Linc Brown Faces a Busy Stretch on the APC Pro Late Model Series Tour

 

Linc Brown Faces a Busy Stretch on the APC Pro Late Model Series Tour

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 

Every once in a while, a driver will face the challenge of adjusting to a track where they've never raced before. Friday, June 26th that was the task set out before Colborne, Ontario's Linc Brown as the APC Pro Late Model Series visited Delaware Speedway as part of their inaugural tour. The veteran runner knew it would take some time to adjust to the legendary Southwestern Ontario speedplant. 

 

Arriving at the track late, Brown missed the first practice session and that put the team behind schedule for nearly the entire day. Needing a provisional to crack the starting field, the #99 Dodge Charger was working its way through the field when the car slipped in some oil and made contact with the wall, damaging a rocker panel. The crew also received a penalty for working on the car during the red flag period. 

 

"It was a tough outing all around, but that will happen from time-to-time," said the driver. "There were 39 drivers looking for a spot in a race that would only start 32 teams. It wasn't our best effort, but we were able to race while some others loaded-up and went home. I've always tried to see the glass as being half-full and coming away with an 18th place finish on a difficult day is something to build-on."

 

With the Canada Day Invitational on the schedule for Wednesday, July 1st at Flamboro Speedway, Linc Brown and his crew were faced with some late hours in the shop to get the car ready for the next race. Unlike the Delaware event less than a week earlier, 27 were on hand and everyone made the show. Brown had a solid qualifying effort and was running well when a flat tire changed his day.

 

"I could tell the tire was going down, but there had been a number of caution flags early in the going," admitted Brown. "I stayed on the track as long as I could, hoping for another yellow but we had to pit and would-up losing a handful of laps getting it changed. The car was running great and we managed to get the lucky dog free pass on a few subsequent yellow flags, but we were never able to get back with the leaders." 

 

After running toward the front of the pack and challenging some of the top names on the tour during the opening 5th of the show, Brown could only muster an 16thplace finish when the checkered flag fell. Not the run the team was looking for, but they'll look to rebound at the next event on the schedule.

 

"We're racing well at every event and seem to have the speed once the green flag waves," said Brown. "We've often gained spots on the restarts and run well. All that's missing is a bit of racing luck to turn things around."

 

Currently 17th in the standings, next on the agenda for the #99 Kawartha Metals Corporation, Don Butt Auto Body, Belleville Transmission & Auto Service, Mayhew Graphics, Rousseau Publications, Milner Financial Planners & Insurance Brokers and Clarke Motorsports Communications Late Model team is Saturday, July 18th at Peterborough Speedway.

Samedi 18 juillet: Modified Madness à l'Autodrome St-Eustache

Samedi 18 juillet: Modified Madness à l'Autodrome St-Eustache


La terre tremblera dans la région de St-Eustache dans la soirée du 18 juillet, lors de la présentation de la 1ère édition du ''Modified Madness'' à l'Autodrome St-Eustache. Plusieurs pilotes de voitures 358 Modifiés et Sportsman Modifiés sur asphalte sont attendus pour cet événement qui saura en mettre plein la vue et plein les oreilles aux amateurs. Les divisions NASCAR Légende Modifiée et Sport Compacte MRQ sont également au programme de même que la série Challlenge 4. Les pilotes de la série NASCAR Sportsman Lucas Oil quant à eux, feront relâche ce week-end. Ils seront de retour en piste le 25 juillet prochain lors du Lucas Oil 250 présenté par Lacroix Tuning, qui mettra en vedette les pilotes de la série NASCAR Canadian Tire.

358 Modifiés

Nouvelle division de l'Autodrome St-Eustache cette saison, les bolides 358 Modifiés ont su se faire remarquer de la part des spectateurs présents aux programmes du circuit des Basses-Laurentides. Plusieurs pilotes américains profiteront d'un week-end de congé à leur circuit habituel du nord des États-Unis pour venir confronter les pilotes local de l'ASE. Invaincu depuis le début de la saison, l'américain Chris Cayea #18 de Mooers NY entend bien poursuivre sa série victorieuse et il compte ne pas s'en laisser imposer par les ''visiteurs''. 2 épreuves de 25 tours sont prévues samedi soir pour les bolides 358 Modifiés.

