FW: Revstar a le plaisir d'accueillir un nouveau pilote

Jean-Nicolas Gareau de St-Zotique vient de faire l'acquisition d'un bolide STR pour se joindre au championnat de la série Revstar ABF

Âgé de 22 ans, le jeune pilote a déjà compétitionné en VTT sur le Dirt et sur la glace, mais il a toujours été attiré davantage par le Stock-Car, une discipline qu'il croyait cependant inabordable.

Depuis le lancement de la série Revstar, il était intrigué par ces bolides, mais il voulait voir comment cette nouvelle série allait se développer et s'implanter au Québec avant de s'y intéresser. Maintenant il est rassuré et il constate que la série Revstar a vraiment pris sa place dans le monde du Stock Car et que ce championnat est en bonne santé et hautement compétitif.

D'ailleurs, lorsque Revstar avait lancé son concours "Gagnez une Ride" Jean-Nicolas s'était empressé de s'inscrire dans l'espoir de pouvoir essayer un des ces bolides, malheureusement il n'a pas remporté le concours, mais son désir de piloter un bolide Revstar était toujours aussi présent.

Récemment, Jean-Nicolas a accompagné son ami, le pilote recru Gabriel Richer lors d'un programme de course. Voyant tout le plaisir que son ami éprouvait au volant d'un Revstar, Jean-Nicolas était plus que jamais convaincu qu'il devait en faire l'essai. Après quelques démarches auprès des dirigeants de la série, Jean-Nicolas obtient un volant pour participer à son premier week-end de course le 30 mai dernier à Conrwall sur la piste de terre battue qui est située à proximité de chez lui. Dès le début, Jean-Nicolas s'adapte rapidement, on note une progression à chacune de ses sorties en piste. Lors de la finale, il avait réussi à hausser le rythme pour se maintenir dans le milieu du peloton. Après cette expérience très concluante, le jeune pilote avait définitivement la piqûre !

Plus abordable qu'il le croyait, Revstar représente pour lui une opportunité unique de pouvoir évoluer en Stock Car, tant sur terre battue que sur les piste d'asphalte.

Jean-Nicolas a maintenant passé sa commande, il recevra son bolide dans quelques semaines. Sa nouvelle acquisition va arborer les couleurs de son commanditaire, NRJ Environnement routier.

Depuis plus de 40 ans, le groupe Environnement Routier NRJ inc. a toujours su s'adapter aux situations et aux exigences du milieu en matière de construction et d'entretien.

Dès le début, spécialisée dans les travaux d'aqueduc et d'égout, l'entreprise s'est depuis développée, toujours dans le but de répondre aux nouveaux besoins de sa clientèle.

Environnement Routier NRJ a un chiffre d'affaire d'environ 20 millions de dollars annuellement et le nombre de ses employés varie de 100 à 200 selon les saisons.

Cette entreprise vise à offrir une gamme diversifiée de service de manière à répondre à l'ensemble des besoins de sa clientèle cible : LES MUNICIPALITÉS.

En attendant la livraison de son bolide
Le jeune pilotes est anxieux de retourner en piste et pour lui permettre d'acquérir rapidement de l'expérience, la série Revstar mettra à sa disposition un bolide STR pour les deux prochaines épreuves au calendrier, soient celle du 26 juin à St-Félicien et à St-Eustache le 3 juillet, ensuite il sera aux commandes de son propre véhicule.

Talentueux et au tempérament fougueux, ce jeune pilote deviendra un sérieux prétendant à la victoire, nous lui souhaitons la bienvenue dans la série Revstar.

Pro All Stars Series news: PASS North Unity Raceway preview

For Immediate Release: Media contact Norm Desjardins

PASS Celebrates Fathers Day with a Unity Triple Header

NAPLES ME (6/16) All three PASS North racing series are back on track this Sunday June 20 at Unity (ME) Raceway, a favorite stop for the Pro All Stars Series’ drivers and fans.

The speedway is a throwback to an earlier time when race tracks were a little rough around the edges. The covered grandstand from a bygone era remains and when drivers stray off the asphalt they can easily find themselves atop a sand bank or in a trackside ditch. But the racing surface, dips, bumps and all, breeds some of the best side by side racing you’ll find anywhere and hardcore race fans never miss a PASS appearance

Unity is also a favorite of Johnny Clark’s, which could spell bad news for the rest of the field. Clark has a mini win streak going with victories at White Mountain Motorsports Park and Speedway 660.The defending series champ will be going all out to make it three in a row in his drive for five series titles.

