Bernier claims first Modified win of 2024 Phinney wins

PLATTSBURGH, NY. -- St. Hyacinthe, Quebec's Steve Bernier dominated Thursday's Be Cool Heating and Air Conditioning 358 Modified Feature at Airborne Park, leading all 30 laps and winning by more than three seconds over Felix Roy. Mike Phinney survived a series of late yellows to win his first J&S Steel Sportsman feature of the year. Other winners on the night included Shawn Duquette (Renegade), Kris Clark (Mini Stock A) and Jamie Whitney, Jr. (Mini Stock B). All winners from Thursday were celebrating their first win of the season.

Bernier started on the pole of his heat race by virtue of a pill draw. The modifieds ran for no points due to other races in the region. Bernier was clearly fast in his qualifier, winning by four seconds over George Foley. A six-car redraw gave Bernier the pole for the feature, and he drove away with the win in the caution-free affair, lapping up to 8th position and closing in on 7th at the end. Flex Roy followed him across the line in 2nd with Justin Stone 3rd. Chris Raabe and Foley rounded out the top-five.

In the sportsman ranks it was Willsboro, NY's Mike Phinney picking up the win. Caleb Durgan started on point and led until lap 21 when Phinney passed him on a restart. Durgan then suffered a flat tire a few laps later and retired to the pits. Phinney held off Joey Scarborough, who started 13th, for two restarts in the final four laps to score the win. Scarborough was 2nd with Travis Bruno 3rd, Evan Roberts 4th and points leader Nick Heywood 5th.

Morrisonville, NY's Shawn Duquette won the 9th State Cannabis Renegade Feature, extending his points lead. Duquette has been a model of consistency in 2024, topping the point standings by finishing every race inside the top-five. He and Highgate, V.T.'s Richie Turner battled side-by-side for virtually the entire 20-lap distance with Turner way up top on the cushion and Duquette down low. Eventually, Turner's ride appeared to fade in the final three laps, allowing Duquette to scoot by on the bottom. Turner buried his car into the final corner on the outside, but could not pass Duquette, settling for 2nd. Josh Terry was 3rd. Nate Guay and Billy Thwaits completed the top-five. Tylor Terry was 6th, driving Tyler Irwin's truck after a mechanical failure in hot laps. The Precision HVAC $50 Hard-Charger Bonus was awarded to Duquette. He went from 6th to 1st, passing five cars.

The Moore Recycling Mini Stock A-Main was won by Keeseville, NY's Kris Clark. Clark started 13th while Jason Bradley and Kyle Botala enjoyed the front row. Bradley led initially with Botala in tow, but eventually broke and headed pit-side. From there, Glenn Engstrom took over the top spot, holding it until lap seven when Clark assumed control of the pack. Josh Blake, Cale Manor and Josh LaPorte, Sr., all tried to track down Clark, but their efforts were not fruitful, and Clark cruised to his first win of the year. Blake was 2nd with Manor 3rd for his best run of the year. LaPorte was 4th and Engstrom finished 5th. Jamie Whitney Jr. won the B-Feature. Rick Doner surrendered the points lead after a flip in his heat race, but issues in the A-Main for other contenders like Ryan Senecal, Ken Tourville and the Bresette cousins made Doner's loss minimal, he trails Senecal now by four points.

Airborne Park Speedway returns to racing with 'Thursday Night Thunder' on July 25. The American Racer North series makes its way to Plattsburgh with a 60-lap, $3,000USD-to-win feature for the 358 modifieds. Hoosier Tires are permitted for this event, which will pit Airborne Park's best regulars like Mike Mahaney and Tim Fuller against some of Canada's best 358 drivers like Ryan Arbuthnot and David Hebert. Pit gates open at 4PM with racing at 7!

In the fender cars, Tylor Terry has some work to do to cut into Shawn Duquette's 28-point advantage in the renegades. Duquette has yet to finish outside the top-five this season.

Ryan Senecal leads the Moore Recycling Mini-Stock standings by four markers over Clintonville's Rick Doner, who endured a nasty roll last week.

Camirand entâme la tournée dans l'Ouest avec une victoire au Sutherland Automotive Speedway

Saskatoon (SK), le 21 juillet 2024 - Marc-Antoine Camirand a remporté sa deuxième victoire consécutive et sa troisième de la saison lors du Leland Industries 250 au Sutherland Automotive Speedway ce samedi. Camirand a tenu tête à Kevin Lacroix et Andrew Ranger, renforçant ainsi son avance au classement du championnat.

Quatorze pilotes se sont affrontés sous une chaleur intense tout au long de la journée et jusqu'à la tombée de la nuit. Camirand, au volant de la Chevrolet #96 GM Paillé, a commencé fort en décrochant le E3 Spark Plugs Pole Award avec un temps de 14.915. Lacroix, dans la Dodge #74 Quick Strut/NAPA Racing, était juste derrière, à seulement 0.045 de seconde.

