Ranger Right At Home In ICAR Victory Lane

Collects Third Straight Win On Quebec Road Course

 

MIRABEL, Que. (July 6, 2014) – Andrew Ranger is pretty close to unstoppable at Circuit ICAR.

 

The two-time champion of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 led the final nine laps Sunday to take the checkered flag in the Jiffy Lube 100 presented by La Petite Bretonne.

 

It was Rangers' third straight win at the 2.113-mile, 16-turn road course on the grounds of Montreal-Mirabel International Airport. And it was Rangers' 18th career win; 15 of which have come on road courses.

 

Ranger took the lead from Alex Guenettte on Lap 21 and wound up beating last year's series rookie of the year to the line by 3.682 seconds.

 

L.P. Dumoulin finished third, followed by rookie Alex Labbe and Alex Tagliani.

 

J.R. Fitzpatrick, Scott Steckly, rookie Gary Klutt, Jason Hathaway and Peter Klutt rounded out the top 10.

 

Fitzpatrick maintains the edge in the season standings after three races, two tallies ahead of Dumoulin and 14 ahead of D.J. Kennington, who finished 12th Sunday.

 

The Jiffy Lube 100 will air on TSN on Sunday, July 13 at 11 a.m., and on the French-language RDS on Thursday, July 17 at 9:30 p.m.

 

The Canadian Tire Series' next race will be contested on July 11 with the inaugural Alberta Has Energy 300 at Edmonton International Raceway in Wetaskiwin, Alberta.
