CE VENDREDI À L'AUTODROME CHAUDIÈRE
AVANT DERNIÈRE DE LA SAISON
POUR LES VINTAGE QUÉBEC
L'Autodrome Chaudière de Vallée-Jonction, en Beauce, sera l'hôte de la 6e et l'avant-dernière course de la saison 2014 de l'ASCVQ qui se tiendra dans le cadre du «Langis-Caron 150». Cette course qui sera disputée par les pilotes de la Série Sportsman Lucas Oil a été nommée comme telle en l'honneur du célèbre pilote beauceron Langis Caron, une légende du stock car québécois qui a évolué au cours des années 70-80 sur les pistes du Québec parmi les meilleurs de son époque.
Langis Caron profite de sa retraite en s'amusant à compétitionner dans la série de stock-car Vintage Québec. Notre vétéran pilote de 72 ans s'est même permis 2 victoires au cours de la saison 2014, dont la toute dernière course disputée il y a deux semaines à Ste-Croix.
Les amateurs présents à l'Autodrome Chaudière ce vendredi auront donc la chance de voir évoluer le pilote de la voiture #35 en «live« lors des deux courses de l' ASCVQ qui font partie du programme de ce vendredi, qui, en cas de pluie, sera remis à dimanche le 7 septembre.
Les autres pilotes de l'ASCVQ qui seront sur place tenteront le tout pour le tout pour se mériter la victoire. On sait que seuls les Verner (2), Caron (2) et Rocheleau (1) ont eu accès à la première marche du podium en finale jusqu'à date en 2014.
C'est donc un rendez-vous vendredi à l'Autodrome Chaudière pour y voir encore une fois de l'action, du son et de la ''rod'', le tout imprégné d'un peu de nostalgie.
Quant à la dernière de la saison, c'est du côté de la capitale nationale, Ottawa, qu'elle sera tenue le 13 septembre prochain,
Pour tout renseignement concernant la série, on peut communiquer avec les dirigeants au courriel stockcarvintagequebec@hotmail.com ou en consultant le site webwww.ascvq.org

NASCAR AND COMCAST REACH 10-YEAR SERIES ENTITLEMENT AGREEMENT; MATCHES LONGEST SINGLE SERIES TITLE SPONSORSHIP PACT
IN THE SPORT'S HISTORY
Comcast's XFINITY Brand to Become
Only Third Title Sponsor of the Series 'Where Names Are Made'
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. and PHILADELPHIA (SEPTEMBER 3, 2014) — NASCAR and Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) announced today a historic agreement that will make Comcast's XFINITY brand the title sponsor of what is now known as the NASCAR Nationwide Series through 2024. The 10-year term matches the longest single agreement around title sponsorship of any NASCAR national series in history, and is the longest entitlement sponsorship agreement in this series' history.
Beginning January 1, 2015, the property will be known as the NASCAR XFINITY Series. XFINITY will become only the third title sponsor in series history following Anheuser-Busch (26 years) and Nationwide Insurance (seven years). The agreement also makes XFINITY an Official NASCAR Partner in the multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) and broadband ISP categories.
The announcement was made during an event at the NASCAR Hall of Fame – where the sport's history is celebrated every day – and was the first series entitlement sponsorship ever announced at the venue.
XFINITY is Comcast's residential service brand and is the nation's largest video and high-speed Internet provider. The company has increased Internet speeds for existing customers 13 times in 12 years and recently introduced XFINITY on the X1 Entertainment Operating System. The company also offers XFINITY On Demand, the most robust video on demand platform in the world. Comcast serves business and residential customers in 39 states and Washington, D.C.
"We're proud to welcome XFINITY to the NASCAR community as title sponsor of the NASCAR XFINITY Series for the next decade," said Brian France, NASCAR Chairman & CEO. "NASCAR and XFINITY are each leader brands with much in common. Both are focused on innovation and have products built for speed. Together, we will work to take this series to new heights and elevate one of the most unique and powerful partnerships in all of sports."
What will soon be known as the NASCAR XFINITY Series is the property where names are made and is like nothing else in major pro sports. It features the most talented young drivers regularly competing side-by-side against NASCAR's biggest and brightest stars.
"Technology lives at the heart of NASCAR, just as it does for XFINITY," said Dave Watson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Comcast Cable. "NASCAR provides an exciting environment in which to showcase our video and Internet products and we look forward to further enhancing the fan experience at home, at the track and on the go for years to come."
