La saison 2017 est débutée à l’Autodrome Chaudière

La saison 2017 est débutée à l'Autodrome Chaudière

C'est samedi dernier que tous les yeux du Stock-Car québécois étaient rivés sur le premier programme de la 25e saison de l'Autodrome Chaudière pour le début de la toute nouvelle série NASCAR Late Model alors que 15 bolides étaient de la ligne de départ.
 
Les amateurs présents ont eu droit à une présentation spéciale des pilotes de la série NASCAR Late Model alors qu'ils se sont présentés à la foule dans différents pick-up de Kennebec Dodge Chrysler et chacun des 8 qualifiés a pigé sa position sur la grille de départ devant la foule.  L'organisation a également tenu une minute de silence en l'honneur de Tom Curley, décédé récemment.

Pour cette soirée de première, toutes les classes locales de la série NASCAR Whelen All American Series étaient en action lors du premier programme de la saison présentée par Kennebec Dodge Chrysler.
 

Voici le podium de chacune des classes :


NASCAR Late Model Freightliner Québec/Western Star Lévis
1. Samuel Charland #41
2. Steve Côté #1
3. Patrick Boyer #13

NASCAR Semi-Pro Excavation AD Roy
1. Yves Perreault #48
2. Jonny Vachon #11
3. Vincent Vachon #83

NASCAR Sport Compact Élite Total Métal Récupération
1. Steve Godbout #75
2. Jimmy Gagné #4
3. Jeff Côté #51

NASCAR Sport Compact Amateur Entreprises Daniel Carré
1. Mickael Giroux #27
2. Jean-Philippe Poulin #21
3.  Ken Grondin #700

La suite de la saison en quelques programmes

Encore une fois, la saison qui marquera les 25 ans d'existence du site sera très relevée tout au long de l'année alors que les NASCAR Late Model Freightliner Québec/Western Star Lévis seront en action lors de chacun des programmes de l'année dont un programme de 117 tours et 2 soirées de 125 tours.

Le 17 juin prochain, la série NASCAR Pinty's CRS Express fera rugir les moteurs alors que divers grands noms du stock-car seront en piste.  

Notons également le rendez-vous des 25 ans le 4 et 5 août présenté par Frameco alors que les NASCAR Late Model Freightliner Québec/Western Star Lévis seront sur place les 2 soirs avec des finales de 125 tours les deux soirs.  Plusieurs séries touring seront également en action dont les Sportsman.
Dans le cadre de la soirée du Garage HLS Bégin, le 27 août, les amateurs auront la chance de voir une série qui en sera à une première présence sur l'asphalte, soit la série Empire Super Sprint dont les courses se font sur terre battue.

Le Championnat de la NASCAR Late Model Freightliner Québec/Western Star Lévis se gagnera le 16 septembre dans le cadre de la soirée Habitations Dany Lagacé.

Les amateurs de Drift auront 3 rendez-vous à se mettre sous la dent dont le premier est prévu le 20 mai prochain.

Les séries NASCAR Semi-Pro Excavation AD Roy, NASCAR Sport Compact Élite Total Métal Récupération et la NASCAR Sport Compact Amateur Entreprise Daniel Carré seront également en piste à 9 occasions durant l'été permettant ainsi aux amateurs et aux coureurs de développer leur talent.

L'organisation a travaillé avec acharnement pour finaliser les détails relativement aux règlements de toutes les classes de la série NASCAR Whelen All American Series. Selon le directeur des opérations de course de l'Autodrome Chaudière, Monsieur Yves Groleau  "avec l'arrivée de la bannière NASCAR, nous devons offrir un spectacle de qualité aux amateurs qui se présenteront devant le mur vert pour voir les coureurs performer et notre rôle est de guider tous ces pilotes."

À propos de l'Autodrome Chaudière

C'est en 1992, en collaboration avec le Club Lions de Vallée-Jonction que le circuit Chaudière débute ses activités. À ce moment, la piste est de ¼ de mille sur terre battue. Treize ans plus tard, l'Autodrome Chaudière transforme le circuit en piste asphaltée de ¼ de mille, devenant la piste la plus inclinée au Québec. En 2016, un groupe d'hommes d'affaires beaucerons fait l'acquisition de l'Autodrome Chaudière.  Aujourd'hui, l'Autodrome Chaudière est une des 60 pistes sanctionnées NASCAR en amérique du Nord et produit quatre différentes séries dont la NASCAR Late Model.

COREY MASON WIN NORTH COUNTRY FORD LATE MODEL SERIES OPENER

COREY MASON WIN NORTH COUNTRY FORD

LATE MODEL SERIES OPENER









 

            It was opening night at Speedway 51 powered by the Autosaver Group at the high banked ¼ mile oval in Groveton, New Hampshire, and the fans were treated to some red hot racing throughout the evening at the NAPA Spectacular. Winners included Corey Mason, Brendan Moodie, Thomas Merchant and Kyle Labounty.

 

            The North Country Ford Late Models were in town for the North Country Ford Late Model Series, Round #1, and the event feature side by side racing for the entire 50 lap run. Chip Grenier grabbed the point and held the field at bay for the first 24 laps before a cut right front tire brought out the lone caution event of the race. Mike Kenison assumed the point with Corey Mason to his outside. The next 21 laps were some of the best seen in years at the pair ran side by side, swapping the lead numerous times before Mason took over and grabbed the lead on the outside. Kenison now had his hands full with rookie driver, Brendan Moodie, as he took to the outside lane and passed Kenison at the stripe on lap 48. Corey Mason collected the checkered flag ahead of Moodie, Kenison, Randy Potter and Kevin Boutin. Mason won the qualifying race.

 

            A short field of Perras Ace Hardware Tiger Sportsman took to the track for their 15 lap feature event, and when it was over, 2016 champion edged out newcomer John Boutin for the win. The pair battled hard with Boutin leading the first 14 laps, before Moodie Battled his way by on the final lap. Chris Noyes, subbing for Bill Stebbins Jr. finished third. The Stebbins family are now parents of a baby girl born on Friday.

 

            A highly entertaining Caron's Fabrication Street Stock feature saw newcomer Thomas Merchant from Eden Mills, Vermont capture his career first feature win in dominating style. The battle behind the leader was intense as four cars raced under a blanket the entire race. Brett "The Jet" Rowell held off Kasey Beattie, Brandon Lamphear, and Bunker Hodgdon to claim the runner-up spot. Rowell carried the checkered flag in the heat race.

 

            It was a family feud for the A.B. Excavating Daredevils as younger brother Kyle Labounty edged out his older sibling Garrett Labounty to grab his first ever Daredevil victory. Early Leader Josh Plumley raced home third ahead of rookies Hunter King and Jesse Dunham.

 

            Speedway 51 powered by the Autosaver Group will return to action on Saturday, May 20th for the Tiger Sportsman Special. Joining the Tiger Sportsman will be the Street Stocks, Daredevils and Pure Stocks. There will also be Bike Races for the kids. Bike classes will include 0-3 year olds, 4-6. 7-9, and 10-12 year olds. Post time for the event is 6pm. For more information on this event and others please visit our website at www.speedway51int.com, or call the new Track hotline message info center at 802-266-0240. Speedway 51 is located on Brown Road in Groveton, New Hampshire.