It won’t be a walk in the park for Clark. There’s always plenty of competition when the Pro All Stars come to town. Randy Turner cut his racing teeth at Unity and last season the home town hero toppled the touring regulars, earning his first PASS North race win. He’ll look for two in a row Sunday in the Fathers’ Day 150. Ben Rowe, Adam Bates, Scott Chubbuck, Scott Alexander, Travis Benjamin, Trevor Sanborn, Gary Smith, Cassius Clark and Kelly Moore are all looking for their first win of the young season. Bill Penfold will make his first PASS start in quite some time, and Shane Lane will be making his first PASS appearance of 2010. Quebec’s Alexandre Gingras. Rookie candidate Joey Doiron, Donnie Whitten and Nick Ribbe are all pre-entered.as well.

The excitement doesn’t end with the Father’s Day 150. Both the PASS Sportsman and Mod series are on the card with a 75 lap go for the Sportsman and 40 rounds for the Mods. In the Sportsman ranks Clyde Hennessey and defending series champ Carey Martin each have a win under their belt and you can bet that Mike Landry, Dan Mckeage, Shane Tatro and Billy Childs will give that pair all they can handle.

The PASS Mods have run a single race, won by multi-time series champ Chris Staples. Staples put his Super Late Model ride on its’ roof at Unity but he’ll look to heap the shiny side up on his way to victory lane Sunday. Expect a full field of PASS Mod regulars to try and deny Staples.

The NELCAR Legends round out a four division card guaranteed to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Practice goes green at 11:30 AM Sunday and the first heat gets the green at 3:00 PM sharp.

Unity Raceway is online at www.unityraceway.info . The latest news, standings and results for all PASS racing series can be found at www.proallstarsseries.com .

LKQ Pintendre Autos 150 à l'Autodrome Chaudière

L’ÉQUIPE LAPERLE PÉNALISÉE

Pour diffusion immédiate

Faisant suite aux malencontreux incidents survenus à la ligne d’arrivée à l’issue du LKQ Pintendre 150 qui a été disputé, samedi après-midi à l’Autodrome Chaudière, l’équipe Laperle a été pénalisée pour les agissements de l’un de ses membres.

LAPERLE TEAM FINED FOR VICTORY LANE ALTERCATION

LAPERLE AND THEETGE BOTH PLACED ON PROBATION

For Immediate Release

ACT – 061410-37

Waterbury, VT – The American Canadian Tour (ACT) announced today that the Patrick Laperle team has received a fine for a post-race incident in victory lane following the 150-lap event held at the Autodrome Chaudiere in Vallee Jonction, QC this past Saturday, June 12.

Cette mesure disciplinaire est le résultat d’une bataille plus qu’agressive entre Donald Theetge de Québec, le champion en titre, et Patrick Laperle, tout au long de cette troisième manche de cette série ACT-Castrol Edge.

Finalement, en raison de cette lutte acharnée, le Félicinois Karl Allard a su tirer avantage de la situation pour remporter son premier succès dans cette série ACT-Castrol Edge. Ce dernier est passé à l’intérieur des deux belligérants qui se touchaient à qui mieux mieux.

Par la suite, une confrontation verbale est survenue lorsque Laperle est sorti de sa voiture et s’approchait de celle de Theetge. Là un incident est survenu entre un membre de l’équipe Laperle et Theetge alors que ce dernier se dirigeait vers le podium. Selon les procédures de mesures disciplinaires de l’ACT, le pilote est responsable de son équipe. Celle-ci devra verser une amende de 500 $.

En raison de l’inconduite de ces deux équipes dans le cercle des vainqueurs, celles-ci ont été mises sous probation pour le reste de la saison 2010. Elles ont été informées qu’un écart de conduite lors des prochaines épreuves serait sanctionné par une suspension accompagnée de d’autres pénalités.

Laperle demeure donc au premier rang de cette série ACT-Castrol Edge qui se poursuivra, samedi, au circuit Ste-Croix/Riverside Speedway. Un tracé ultra rapide de 5/8^e de mille qui a subi des transformations majeures.

Voici le résultat officiel :

The disciplinary penalty resulted after Laperle, from Montreal, and Donald Theetge, from Quebec City, staged a furious battle for the win in the event which was postponed from the previous night due to an electrical black out. This necessitated running the race on Saturday at noon.

