À la suite de la 2e journée de pratique à la piste de @official oxford plains speedway, le sympathique Glenn Luce a enregistré le plus rapide chrono avec un 15.510 secondes. Wayne Helliwell Jr (15.572) est deuxième. 3- Scott Farrington 4- Spenser Davis 5- David Oliver 6- Cassius Clark (voiture de Rollie MacDonald) 7- Johnny Clark 8- Kelly More 9- Mike Rowe 10- Alan Tardiff 16-@dj Shaw / Precision JLM (15.806) 21- Brian Hoar (15.831) 23- Raphaël Lessard (15.843) 35- Joey Polewarczyk (15.915) 50- Patrick Laperle (16.005) Histoires bien différentes pour nos deux québécois sur place. Ironiquement, les deux équipes sont stationnées face-à-face dans les garages. Tandis que le clan Lessard jubile par le regain de vitesse et la performance avec la voiture de Gilillan Racing, du côté des Laperle ont cherche désespérément le problème qui s'acharne sur la voiture tantôt souvireuse et à d'autres moment survireuse. Plusieurs continuent de travailler sur les bolides et se faire "quelques setups" pour demain, car ils n'auront que 3 pratiques de 30 minutes pour pauffiner les ajustements en vue des qualifications, 6 vagues de 20 tours - 4 premier passent à la finale; 3 consis de 20 tours - 3 premier passent à la finale; Le gagnant de la consolation. Pour une grille de 34 pilotes par les qualifictions. Ont peut s'attendre à un choix du promoteur, un provisional Pro All Star Series pour 36 voitures (à confirmer).

NASCAR Canadian Tire Series News & Notes: CTMP
· Penultimate Event For 2015 Season
· Lacroix Looks To Continue Breakout Campaign
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Aug. 25, 2015) – The surprise of the 2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 season, Kevin Lacroix will look to continue his magical run in the Pinty's presents the Clarington 200.
A promising road course prospect, Lacroix shut down his racing career for five years before returning to the sport this May when he debuted in the Canadian Tire Series during Victoria Day SpeedFest. Unfortunately he was involved in an accident four laps into the event, but the first-time misfortune quickly proved to not be an indicator of things to come.
Nobody could have predicted what happened when Lacroix made his second series appearance at Circuit ICAR near his hometown of St-Eustache, Quebec. With a pass of polesitter Alex Tagliani three laps into the event, Lacroix cruised to a dominant victorious performance.
It was just the beginning of what has been a historic season for the 26-year-old, as he became the first driver to record a win in just his second Canadian Tire Series start.
Following ICAR, Lacroix made his oval debut at this home track, Autodrome St-Eustache. He was fast right out of the trailer and qualified third, but had a rear end failure after spending much of the first half race running with the leaders, and retired early from the event.
Lacroix's fourth appearance featured even more history as he passed Andrew Ranger coming to the checkered flag in the prestigious Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres to become the first rookie in Canadian Tire Series history to win two races in a season.
As the series returns to Bowmanville, Lacroix has one more opportunity for history ahead of him. Only Ranger, in both 2009 and 2010, has won three road course races in a season.
If his first four races are any indication, no mark is safe for this upstart.

Fast Facts
The Race: The Pinty's presents the Clarington 200 will be the penultimate event of the 2015 season for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1, and the second of two races at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
The Procedure: The maximum starting field is 34 cars, including provisionals. The first 29 cars will have secured starting positions through NASCAR road-race style group qualifying. The qualifying groups will be determined by practice times, and the two sessions will be 20 minutes apiece. The remaining five starting spots will be awarded through the provisional process. Four change tires are allotted for the race, which is scheduled for 51 laps (125.4 miles, 201.8 kilometers).
The Track: Canadian Tire Motorsport Park opened for auto racing in 1961. The 2.459-mile, 10-turn road course welcomed the Canadian Tire Series for the first time on June 17, 2007, an event won by Andrew Ranger. The facility also previously featured a half-mile oval that held seven series events from 2007-13.
Race Winners: There have been five different race winners in 11 all-time races at the CTMP road course. J.R. Fitzpatrick has the most wins with five, including a 2014 sweep. Rookie Gary Klutt won from the pole in the May season-opener.