Dès le départ de l'épreuve, Camirand, Ranger et Lacroix se sont échappés du peloton, créant un écart. Camirand et Lacroix ont couru côte à côte pendant quelques tours, annonçant des batailles excitantes à venir.

Ce fut une journée émotive pour le vétéran de la série, Mark Dilley, qui a effectué son dernier départ en carrière au volant de la Chevrolet #64 Leland Industries/NTN. Cependant, un problème mécanique a mis fin à sa course au 71e tour après avoir lutté dans le Top 5 en début de course.

Quelques belles batailles ont eu lieu à travers le peloton. Par exemple, la Chevrolet #3 ASSA ABLOY/Leland Industries pilotée par Jason Hathaway a mis de la pression sur Lacroix pour la troisième place avant la mi-course. Ranger a mené jusqu'à la pause de mi-course, décrochant le Freshstone Midway Leader Award.

Plusieurs voitures ont connu des ennuis dans la deuxième moitié de l'épreuve. C'est le cas de Thomas Nepveu, dans la Ford #24 Home Hardware/Richelieu/Cromwell, qui a abandonné au 161e tour en raison d'un surchauffage. l'Albertain Jamie Krzysik a également été contraint à l'abandon du à des problèmes de suspension, alors qu'il était au volant de voiture #46 Krown-Pel Ventures/BerMar Rewind/Da-Roc.

Donald Theetge, qui avait réalisé le meilleur temps lors des essais, a fait un tête-à-queue au 179e tour, provoquant une autre neutralisation. Lors de la relance, Lacroix a dépassé Ranger pour prendre la tête du peloton, tandis que Camirand se tenait en troisième position. Camirand a remonté pour mettre au défi Lacroix pour la première place à 24 tours du drapeau à damier. Après une bataille intense, Camirand s'est imposé en première position et y est resté jusqu'à la fin de la course.

« C'est une belle victoire ici à Saskatoon, nous avions une bonne voiture,» a déclaré Camirand depuis le cercle des vainqueurs Evirum. « La première moitié de la course s'est bien passée. Après cela, la voiture a commencé à devenir difficile. Nous avons fait un ajustement à la pause de mi-course, et avec 15 tours à faire, la voiture était vraiment bonne et j'ai pu dépasser la #74. Je suis très fier de mon équipe; c'est une excellente façon de commencer le voyage dans l'ouest.»

Lacroix, qui est arrivé deuxième, a avoué que « c'était une belle course. Nous n'avions pas la meilleure voiture, mais nous nous sommes battus de la 4e place à la 1ère position. Je pense que la meilleure voiture a gagné aujourd'hui, donc je suis heureux de partir avec une deuxième place. J'ai toujours eu de la difficulté à Sutherland, et je n'ai jamais gagné à Edmonton à cause de malchances. Je m'en vais là-bas avec beaucoup de confiance, je pense que nous pourrons espérer la victoire. »

Ranger a assuré la troisième place, offrant ainsi un autre Top 3 pour les deux voitures de l'équipe Paillé Racing. « Ça a été une très bonne course, » a-t-il déclaré. « Les premiers 150 tours nous avions une voiture très rapide et nous étions capables de mener des tours et la voiture était parfaite. Malheureusement je n'étais pas capable de tenir ma cadence dans les derniers 150 tours, mais la voiture GM Paillé était rapide et je suis très content, nous avons fait un beau podium. »

L'avance de Camirand au championnat s'étend désormais à 297 points, soit sept points devant Ranger, avec Lacroix, L.P. Dumoulin, et Hathaway complétant le Top 5 au classement.

Dumoulin, dans la Dodge #47 WeatherTech/OmniFab, a terminé quatrième, remportant le prix du Newfoundland Tourism Move of the Race pour être passés de la 11e place à la quatrième position. Jason Hathaway a fait un retour solide dans l'Ouest canadien au volant de la Chevrolet #3 ASSA ABLOY/Leland Industries, en terminant cinquième.

D.K. Kennington, dans la Dodge #17 Castrol Edge/Brimstone Games/CIM Metals, a terminé sixième. Donald Theetge a terminé huitième, avec deux tours derrière après avoir fait un tête à queue plus tôt dans la course. Glenn Styres, dans la Chevrolet #0 GSR/Ohsweken Speedway/Chantarellie, a terminé neuvième, suivi de Larry Jackson dans la Dodge #84 Big Chief Snacks/E3/O'Neil Electric/Duma, et Shantel Kalika a complété le Top 10.

La série NASCAR Canada poursuit sa tournée dans l'ouest avec l'arrêt annuel à l'Edmonton International Raceway à Wetaskiwin, en Alberta, pour le prochain événement le 27 juillet prochain.