As a result of the constant battle between Theetge and Laperle during the final laps of the event, Karl Allard from Ste. Felicien, QC was able to take advantage of the intense battle. Allard made a three-wide pass underneath the pair as they banged and beat each other down the narrow front stretch at the ¼ mile bullring. Allard went on to win, with Theetge finishing in second. Laperle finished third.

After a verbal confrontation when Laperle exited his car and approached Theetge, an incident occurred between one of the Laperle crew members and Theetge, as Theetge was heading to the podium. Under the ACT disciplinary rules and procedures the driver is responsible for his crew. The Laperle team has been assessed a fine of $500.00.

Because of the behavior of both crews in victory lane, the Laperle and Theetge teams have both been placed on probation for the remainder of the 2010 season. They have been informed that any disciplinary issues during the remainder of the race season will result in immediate suspension and other penalties.

Laperle retains a strong point lead on the ACT Serie Castrol EDGE heading to the new Riverside Speedway at Ste. Croix, QC this Saturday night. The very fast and newly paved 5/8th mile facility has undergone a major renovation this Spring. Post time is 5:00pm.

Allard gagne. Contreverse @ Chaudiere.

Karl Allard à mis fin à la série de podiums consécutifs par par Patrick Laperle à deux. Toute fois les cérémonies de fin de course ont été perturbées par des échanges entre Donald Theetge et des équipiers de Patrick Laperle qui ont respectivement terminer 2^e et 3e.

Karl Allard put an end to Patrick Laperle’s consecutive win streak at two. Nevertheless post race celebrations were perturbed by shoving between Donald Theetge and Patrick Laperle crew members who respectively finished 2^nd and 3^rd.

De part et autres, ils s’accusent d’avoir mal menés sont rival lors des ralentissements et des relances, plus particulièrement à la dernière relance, avec 19 tours à faire.

« J’ai pris la tête au 59e passage, après avoir dépassé 19 voitures devant moi [NDLR : Laperle a prit le départ en 20^e place, tandis que Theetge s’est élancé de la 12e position] sans même en avoir bousculer une voiture. Quand à Theetge, il a frappé presque chacune des voitures qui ont pris le départ. Je l’ai vu bousculé Déry, Allard et PL Ouellet entre autre. Il ma bousculer à 3 reprises, tellement fort que ma voiture est partie en glissade, frisant la catastrophe à chaque fois. Il a reçu à deux reprises le Piggy-flag et s’est vu pointé le noir deux fois. Le signaleur est même allé lui parlé sur la piste. Avant l’incident avec, j’avais même pas un donut sur le côté de ma voiture. À la dernière relance, il ma tellement bûché dans les roues que cela a endommagé ma roue. J’ai donc fini avec une crevaison lente et cela ma privé d’une 3e victoire consécutive » dénonça Laperle une fois retourné dans les puits.

Mutually accusing each other of having raced each other dirty during cautions and on restarts, more specifically on the last one with 19 laps to go.

“I took the lead on the 59^thcircuit, after having passed 19 cars who started in front of me [NDLR: Laperle started 20^th, while Theetge took the green flag from 12^th position] without touching a single car. I saw Theetge bump Dery, Allard, PL Ouellet. He bumped Déry, Allard and PL Ouellet amongst others. He bumped me hard on 3 occasions, sending me in a slide and almost spinning me around in front of the field. He got the piggy-flag twice, was pointed with the black flag twice. The flagman even went down on the track to speak with him. Until the incident I didn’t even have a donut on the side of my car. On the last restart, he hit me in the wheels so hard it broke the wheel and forced me to finish on a slow leak. It took away another podium, a third consecutive one” said Laperle once back in the pits.

Quand Theetge et Laperle se sont bousculés Karl Allard en a profité pour se glisser en tête. Parti de la 16e position, il a même dû visiter les puits en début de l’épreuve pour effectuer quelques réparations mineurs à l’avant de sont bolide, des dommages subit bien malgré lui quand il n’a pu s’immobiliser sans toucher aux deux voitures qui étaient en dérapage en début d’épreuve.

Allard n’a pas volé la victoire. Il a été patient, a remonté le peloton et avait une bonne voiture en fin de course.

When Theetge and Laperle went at it, Karl Allard took advantage of it and took over the lead. He started in the 16^th starting position and had to visit the pits early on when he had to retreat to get repairs done to the front of his race car. He sustained the damage when he could not stop fast enough when two cars got together in an early race incident.