Pinty's Presents The Clarington 200 Notes
Fourth Title in Sight for Steckly: With just two events left on the 2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 schedule, Scott Steckly is closing in on what would be a fourth series championship. The Milverton, Ontario, native brings a 12-point lead on Andrew Ranger to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Based on their respective histories at the track, Ranger stands to make up some ground this week, but Steckly has been on a roll for the majority of the campaign. Steckly has won three of the previous six races, including last time out at Nova Scotia's Riverside International Speedway when he had lapped all but the second place car at the finish.
Steckly on the Road: Despite Steckly's wealth of success in the Canadian Tire Series, he's still in pursuit of a first road course victory. In 38 all-time series events on the road, Steckly has posted an impressive average finish of 8.5, but a trip to the Winner's Circle has eluded him. A 19-time winner on ovals, Steckly has been a runner-up on the road four times with a best finish at CTMP of third in 2012. He finished fifth at the Bowmanville course in May.
Ranger's CTMP Success: Ranger has won the pole in five of 11 all-time events at CTMP, and he's raced pretty well there too. The Roxton Pond, Quebec, road ace has an average finish of 8.4 at the facility, where he won the inaugural event in 2007 and earned a second victory in 2009 – his two championship seasons. During May's Victoria Day SpeedFest, Ranger finished ninth after starting second.
Double Duty for Tagliani: Alex Tagliani will duplicate his experience from a year ago and pull double duty at CTMP. In addition his regular Canadian Tire Series No. 18 EpiPen Chevrolet ride, the accomplished Quebec wheelman will also compete in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event with Brad Keselowski Racing. Tagliani made his series debut in a BKR entry in last year's Chevrolet Silverado 250 and finished 16th after winning the pole.
Gallagher Entered With 22 Racing: Camping World Truck Series regular Spencer Gallagher is entered for the Pinty's presents the Clarington 200 in the 22 Racing No. 24 and will run as a teammate to Steckly. It will mark the Canadian Tire Series debut for Gallagher, who has four top 10s in 26 career Camping World Truck Series starts. His only previous NASCAR road racing experience was three such starts in 2011 in K&N Pro Series West action.
Rookie Race: The Jostens Rookie of the Year competition is coming down to the wire as Marc-Antoine Camirand leads May CTMP winner Gary Klutt by just three tallies with two races to go. Klutt had a fast start to the campaign, but Camirand has come on strong during the season's second half with four top fives in the last five races, including a career-best runner-up finish last time out at Riverside.

Au circuit de Calabogie, près d'Ottawa... Double succès pour Jean-Sébastien Besner et Julien Legris
Communiqué de presse Pour diffusion immédiate
Au circuit de Calabogie, près d'Ottawa...
Double succès pour Jean-Sébastien Besner et Julien Legris
Montréal (Québec), le 23 août 2015.- La série Super Production Challenge (SPC) présentait ce week-end deux nouvelles épreuves, à l'occasion de sa seule présence annuelle en Ontario, au circuit de Calabogie. Dans le cadre du Ted Powell Memorial, les pilotes de SPC ont offert un excellent spectacle, couronnant Jean-Sébastien Besner pour la victoire toutes-catégories et Julien Legris en classe Compact.
Une course d'une heure, en compagnie des concurrents de la série ontarienne GT Challenge, était au programme des concurrents de SPC, mais cette épreuve était divisée en deux segments de trente minutes, donnant ainsi l'ordre d'arrivée de deux manches. Dix-sept pilotes de SPC étaient inscrits pour une course dont les deux manches ont entièrement dominées par Jean-Sébastien Besner (Mitsubishi Lancer Évo.9), devant Benoît Landry (Honda Civic Si) et le meneur du championnat, Marc Héroux (Scion FRS), respectivement deuxième et troisième les deux fois au fil d'arrivée.
La bataille pour la quatrième place a donné lieu à de nombreux changements de positions. C'est Jacques Gravel (BMW 328i) qui a fini à cette place lors de la première manche, tout juste devant Éric Durand (Chevrolet Cobalt SS). Disposant pourtant d'un budget parmi les plus faibles de la série, Durand est demeuré aux avant-postes tout au long de l'épreuve, parvenant même à gagner encore une position dans la seconde manche, finissant quatrième. Parti pour compléter le "Top 5", Gravel a dû renoncer à cinq tours de la fin. Sylvain Laporte (Mini Cooper S) complète finalement la ronde des cinq premiers.
Une fois encore, la classe Compact a quelque peu volé la vedette lors de ce programme au Calabogie Motorsports Park. Avec les quatre premiers séparés par seulement une seconde et demi au passage de la ligne d'arrivée, l'action était à son comble. Julien Legris (Toyota Écho Hatchback) a remporté la première manche, devant les deux Honda Civic de l'équipe Lacombe Racing, pilotée par la recrue Éric Bellemare qui devance Gabriel Lacombe. Kevin et Pascal Bastien, qui se partageaient les commandes de la Mini Cooper du Bastien Racing Team, complètent le "Top 4".
La seconde manche a vu Julien Legris récidiver, en route vers une victoire qui lui ouvre un peu plus les portes du titre. Gabriel Lacombe a pris cette fois le deuxième rang, devant les Bastien tandis que Bellemare s'est retrouvé quatrième après une pénalité pour avoir effectué son arrête obligatoire aux puits en dehors de la période autorisée.
Des conditions climatiques parfaites, ponctuées d'un soleil omniprésent, ont marqué cette étape de la série SPC à Calabogie. Après ce succès, qui augure d'un retour de la série à la piste située au sud-ouest d'Ottawa en 2016, les concurrents ont encore une étape au calendrier de leur saison 2015. Un programme double à l'Autodrome St-Eustache le 10 octobre prochain. Deux manches qui décideront des titres dans les deux catégories. Et même si Marc Héroux, ainsi que Julien Legris en classe Compact, partent largement favoris, cette ultime épreuve 2015 s'annonce très disputée. À cette occasion, les pilotes de la classe Compact auront d'ailleurs leurs propres courses et les départs arrêtés "type Formule 1" seront de nouveau en vigueur.
Pour cette saison, Super Production Challenge reçoit le support de Pneus Falken, Ste-Rose Honda, Auto Sport Québec, LCS Compétition, Kart-O-Mania, Autocourse.ca, Pole-Position Magazine, Flagworld Communications, Racing Radios International, Perry Performance Compétition, Optik Design et Mixcom Productions Audiovisuelles.