NASCAR Sport Compacte MRQ

Grâce à une brillante victoire lors du dernier programme, Yannick Miron #90, prend le contrôle du championnat dans cette division. Toutefois, il se doit de répéter l'exploit samedi prochain, alors qu'il n'a qu'un maigre 5 points d'avance sur son plus proche rival, Yannick Thibeault #72. Ce dernier, qui connaît un excellent début de saison, visera sans aucun doute la plus haute marche du podium afin de déloger Miron du sommet du classement. Insatisfait des performances de son bolide depuis le début de la saison, le vétéran Stéphane Gauvreau #68, devrait se présenter avec une nouvelle mécanique samedi soir. Parviendra-t-il à décrocher une première victoire cette saison?

NASCAR Légende Modifiée

Difficile de passer sous silence les performances époustouflantes de Steve Côté #7 depuis le début de la saison, lui qui est invaincu jusqu'à présent. Toutefois, les autres pilotes de la division donnent également de solides performances et plusieurs de ceux-ci connaissent une excellent progression. Parmi eux, le jeune Lucien Jr Campeau #90 qui connaît un excellent début de saison et Mario Grenon #27 qui a monté sur la 2e marche du podium le 20 juin dernier, après avoir résisté à Côté pendant plusieurs tours. Stéphane Caron #99 et François Verville #56 seront également à surveiller, eux qui ont complété le podium lors de la dernière épreuve. Assisterons-nous à des alliances entre quelques-uns de ces pilotes afin d'empêcher celui qu'on surnomme le ''California Kid'' de remporter une 5e victoire consécutive?

Challenge 4 Meilleur Ramoneur

Les pilotes de cette division sont sans aucun doute parmi les plus spectaculaires en piste. Avec des grilles de départ imposantes à chaque épreuves, bien malin celui ou celle qui saura prédire quelle sera la voiture qui franchira la ligne d'arrivée la première. Guillaume Dinelle #03, qui est présentement en tête du championnat, aura un défi de taille que de conserver cette position jusqu'à la fin de la saison. Il aura à surveiller de près certains pilotes, dont les Jimmy Lee Chagnon #160 et Cédrick Fauteux #52 , respectivement en 2e et 3e position au classement général à seulement 2 points d'écart entre eux.

Samedi prochain, la destination privilégiée des amateurs de courses est sans aucun doute l'Autodrome St-Eustache avec la présentation de la soirée ''Modified Madness''. Pour l'occasion, l'ouverture au public est prévue pour 18h00. Les qualifications débuteront à 19h45 et les finales à 20h15. Cette soirée est une présentation du Restaurant St-Hubert de St-Eustache.

STECKLY LEADS ALL 300 LAPS ON ROUTE TO EDMONTON VICTORY

 

STECKLY LEADS ALL 300 LAPS ON ROUTE TO EDMONTON VICTORY

 

 

Sunday July 12, 2015, Edmonton, AB:  The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 has been on a streak of firsts over the last three events and Saturday night in Westaskawin was no exception. Steckly led all 300 laps on the way to his first win of 2015 and while two other drivers have led entire races over the series history no one has done it on an oval track until now.


Steckly was happy with his Canadian Tire entry right off the hauler. "The car is real close to where I need it to be," said Steckly.  "We just need a few tweaks for qualifying and we should be good."

 

The changes continued to keep him out front as Steckly posted the quickest time of the qualifying session to give him his 14th career pole.

 

Steckly was able to stay up front and build a solid lead during the first half of the 300 lap event. A competition caution followed at lap 150 and after coming to the attention of his crew for tires and fuel, Steckly again lined up at the front of the 20 car field.  Several caution periods over the final 150 laps had Steckly proving how strong his 22 Racing/Canadian Tire Dodge was as he continuously had to beat his challengers on those starts, including a five lap dash to the finish.  "I can't say enough about my team," said Steckly after the race.  "They are the best in this series and they work tirelessly to give me these great cars ever week so this win is a salute to them.  I also have a great group of sponsors who have mostly been with us for several years.  We were close to the win at CTMP in May and Chaudiere in June so it feels good to finally seal the deal here in Wetaskawin."

 

The Alberta Has Energy 300 will air on TSN on Saturday, July 18 at 2:30 p.m. ET, and on RDS2 on Friday, July 31 at 8 p.m.

 

Next up for Steckly and his Canadian Tire Dodge team will be at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway on Wednesday July 15th.

 

Scott Steckly is supported by Canadian Tire, MAXIMUM Tools, Mobil 1, Erb Transport, AW Millwrights, Reefer Sales & NOCO Lubricants.

