the Top 10 in nine of his 17 feature starts and taking 12th in the overall championship standings.  He outdistanced Bruce Schwab and Emily Quinn for the freshman crown.

Bristol, VT driver Josh Masterson posted three Late Model victories on his way to the division’s Rookie of the Year crown.  Feature winner Brandon Atkins finished a close second followed by Johnny Scarborough, Seth Bridge, Carol Parker, and Tommy Eriksen, Jr.

Four first-year racers were bunched tightly together in the intermediate Renegade class, with 20 year-old Brad Bushey of Fairfax, VT taking the Rookie of the Year title.  Bushey won twice to beat teenagers Stephen Donahue, Ray Germain, Jr., and Richard Lowrey, III.  Two-time winner Chuck Bradford of Addison, VT ran to the Rookie of the Year crown in the Central Vermont Motorcycles Mini Stock class.  Lacey Hanson, Lance Masterson, Kyle Sorensen, Jason Sabourin, and Scott FitzGerald were next in line.

Separately, Middlebury, VT’s Todd Stone will be honored as the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series National Rookie of the Year presented by Jostens at a ceremony in Charlotte, NC on Friday, December 13.  Though he was not eligible for the weekly Devil’s Bowl rookie program, Stone’s 10-win Modified championship season and his status as a first-year NASCAR license holder allowed him to claim the national honor, beating drivers from more than 50 sanctioned tracks.