Heywood comes up big for holiday paycheck, Horning edges Lalonde in pro-stocks

PLATTSBURGH, Ny. -- Plattsburgh's own Nick Heywood won Wednesday' "Firecracker 44" for the J&S Steel Sportsman, holding off Gabe Cyr and Codie Aubin in the final laps to claim his second win of 2024, good for $2,000, and extending his point lead. Gloversville, NY's Luke Horning picked up a $1,000 pro-stock win over Marc Lalonde in a race for the ages. Cousins Speedy and Steven Bresette won both mini-stock A mains and Tylor Terry picked up his third renegade win of the year. It all went down in front of a jam-packed house, that was treated to beautiful weather and an insane, 20-minute fireworks display.

Vince Quenneville and Bucko Branham led the 30-car field to the green flag with Quenneville pulling away from Branham. Heywood started 6th and was making his way forward along with Joey Scarborough and Chelsea, Q.C. invader Cedric Gauvreau. The race changed dramatically around lap 10, when Scarborough and Gauvreau tangled, sending Gauvreau around. Heywood made contact with the spinning Gauvreau, but continued. Mike Phinney also was collected, ending his night.

Quenneville was still looking strong, but Heywood restarted 3rd and was joined by Gabe Cyr and Donovan Lussier, who started 8th and 10th, respectively. Branham slipped back on the restart, and Heywood launched into 2nd, trying to track down Quenneville, passing him on lap 14 for the lead.

With Heywood pulling away, Quenneville sat solidly in 2nd, until lap 32 contact with the frontstretch wall broke something on the right rear corner of car no. 78, sending it to the pits. That promoted Cyr to 2nd position and Aubin to 3rd.

Heywood was tasked with holding them off for a green-white-checkered restart, and did so handily, cruising off into the night with the $2,000 win. Cyr and Aubin joined him on the podium. Dave Camara was 4th with Donovan Lussier 5th. Beau Reeves, Travis Bruno, Max Dolliver, Michael Wright and George Foley completed the top-10. Foley started 29th, passing 19 cars in all.

Luke Horning won the 25-lap pro-stock feature over Marc Lalonde and Denis Gauvreau. Horning and Burton Ward shared the front row, each winning a heat race with Horning jumping out front. An early caution involving Kyle Hoard, Zack Daniels and Anthony Mossow halted the action in the early going, followed by yellows for Eric Jean-Louis and Billy Thwaits in the next few laps.

From there, it was smooth sailing for all, with Horning gradually pulling away from Lalonde, until the slower car of Keegan Stowell hung up Horning, allowing Lalonde to scoot by. Horning worked hard on the outside while Lalonde held firm the bottom line. Horning pulled alongside him in the final circuits, and the pair leaned on each other slightly in the final corner, with Horning winning by a fraction of a second– just a few inches– at the line. Gauvreau was 3rd with Jay Fitzgerald running 4th and Burton Ward completing the top-five.

Morrisonville, Ny.'s Tylor Terry won his third 9th Stat Cannabis Renegade feature of 2024, outlasting points leader Shawn Duquette. Robert Foley and Travis Stokes had the front row for the 25-lap feature with Stokes leading the first two laps. Things went bad on lap 3, as Josh Terry appeared to break something, slamming the frontstretch wall, collecting Nate Guay, neither returned.

Upon the restart, Hunter Sawyer put his bright yellow Chevy truck out front for a lap, but Tylor Terry surged around him and Travis Stokes in short order. Shawn Duquette moved into 2nd on lap five, going by Sawyer. He paced Terry closely through append traffic, nearly squeaking by on a few occasions, but Terry was strong to the challenge, good for his third win of 2024. Duquette was 2nd with Billy Thwaits 3rd. Zack Daniels and Richie Turner completed the top-five.

The Moore Recycling Mini Stocks ran a pair of A-mains, splitting the 35+ car field into two groups, lined up by handicapping. Each race paid full A-main purse and points and was 20 laps in distance.

Speedy Bresette started 11th, passing Glenn Engstrom on just lap four after a series of early cautions. Bresette was unchallenged for the remainder of the race. Kenny Tourville came up through to finish 2nd with Engstrom 3rd. Tyler Warren and Brett Manor rounded out the top-five.

In the second feature, Steven Bresette started 9th and took the lead from Cale Manor, also on lap four. Steven Bresette had to work in the closing laps, fending off a hard-charging Rick
Doner and Caleb Tourville, who finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Ryan Senecal and Josh Blake were 4th and 5th.

The first scheduled enduro of 2024 was rained out at the end of the night. Drivers who paid to enter will have their entry honored for the Saturday, August 10 enduro. Drivers who cannot make it on August 10 will have their entry fee refunded.

Airborne Park Speedway is off Thursday, Jul 11. Racing will return to the North Country on Thursday, July 18 with bicycle races for the kids and the drivers! General admission is $15, kids 12 and under are always free. Pit admission is $28 for members and $38 for non-members. Racing starts at 7PM!
