Cranking Up the Season’s Hottest Action at Peterborough Speedway

 

Cranking Up the Season's Hottest Action at Peterborough Speedway

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 

With summer's arrival just around the corner, the year's biggest shows at Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved are still to come.

 

Things are starting to heat-up and multiple wins, combined with some competitive runs have the early-season point chases in each of Peterborough Speedway's weekly racing divisions are tighter than ever. Drivers are looking to gain any advantage possible that could lead their team to the 2016 track championship. Track owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse says it's a great time to be a fan at the tight, tricky bullring on Mount Pleasant Road, west of the Liftlock City.

 

"We've had several caution-free main events and 30 lap feature races decided by the length of a front bumper," said Josiasse. "From week-to-week, there's no telling who might be the next participant to find their way to Dart Heating & Air Conditioning victory lane. New fan favourites are emerging as each lap clicks off the scoreboard and the pack battles for the checkered flag."

 

Don't miss your chance to see what all the excitement is about as the INEX Ontario Legends Series joins the Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun, Paul Davis Systems Thunder Car and Earl Ireland Auto Sales Late Model divisions Saturday, June 18th.

 

Looking ahead on the schedule finds the annual Autism Awareness Night – Saturday, June 25th – with the Can Am TQ Midgets, Jiffy Lube Mini Stock, Renegade Truck, Late Model and Legends classes, with Kid's Barrel Races at intermission. For each event, pit gates will open at 3:00 with the spectator areas unlocked at 5:00 and the night's first qualifying heat at 6:00.

 

Full schedule details, along with up to the minute news and results are always available at www.peterboroughspeedway.com, by liking the track on Facebook or following it on Twitter. You can also download the free Peterborough Speedway app on your Smartphone.

Tagliani se joint à la liste relevée de pilotes





     

Communiqué pour diffusion immédiate

Le 14 juin 2016, Vallée-Jonction

Tagliani se joint à la liste relevée de pilotes

Après les frères Dumoulin, Alex Labbé et Andrew Ranger, c'est une fierté de pouvoir compter parmi nous lors du programme de ce weekend à l'Autodrome ChaudièreVallée-Jonction le pilote vétéran #18 Alex Tagliani. 

Faisant ses débuts en karting de 1987 à 1994, celui que l'on surnomme affectueusement « Tag » accède rapidement aux classes supérieures. D'abord en Formule Ford 1600 ainsi qu'en Formule Atlantic où il obtient plusieurs victoires ce qui le fait terminer en 3e position en 1997. 

En 2000, Tag accède au Champ Car au sein de l'écurie Player's Forsythe. Dès ses débuts, il s'affirme comme un étant un des pilotes les plus prometteurs de la série. Après avoir fait plusieurs coups d'éclat, mais ne parvenant pas à atteindre le podium, c'est en 2004, lors de l'épreuve Road America qu'il décroche sa toute première victoire en Champ Car (CART) alors qu'il évolue au sein de l'écurie Rocketsports. 

En 2007 il débute dans la série Nascar Canadian Tire avec Jacombs Racing et ce pendant 2 ans. Sur 25 départs, il obtiendra 9 top10, 5 pôles et 1 victoire. 

Alex Tagliani n'a plus de preuves à faire dans le Stock Car et ce sera un privilège de le compter par nous ce samedi alors que nombreux seront les pilotes en piste à se battre pour la victoire. 

Vous avez vous procurer vos billets en prévente en communiquant avec André Poulin au 581-998-7388.

Stephane Lemire Captures DIRTcar N.E. Pro Stock Series Season Opener at Granby

Stephane Lemire Captures DIRTcar N.E. Pro Stock Series Season Opener at Granby

Posted: 13 Jun 2016 10:55 AM PDT

By Martin Bélanger

GRANBY, Que. – June 10, 2016 –

GRANBY, Que. – June 10, 2016 – Autodrome Granby kicked off the 2016 DIRTcar Northeast Pro Stock Series schedule as local standout Stephane Lemire was a man on a mission as he led most of the race capturing the first event of the season in the series.

Francois Adam and Stephane Lemire were on the front row of the 33-car starting grid for the 47-lap event, Lemire was the early leader as Adam was on his back bumper with Jocelyn Roy in third. A good battle for the lead was occurring as Guy Viens took third spot as PJ Peters caused the first caution on lap 6 with a left rear flat tire.

Lemire remained in the lead for three more laps as Bruno Cyr slowed in the backstretch slowing the field down. On the start, Adam took the lead away from Lemire as defending series champion Dave Bissonnette was now in the mix. The Cornwall, Ontario-resident used the outside lane and was challenging Lemire for second with 15 laps in the books.

Lemire was strong on the inside and caught up to the leader as both cars ran side-by-side with Lemire back in the front spot just before Jeffrey Lapalme spun out in turn 4 with 27 laps to go.

Lemire drove his No. 115 car to the lead with Adam, Bissonnette, Rock Aubin and Stephane Lebrun behind him at the halfway point. Bissonnette was comfortable using the high lane and was running side-by-side with Adam for second as Lapalme slowed the field with 28 laps in the record book.

Lemire kept the first position as the battle continued for second between Adam and Bissonnette. A restart saw contender Alain Brochu hit the inside wall with only a dozen laps to go.

Bissonnette used the outside groove to take second from Adam on lap 39 while Bruno Cyr spun out in turn four with 6 laps to go.

Lemire led the final laps and captured the feature over Francois Adam and Dave Bissonnette on the podium.

''My car stuck to inside for the whole race'' Lemire said in the winner circle. ''I almost opted for the outside of the final restart but I saw Bissonnette and decided to stay in and it paid off!''

The DIRTcar Pro Stock series returns to action in Western New York for a doubleheader at Albany Saratoga and Lebanon Valley Speedway on July 22 and 23.

The 358 Modifieds made their return to Airborne Park Speedway with 26 machines taking the green flag for the 75 lap main event.

A lap-62 restart saw Mooers driver, Chris Cayea, in the top spot, having to hold off Sportsman Modified challenger, Nick Heywood. Cayea was able to lead the final 26 laps, en route to victory. Heywood pulled to wheels of Cayea three times, but couldn't get enough power to drive around.

St. Albans driver, Aaron Bartemy took the early lead and led until a caution on lap-48. That lap-48 caution was for Bartemy, as his left rear wheel snapped off the B3 machine and spun him around off the top of turn two. 
The top five was completed by Bloomingdale's Matt Woodruff, Saranac Lake's George Foley and Jake Branham of Plattsburgh. St. Remi Quebec's Roger Labreche, Woodruff and Foley were all heat race winners.
The Jeffords Steel Renegade division ran it's longest distance race of the season to this point. A lap-47 restart had Milton's Robert Gordon in the lead with Essex driver Josh Terry in second. Gordon restarted on the inside with Terry on the top, and Terry drove to the lead for good on the outside. Gordon, Richie Turner, Zach Rabtoy and Jon Boutin rounded out the top five.
The Busch Beer Mini Mod feature saw Mooers driver, Dale O'Neil take the lead early and never look back. Peru's Josh LaPorte worked around Keeseville's Tim LaFountain with two laps to go for the second spot. LaFountain, Robert Foley and Eddie Bresette completed the top five.