Toonie Admission Night Turns on the FANS at Peterborough Speedway

Toonie Admission Night Turns on the FANS at Peterborough Speedway

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 

It can be difficult to find a great night of entertainment for just $2.00, but 3 times each season Peterborough Speedway hosts a Toonie Spectator Grandstand Admission/Fan Appreciation Night. Saturday, July 11th a near capacity crowd saw an outstanding night of action with the Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun, Paul Davis Systems Thunder Car, Mini Stock, Earl Ireland Auto Sales Late Model and Ontario Modifieds Racing Series divisions.

 




Feature race action got underway with Ray Schroer and Brandon Feeney pacing the field of 21 starters to the Great Canadian RV green flag for the Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun 20 lapper. At the drop of the green flag, Terry Hubbard took the over the second spot early and by the time there were 12 laps complete, the leaders had caught the tail-end of the field. Sean Kennedy grabbed top spot a lap later and managed to hold-off a late race charge by Ryan Oosterholt to take his first win of the year. Schroer, Matthew Vanderbelt and Jeremy Kelly completed the top 5.

 

Bailey Jacobs and Steve Mayhew brought the pack of Paul Davis Systems Thunder Car pack to the stripe for their headline dance. Jacobs and Mayhew fought for the lead during the race's early stages, while Howie Crowe looked for an advantage on the outside line. Daryl Fice – making his first start of the year – got the better of the front-runners before 10 laps showed on the scoreboard, but had defending track champion Anthony DiBello on his back bumper. As the pair worked around Eric Crowe, there was contact between the 3 cars that resulted in a red flag. With a 3 lap shootout to settle the score, Dan Archibald took the win. Howie Crowe, Mayhew, Dale Wood, in his first start of the season and Jacobs chased the #07 across the stripe.

 

With 20 laps on the table and a trip to Dart Heating and Air Conditioning victory lane waiting for the winner, Miles Tyson and Charlie Smith started on the front row for the Mini Stock feature tilt. Tyson had the dominant car early, but Tyler Junkin had moved into the runner-up spot with just a handful of laps complete. The lead duo ran up on a large pack of back markers with a dozen down and when Donovan Price hit the outside front stretch wall to create a green-white-checkered finish, Junkin grabbed the win. Brandon Hannah, Kyle Baker and Kevin Strutt finished-out the fast 5.

 

Travis Hallyburton and Paul Maltese had a pack of 14 hungry teams on their tail as the Earl Ireland Auto Sales Late Models rolled from the staging area for what would be an action-packed feature event. The yellow flag flew early when Jeff Toms cut a right front tire. Fellow invader Rick Walt took the top spot from Hallyburton with 5 laps complete and held the advantage until issues with a right-rear tire sent him pit-side late in the going. Hallyburton held back a charge from Dave Morgan for the win, with Tyler Betts, Mike Wallace and Amanda Connolly the top 5.

 

The final feature event of the night was a 25 lapper for the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series, with Corey Horner and Ryan Babin in control of the field. While Alex Lees and Babin were the class of the field early in the run, things tightened-up when Donny Beatty and Ryan Dick combined to bring out the first yellow flag on the 7th lap. Just a couple of circuits later, the first turn turned into a parking lot after Babin hit the retaining wall. Josh Gruntz needed to take evasive action down an escape route and the race was red flagged to check on the driver. Back under green, all eyes were on John Baker Jr. The crowd favourite made it 2 wins in a row, with a victory over Brad Stevenson, Lees, Beatty and Rob Warnes.

 

Qualifying heat wins earlier in the night went to Ryan Oosterholt with a pair, Sean Kennedy and Jordan Desroches in the Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun. Dan Archibald with a pair, Luke Gignac and Howie Crowe in the Paul Davis Systems Thunder Cars. Kevin Strutt, Donovan Price with a pair and Miles Tyson in the Mini Stocks. Dave Morgan, Amanda Connolly, Travis Hallyburton and Bryan Sudsbury in the Earl Ireland Auto Sales Late Models. Donny Beatty, Corey Horner, John Baker Jr. and Brad Stevenson for the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series.

 

Bullring bullet points: The 50/50 draw paid $1266.00 to Patricia Barberstock of Belleville, Ontario…A number of Late Model teams including Travis and Thane Hallyburton, Rick Walt and Randy Bull made their first Peterborough Speedway starts of the season…Quick thinking by Art Rodgers during the Thunder Car red flag brought a fire under the hood of Tom Podd's machine to the attention of track safety workers.