Allard did not steal the race. He was patient, passed every one of the cars and was very fast at the end.

Cette victoire met fin à une disette remontant à l’été 2008, alors qu’il avait triomphé sur ce même tracé, qu’est celui de l’autodrome Chaudière. Allard devient ainsi le 6^e pilote qualifié, il se joint à Laperle, pour l’épreuve invitation qui sera disputée à Loudon en septembre.

« Nous avions une bonne voiture. J’ai pris mon temps et conservé les pneus. Nu été de l’incident ou j’ai frappé les voitures stationnées la voiture n’aurait pas une scratch » commenta Allard.

[NDLR : Après l’épreuve Allard a cabossé sont toit lorsqu’il est grimpé dessus pour célébrer]

This win is the first in two years for Allard who had last won at Autodrome Chaudiere. Allard becomes the 6^th qualified driver, and joins Laperle, for the Invitational race to be held at Loudon in September.

“We had a great car. We took our time, managed our tires. If it wasn’t for when I hit the parked cars the cars wouldn’t have scratch” commented a very happy Allard.

[NDLR: After the event Allard dented the roof when he climbed on it as part of his celebration]

Belle performance de Pier-Luc Ouellet pilotant le voiture d’écurie de Paul Michaud, qui a signé un premier top 4 en carrière LMS et c’est même permit de mener 22 passages ( 39 à 57 tours ).

Terminant en 5^e position, Jean-François Déry semblait parti pour terminer 4^e, mais avec quelques tours à faire et la circulation lente, il a vu Ouellet avoir le dessus sur lui.

Great run by rookie and karting Champion Pier-Luc Ouellet, who drove the Paul Michaud car, who crossed the line fourth. His best career finish in a Late Model. He also lead 22 laps (39th to 57th lap).

Finishing 5th is Jean-François Dery who seemed to be en route to finish 4^th, but late in the race and in traffic Ouellet got around him.

Dans le dernier tour, la jeune recrue Alex Labbé et Daniel Decoste se sont touchés, un bête incident de course selon les deux pilotes, qui à privé Labbé d’une 6e place au classement, il terminera l’épreuve avec un tour de retard. « Daniel est venu me voir après, il s’est excusé. Il a fermé sur moi m’envoyant en tête-à-queue » déclara le jeune Labbé. La course a terminé avec le Jaune-et-damiers.

L’autre recrue Jimmy Cormier a mené ses premier tour de piste en finale, menant 13 passages, avant de se faire bousculer à son tours par le vétéran Yvon Bédard.

L’épreuve final de 150 tours qui devait être disputée samedi dernier le 5 juin, avait été reportée une première fois dû aux caprices de Dame-Nature et une deuxième fois hier, vendredi, alors qu’un transformateur électrique d’Hydro-Québec, alimentant les lumières de la piste a explosé.

Les préliminaires disputés hier, ont été remportées par la recrue Marco Savoie, Patrick Hamel, Daniel Decoste. La consolation a été remportée tant qu’à elle par Etienne Lemay.

L’incident Theetge-Laperle aura des conséquences sur le classement de l’épreuve selon Tina Gallison : « Seul Karl Allard est confirmé gagnant à la suite des inspections. Le classement sera disponible lundi à la suite de l’attribution de pénalités ».

La prochaine manche de la Série ACT Castrol Edge sera disputé samedi prochain au Circuit Riverside/Ste-Croix.

In the last lap, 16 year old rookie Alex Labbé and Daniel Decoste touched in turn four, a racing incident according to both drivers, sending Labbé in a spin and preventing him from finishing sixth and on the lead lap. “Daniel came to see me after the race, he was sorry. He pinched me down and sent me into a spin” said the Labbé. The race ended with Yellow-and-checkers.

The other rookie, Jimmy Cormier, also lead his first laps, 13 of them, before being knocked out of the lead by veteran driver Yvon Bedard.

The 150 lap event was first scheduled to be ran on June 5^th, but was postponed due to rain and was once again postponed, yesterday, because of a power outage when the electric transformer providing power to track lights blew up.

Qualifying races were won by Marco Savoie, Patrick Hamel, Daniel Decoste. The consi was won by Etienne Lemay.

The Theetge-Laperle incident will have consequences on the race’s finish as per Tina Gallison: “Only Allard is official. Other positions are pending penalties and will be posted on Monday”.

The next race on the ACT Castrol Edge race will be ran next Saturday at Circuit Riverside/Ste-Croix.
