Barre, Vt. – Due to an inclement forecast, Thunder Road officials have postponed the Community College of Vermont (CCV) Championship Night that was scheduled for Friday, September 8. The event has been rescheduled for Sunday, September 10 at 2:00pm.

 

It is the third time this year that CCV Night has been postponed due to weather. The event was originally scheduled for June 29.

 

"While the forecasted rain might let off by the evening hours, it is expected to be followed by a combination of cool temperatures and humid conditions," Thunder Road co-owner Cris Michaud said. "As a result, the track conditions will be considerably less than ideal for our drivers, and the viewing conditions will be less than ideal for our fans. With the championships in three divisions on the line, we want to give everyone the best possible situation for racing."

 

CCV Championship Night will be the final point-counting event of the year for the Thunder Road Late Models, Lenny's Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, and Allen Lumber Street Stocks. Extra-distance features will be on the card for all divisions with 65 laps for the Late Models, 50 laps for the Flying Tigers, and 35 laps for the Street Stocks.

 

Qualifying for the final round of the 2017 "King of the Road" championship chase begins at 2:00pm on Sunday, September 10. The pits will open at 10:30am and the front gates will open at 12:15pm. Admission is $12 for adults, $3 for kids ages 6-12, and $25 for a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids).

 

For more information, contact the Thunder Road offices at (802) 244-6963, media@thunderroadvt.com, or visitwww.thunderroadvt.com.

Deux Champions s’affronteront…



COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE

 

Deux Champions s'affronteront…

 

16 Septembre 2017, la grande finale à l'autodrome Chaudière,

 

Le champion « Nascar Sportsman St-Eustache 2017 » fera face au champion « Sportsman Québec 2017 » pour le premier titre de l'histoire de la série « Nascar Late Model Camions Freightliner Québec/Camion Western Star Lévis » à l'autodrome Chaudière ce samedi 16 septembre prochain lors de la journée Habitation Dany Lagacé. Toute une journée de course à prévoir.

 

Pour l'occasion, en plus de la course prévue à l'horaire, il y aura lareprise de la course du 5 août dernier, mais dans un format de 75 tours présenté par Gestion Roy Électrique.

 

Nous aurons donc 2 courses, distinctes, de 75 tours chacune.

 

Wow, toute une fin de saison prévue pour votre plaisir à l'autodrome Chaudière. Ce sera LA JOURNÉE de l'été, à n'en pas douter…

 

Steve Côté #1, est l'actuel meneur au championnat avec 13 points d'avance sur son poursuivant Samuel Charland #41. Saura-t-il conserver ou accroître son avance, lui qui a vu un Charland très bien préparé à la dernière course. Avec 2 épreuves la même journée, tout est possible quand on sait qu'une victoire pourrait donner jusqu'à 41 points.

 

Mais la lutte est tellement serrée entre ces 2 pilotes, que nul ne peut prévoir la suite. Quelques statistiques où il y a égalité un peu partout.

 

Steve Côté et Samuel Charland comptent 8 podiums et 4 victoires chacun.

 

La seule différence se situe au niveau des tops 5 où Côté en compte un de plus, avec 9 en 9 courses. À noter qu'une seule course a échappé à l'un de ces 2 pilotes au cours de la saison jusqu'ici.

 

Alex Labbé, pilote de la série ACT et Pinty's, sera de la partie dans la voiture de l'équipe Larue. Cet ancien champion ACT est aussi en tête de la prestigieuse série Pinty's en ce moment. Il a d'ailleurs terminé en 2e position de la course Pinty's au mois de juin, ici même à l'Autodrome Chaudière. Il ne serait pas surprenant que d'autres pilotes de cette série soient présents ce 16 septembre.

 

Il faudra être sur place pour voir toute cette action pour une dernière fois cette saison !

2 courses, 2 fois 75 tours, 2 fois plus de plaisirs !

 

Soyez-y, toute l'équipe de l'Autodrome Chaudière sera sur place pour vous accueillir.