 

Next action at Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved Oval is Saturday, July 18th when the APC Pro Late Model Series checks-in for a 100 lapper. Also on the show will be the Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun, Paul Davis Systems Thunder Car and OSCAAR Midget divisions. Pit gates open at 2:00, with the spectator grandstands unlocked at 4:00 and the first green flag at 6:00.

WEST HAVEN, VT – Vince Quenneville Jr. is loving his new racecar, and he parked it in victory lane at Devil's Bowl Speedway for the second week in a row on Friday, July 10.  The Brandon, VT veteran won the double-points Rutland Herald Mid-Season Championship event, making it a perfect two-for-two in his new Troyer chassis.  Other winners on the night included Robert Bryant Jr., Jimmy Bushey, and Chris LaVair.

Quenneville started last on the field because of his victory in the previous event, but that didn't slow him down any.  A steady climb through traffic brought him to the back bumper of leader Jimmy Ryan by lap 15 of the 35-lap race; he made several attempts at getting by Ryan before finally finding grip in the outside lane and nosing ahead at lap 22.  After that, Quenneville was long gone and cruised to his second-straight victory in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series presented by Yandow Sales & Service and John Deere.

Ryan was in a fierce fight with Greg Atkins, point leader Ron Proctor, and Joey Roberts during the rest of the race, and Proctor eventually made his way into the runner-up spot.  Atkins finished third for his seventh consecutive top-five finish, followed by Roberts and Ryan.  Proctor, of Charlton, NY, holds a 14-point lead in the championship standings over Quenneville (455-441) entering the second half of the season.

Robert Bryant Jr. of Brooklyn, CT worked hard for his first win of the season in the 30-lap Central Vermont Motorcycles Late Model feature.  Side-by-side action was the theme of the race, and Bryant ran in close quarters with Steve Miller for several laps near the halfway point before taking over at lap 18.  Bryant led a group of seven cars in the lead pack that took turns swapping positions throughout the final laps, and Bristol, VT's Josh Masterson ended up in the runner-up position.  Jamie Aube came from 14th starting spot to finish third, followed by Miller and Bobby Therrien.

Masterson's good finish in the double-points race, combined with a hard crash on the opening lap for chief rival Todd Stone, gives him a sizeable lead in the championship standings.  Bryant moved up to second place with his win, but trails Masterson by 44 points (365-321).  Stone entered the event just five points off Masterson's lead but dropped to third place, 61 points behind.

Jimmy Bushey captured a popular and emotional victory in the 20-lap Brileya's Chrysler-Jeep Renegade feature.  Bushey lost his Mooers Forks, NY home in a devastating fire on June 13 while he was competing at Airborne Park Speedway and had been out of action for three weeks, but rebounded with a dominant win in the Mid-Season Championship race – his first win at Devil's Bowl.

Rookie Matt Monaghan finished second for the best result of his young career in the class, followed by Robert Gordon, Jim McKiernan, and Scott FitzGerald.  Gordon, of Milton, VT, holds a 30-point advantage on FitzGerald (409-379) in the title chase.

Chris LaVair of Gabriels, NY made it five consecutive wins in the Portland Glass Mini Stocks, sweeping both halves of a two-segment race.  LaVair extended his lead in the division's all-time win list to 14, and also equaled the Devil's Bowl Speedway modern-era asphalt record of five consecutive wins, a mark set in 2010 by Renegade racer Jon Miller.  Chuck Bradford finished second in the event, followed by Harold LaVair, the winner's father.  Kyle Watrous ran fourth in his first start of the season, with rookie Tanner Crary fifth.  Chris LaVair has a comfortable 64-point lead in the standings over his father Harold LaVair (408-344).

The Rutland Area Vehicle Enthusiasts (RAVE) car club was also on hand for the event; Brad and Laurie Canty's 1969 Chevrolet Nova was voted by fans as the "best in show" while Damon and Tina Pelkey's 1947 Ford pickup truck won the burnout contest with an impressive smoke show.