The series also has a large, highly engaged and technology-connected television audience. It races in some of the nation's largest markets – from Chicago to Los Angeles to Miami – and at the sport's biggest and most iconic tracks – from Daytona International Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway, to Talladega Superspeedway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
According to NASCAR Fan Engagement Tracker 2013 (commissioned by NASCAR and conducted by Toluna), NASCAR fans spend an average of four-and-a-half hours each week watching NASCAR on television and an additional two-and-a-half-hours each week following the sport on digital platforms.
XFINITY is among the premier sponsors in sports today and a robust sponsorship activation program is part of the new agreement with NASCAR, with aggressive planning already underway.
Comcast's involvement with NASCAR is expanding rapidly. In addition to the NASCAR XFINITY Series announced today, Comcast's NBC Sports unit will begin broadcasting NASCAR race events in July 2015.
After a successful seven-year run as series entitlement sponsor, Nationwide Insurance pivoted its marketing programs to become a NASCAR team sponsor next season. Nationwide also is the official auto, home, life and business insurance partner of NASCAR.
The NASCAR Nationwide Series will make its return to Richmond International Raceway for the Virginia529 College Savings 250 on September 5, and will be aired on ESPN2. The first race of the 2015 NASCAR XFINITY Series season, and of the new partnership, will be during Daytona Speedweeks on February 21, 2015, at the famed Daytona International Speedway.

NASCAR Hall of Famer to meet with fans at Rutland County track on September 14
For Immediate Release DBS-090314-1
WEST HAVEN, VT – NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Bobby Allison will make a long-awaited return to Devil's Bowl Speedway on Sunday, September 14, as he is honored as the Grand Marshal for the Mekkelsen RV Vermont 200 Championship Weekend. The celebrated leader of the "Alabama Gang" will be part of the festivities some 42 years after making his first appearance at the Rutland County track.
The 1983 champion and an 85-race winner on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Allison was in the middle of his legendary career when he made a stop at Devil's Bowl Speedway on July 16, 1972. Having already won the Trenton 300 in New Jersey earlier in the day, Allison was scheduled to compete in a Late Model race at Devil's Bowl that evening. The skies opened just as he arrived at the track, however, and the race was cancelled due to rain.
Though he retired from racing in 1988, Allison is still active behind the wheel – as a designated driver. The Vermont Governor's Highway Safety Program's "Designated Drivers are Legendary" campaign will visit Devil's Bowl for the Vermont 200 Weekend. Glen Fitzgerald, a race fan from Clarendon, VT, took a pledge at the track earlier this season to always drive sober or use a sober designated driver, and was chosen to have Allison as his "designated driver" for the day on Sunday, September 14. Fitzgerald and Allison will arrive at Devil's Bowl by limousine for the start of the races on Sunday. Allison will also serve as the Grand Marshal for the event and will greet fans during an autograph session.
The Mekkelsen RV Vermont 200 Championship Weekend is a two-day racing extravaganza filled with non-stop action. The weekend opens with first-round qualifying for the track's Modified, Renegade, and Mini Stock divisions, the annual Non-Winner Shootouts, and qualifying and a main event for the North East Mini Stock Tour, followed by a Saturday night party that includes a barbeque pig roast, a massive bonfire, and free weekend camping. Main events will be held on Sunday and include finales for the Vermont State Late Model Championship Series and all four regular NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions.
Two-day general admission is just $25 for adults and free for children age 12 and under. The Saturday-only ticket is $10, while the Sunday-only ticket is $20. Two-day pit area admission is $40 and includes admission to the Saturday night party. Grandstand gates open at 11:00 a.m. with racing at 1:30 p.m. on both days.
Devil's Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, VT four miles north of Exit 2 on U.S. Route 4. For more information, call (802) 265-3112 or visit www.devilsbowlspeedwayvt.com. Devil's Bowl Speedway is on Facebook at facebook.com/DevilsBowlSpeedway and on Twitter and Instagram at @DevilsBowlSpeed; follow the action using the #DevilsBowl and #VT200 hashtags.

AUTODROME CHAUDIÈRE
LES DEUX PLUS GROS SHOW DE L'ANNÉE!
Après la venue de Kyle Busch qui fut l'attraction de l'année en course automobile au Québec, l'Autodrome Chaudière conclue sa programmation régulière par un doublé de haut calibre que l'on peut qualifier sans prétention des deux plus gros SHOW au Québec.