La 3e et 4e position sont toutes aussi chaudement disputées alors que seulement 3 points séparent le #71 Johny Vachon du #27 Keven Bisson. De belles batailles sont à prévoir.
Les jeunes pilotes de la série Mini Sportsman en seront aussi à leur championnat de fin de saison lors de ce programme. Le #13 Samuel Boyer a dominé à plusieurs reprises depuis le début de la saison, mais le #38 Mathieu Goulet n'a pas dit son dernier mot. Après le dernier programme, seulement 3 points séparent les deux pilotes. Quant à la classe développement, le #7 Wylliam Perron a, lors du dernier programme réussi à réduire l'écart qui le séparait de la #8 Victoria Bélanger. À 5 points de distance, le travail sera colossal, mais tout est encore possible!
Verner et Caron en piste
L'association de Stock-Car Vintage du Québec sera de retour pour une 2e fois cette saison. Au volant de sa nova 1975, le #35 Langis Caron sera de retour sur l'ovale de Vallée-Jonction pour tenter de monter à nouveau sur le podium. Il aura fort à faire avec en piste le #B45 Patrick Verner, pilote qui a fait ses marques un peu partout au Québec.
Reprise pour les Sportsman Qc
Le programme de ce weekend est la remise du 30 mai dernier. Nous assisterons donc à un programme de 2 fois 50 tours avec positions inversées sur le tour du meneur. À deux courses de la fin de la saison, chacun des points obtenus pourrait venir faire la différence. Le #67 Dominic Jacques souvent dominant sur ce circuit mène actuellement le championnat avec 15 points d'avance sur le #17 Jimmy Nadeau. Plusieurs pourraient jouer le tout pour le tout lors de ce programme afin de gagner un maximum de points. Deux finales qui ne manqueront assurément pas d'action!
ACT-Procam de retour sur l'asphalte
Après avoir couru la semaine dernière à l'Autodrome Granby sur la terre battue, les pilotes de la série ACT-Procam seront de retour sur l'asphalte pour deux finales de 50 tours aussi. Le #91 Jimmy Roy est actuellement en tête du championnat. En deuxième position et troisième position, on retrouve les #100,5 Stéphane Lecours et #72 Steve Lavigne à égalité avec 213 points. Est-ce que l'expérience d'un Stéphane Lecours sur le tracé de Vallée-Jonction avantagera le pilote? Ayant offert une belle performance lors de leur passage le 13 juin dernier, on peut s'attendre à de belles luttes parmi les meneurs.
On vous attend donc en grand nombre ce samedi 29 août pour assister à un programme qui promet d'être haut en adrénaline !