Devil's Bowl Speedway hosts the family-fun "Monster Truck Mania" event on Tuesday, July 14 at 6:30 p.m., with four high-flying, car-crushing machines including Monster Jam World Freestyle Champion "Overkill Evolution" and the "Higher Education" monster school bus.  Four "Motor Madness" races will also be on the card, open to all drivers and all vehicles.  General admission is $15 for adults and only $5 for kids age 12 and under. Rules and entry forms for the Motor Madness races are available atwww.DevilsBowlSpeedwayVT.com.

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, visit www.DevilsBowlSpeedwayVT.com or call (802) 265-3112.  Devil's Bowl Speedway is on Facebook at facebook.com/DevilsBowlSpeedway and on Twitter and Instagram at @DevilsBowlSpeed; follow the action using the #DevilsBowl hashtag.

Nos classes locales à l'honneur


C'est ce vendredi 10 juillet que ce tenait le programme « Spécial Classes Locales » à l'Autodrome Vallée-Jonction.

Pour l'occasion, nous avons pu compter sur un car count plus qu'intéressant alors que les 3 classes locales venaient disputer chacun deux finales.

On comptait 20 voitures Sport Compact Amateur, 27 Sport Compact Élite et 8 Limité.





William Grondin accède à son 1er podium

Dans la classe Sport Compact Amateur Oricom Internet, le jeune pilote de la voiture #700, William Grondin de Vallée-Jonction commandité par Garage Mario Groleau a réalisé une soirée exceptionnelle en terminant en 3e position à la première course et en 2e position à la 2e finale ce qui lui a valu un premier podium avec sa 3e position au combiné. Le #76 Marc-Antoine Carrier de St-Fabien de Panet commandité par Guillaume Bélanger a non seulement terminé 1er lors de la 1ere finale, mais il termine aussi au 1er rang dans le combiné des deux courses. Fort possiblement un résultat qui pourrait lui permettre d'accéder à la 3e position au classement général. Le #116 Kharl Landry de Ste-Marie, commandité par Hortibeauce Botanix Inc, complète le podium.

 

Kevin Bisson réalise une belle performance en Limité

Le #27 Kevin Bisson de Beauceville commandité par Garage 10/10 a connu une belle soirée en étant vainqueur de la première finale et 3e lors de la 2e finale ce qui lui a valu la victoire au combiné. Le #47 Yves Marcoux de Thetford Mines commandité par Grenier G.R. accède à la 2e position du podium Automobiles Wendake et la 3e place du combiné revient au  #116 Francis Grégoire de Saint-Isidore  commandité par Fondation P.G.

 

Bisson a le dessus sur Godbout

Deux finales distinctes avaient lieu ce soir pour la classe Sport Compact Élite Oricom Internet. Nous avons premièrement eu droit à la première manche de la Triple Couronne et c'est le #75 Steve Godbout qui remporte cette première étape suivie de près par le #26 Martin Bisson. Le #13 Robin Harrisson de Terrebonne complète le podium après que sa voiture soit entrée en collision dans les barils d'eau au bord de la piste en tentant d'éviter deux voitures en perte de contrôle. Un premier podium pour lui sur l'ovale de Vallée-Jonction pour le pilote commandité par Pneu 337.

Pour ce qui est de la finale #2, nous avons eu droit à une chaude lutte entre le pilote qui occupe actuellement le 1er rang au classement général, le #75 Steve Godbout et le pilote de la voiture #26 Martin Bisson. Tentant par tous les moyens de dépasser Bisson qui était soudé à la piste, Godbout termine en 2e position. Le #3 Sylvain Darveau de Ste-Marie qui était partie en 11e position a su prendre toutes les opportunités de dépassements qui se sont offertes à lui ce qui lui accorde la 3e position de ce programme. On a donc pu voir le #26 Martin Bisson remporter la victoire de cette finale devant les spectateurs visiblement heureux de le retrouver sur la première marche du podium.

 

Les résultats complets pour ce programme devront se faire attendre quelque peu suite aux inspections techniques des 5 premiers qui ont eu lieu à la fin du programme.

Nos 3 classes locales prennent une pause jusqu'au 15 août où ils seront présents lors de la journée de la famille. Ne manquez pas la suite de notre programme double demain, le samedi 11 juillet alors que la série ACT-LMS effectuera un 150 tour. Ce programme commandité par Best-Buy pièces d'Autos accueillera aussi l'association Vintage et les voitures STR /Slingshot sans oublier les 3 fois 50 tours en positions inversées de la Série Sportsman Qc Lucas Oil lors du Langis Caron 150.

Les estrades ouvrent à 13h00; on vous y attend !