VENDREDI 5 SEPTEMBRE 18H30 : Roberge à Surveiller…
La fin de semaine débute par «LE LANGIS CARON SPORTSMAN 150 HABITATIONS DANY LAGACÉ» avec les meilleurs pilotes de la Série Sportsman Québec. Seulement quarante-huit (48) points entre la première et la cinquième position. Qui de Philippe Poulin, Dominic Jacques, Steve Lesage, Gerry Bilodeau et Louis-Philippe Labrecque remportera ce championnat fin de saison? C'est leur dernière course de la saison et ne l'auront pas facile, car les non réguliers comme Kevin Roberge qui a remporté la dernière course invitation le 22 août dernier, Sébastien Mercier et Tony Côté qui est toujours un des plus rapides à Vallée vont tout mettre en œuvre pour gravir la 1ière marche du podium avec le 2000$ qui s'y rattache. Il y a également 4000$ à distribuer aux différents meneurs de cette finale de 150 tours.
Au même programme la Série Procam SuperTruck, Les Vintage, Kamikaze, Limité et Sport Compacte.
SAMEDI 6 SEPTEMBRE 17H30 : Tyller Dippel à Surveiller
S'enchaîne le samedi avec le «THUNDER VALLEY PASS NATIONAL 200 AUTOBUS LA QUÉBÉCOISE» pour la 3ième tranche de la Triple Couronne PASS NORTH. Nous verrons alors tous les meilleurs pilotes des Séries Pass Nord et Sud. Donc la même course pour trois championnat : Triple Couronne Pass North, Pass North et National.
Du côté américain les Shaw, Clark, Rowe, Benjamin, Doiron, Luce, Gerry et Cie seront tous sur place et du côté sud à surveiller les deux merveilles de l'heure au championnat National, les jeunes Tyller Dippel et Tate Fogleman, respectivement 1er et 3ième au classement et âgés tous les deux de seulement 14 ans.
Du côté québécois à surveiller la voiture # 16 de Kevin Roberge qui sans un bris mécanique aurait certainement occupé une marche sur le podium lors de la venue de Kyle Busch. «Des correctifs ont été apportés et nous j'entrevois cette course avec confiance» de déclarer Roberge.
A ne pas négliger également les Labbé, Latulippe, Theetge, Lavoie, Poulin, Laperle, St-Gelais, Gingras, Allard, Duchesneau et autres.
Au même programme, Procam, Kamikaze, Limité et Sport Compacte qui en seront tous à leur dernière course pour le championnat.
Donc deux programmes à ne pas manquer. Pour le grand public, l'accès aux gradins se fait vendredi le 5 septembre à compter de 16h00 et à 13h00 pour samedi le 6 septembre.

Programme double pour la Série Procam Super Truck
La conclusion du Championnat aura lieu à l'autodrome Chaudière ce vendredi et ce samedi 5 et 6 septembre 2014 !
Plus de 20 camions ont déjà confirmé leur présence.
La lutte au championnat est très relevée et tout va se jouer ce weekend !
Chaque pilote devait retrancher sa moins bonne performance jusqu'à présent, ce qui a pour effet de chambarder le classement !
Présentement c'est le #92 de Joey Ladouceur qui est en tête suivi de très près par le #422 de Marc-Antoine Demers. Alors que 5 points séparent les deux premiers, le #77 de Charles Harvey n'est qu'à 3 points du #422 ! Le #72 de Steve Lavigne et le #91 de Jimmy Roy complètent le top 5 mais ils sont menacés par le #37 de Dany Gariépy et le #99 de Patrice Gingras !
Des nouveaux !
Stéphane Lecours, ancien pilote Limité et LMS fera ses débuts ce weekend. Il a récemment fait l'achat d'un camion et il sera à surveiller sur cette piste qu'il connaît très bien.
Vendredi, Martin Horik sera à bord du camion #1 des restaurants Valentine et Pascal Ste-Marie de Viau Ford prendra sa place pour la course de samedi.
La finale de 40 tours de vendredi vous est présentée par JASS Racing alors que la finale de la saison sera présentée par Bocar.ca, les distributeurs de produit d'esthétique automobile au Québec.
Comme toujours les pilotes de la série Procam Super Truck offrent un excellent spectacle et la conclusion du Championnat 2015 sera assurément haute en couleur !
Qui sera le nouveau Champion ?
Ladouceur ? Lui qui en est à sa première saison sur l'asphalte !
Demers ? Qui a été dominant et constant toute la saison !
Harvey ? Qui après un début de saison difficile, revient en force avec des victoires !
Les paris sont ouverts ! Et c'est à l'autodrome Chaudière que nous connaitrons le dénouement ! Soyez-y !
