Delaware Speedway - June 19 recap and results

STEVE BOOK DOMINATES FIRST ENDURO NIGHT RACE OF 2010!

June 19, 2010 (London, Ontario)

This season's first night Transmission Direct Enduro and Ultimate Sandblasting & Coating Chaos race was hot – in action and in temperature.  Plenty of drivers had their cars overheat – some made it back out to race and some didn't.  It was Steve Book's race despite his 64 having some mechanical issues earlier in the evening, too.

 

Pole sitter Terry Cole remained the race leader through some early trouble including a rollover at lap 3 that no one – not even that car's driver – seemed to be able to explain.  Matt Lassaline (24) rolled at least twice prompting the second time the night's sponsor, Whitworth Towing, had to haul a rollover off the track.  (The first was during a heat race) The 182 of Manny Demelo was also brought in by Whitworth and apologized that a steering problem caused him to clip Lassaline made him flip.

The second caution occurred at lap 6 when a rear tire flew off the 12 car of Mike Skinner and nearly landed in the truck bed of Dan Hundt (31).

At lap 17 Cole (129) surrendered the lead with a mechanical problem putting Steve Book (64) out front.  (Earlier in the night Book had left the second heat race to deal with some troubles under the hood although he did return and finished that heat five laps off the pace.)

The race stayed green at lap 35 when a handful of contenders connected on the back stretch.  Stan Cook and his crew took a baseball bat to the 74 to try to get it in shape to return to the race, which it did at lap 48. The "Lightning McQueen" car of Jacob Orr overheated although it was hard to tell because that vehicle's tongue is always hanging out.  

Rough luck for Steve Arrand at lap 64. He lost his 4th place position with a spin.  At the same time, Steve Lovie (141) took advantage of the slowed traffic and got back on the lead lap but it didn't last long.  A similar situation cost Derek McCullough (38) his second place position a few laps later. He finished 4th.

The track was red-flagged at lap 84 as Josh Lusicer (99) spun on turn one and lost power.  Whitworth gave him a push off to the pits where the car was given a much needed drink and time to cool off. A couple of laps later lots of smoke from Carl Geiger whose 18 car smoked and spun on turn one.  The 18 sat facing traffic, out of harm's way, for the rest of the race.

Steve Arrand's night came to an end at lap 120 when Adam Deauvall (19) spun and Arrand had nowhere to go but into the 19.

With Book dominating and lapping the traffic on the track, the race was on for second spot.  #2 heat winner Ed Jeffrey maintained second until Norm Schneckenburger, driving Barry Watson's car, took it over with less than 10 laps to go before giving it back again.

The win was Steve Book's second feature victory of the season.  Jeffrey landed second, Schneckenburger third, Derek McCullough fourth and Piet Blaauboer II in fifth.

 

Some contenders were taken out before the feature race.

In the first heat, the 409 of Kevin Casson left at lap 5, spewing a bonfire's worth of smoke.  Jim Toffliemeyer's (125) left front flat took him out at lap 19.  In all, a dozen drivers didn't finish the first heat which was won by Richard Ainsworth.  It was Ainsworth's first trip to Victory Lane in 15 years of racing and announcer Jamie Maudsley said Ainsworth was "smiling like a mule with a mouthful of thistles!"

At lap 8 the second heat race had to be red-flagged when Scott Cottenden's car struck the back wall and flipped onto its lid.  Cottenden crawled out and waved to show he was okay. (That was Whitworth's first call to action of the night.)  Ed Jeffrey took the win.

Another entertaining round of Ultimate Sandblasting & Coating Chaos Cars saw The Red Baron (Chris O'Neill) make his way to Victory Lane with a crumpled hood and spewing smoke!

 

Join us next Friday, June 25th, for the Maple City Tire 100; twin 50 lap races featuring the NASCAR Late Models.  Full details on the night can be found here: http://www.delawarespeedway.com/nbmaplecitytire100.php

Ticket prices for the Maple City Tire 100 will be $20 for adults, $16 for students and seniors.  This night's racing is our Canada Day celebration.   Wear your red and white and stay with us for a fireworks display!

ACT CASTROL - 2e victoire pour Karl Allard

Pour diffusion immédiate (20-6-10 -16)

 

Série ACT-Castrol Edge au circuit Ste-Croix/Riverside Speedway

 

KARL ALLARD L’EMPORTE DE JUSTESSE….

 

Karl Allard a remporté sa deuxième victoire consécutive, samedi soir, au circuit Ste-Croix/Riverside Speedway lors d’une épreuve de 100 tours écourtée à 96, ou plus précisément lors d’un marathon de drapeaux jaunes, soit 16 au total dans cette quatrième manche de la série ACT-Castrol Edge.

 

Allard est tombé en panne sèche en franchissant la ligne d’arrivée. C’est donc dire que si la pluie n’était pas venue à sa rescousse, il y a fort à parier que Patrick Laperle aurait été en mesure de visiter le cercle des vainqueurs. Pour sa part, Donald Theetge a terminé en troisième place et il a du travailler sans relâche pour obtenir cette position. Ce sont les seuls résultats connus, car les officiels de l’ACT devront procéder à une vérification complète.

 

Allard qui était parti de la 19e place, a du remonter tout le peloton après une visite à son puits en début de course. En plus de la pluie qui a retardé considérablement ce programme, plusieurs pilotes ont été victimes de dérapages causant ainsi ces nombreux ralentissements de cette course qui ne passera certainement pas à l’histoire avec une durée de deux heures, 20 minutes.

 

Note décevante également, malgré une réponse affirmative, l’Ontarien Jonathan Urlin brillait par son absence. Il y avait tout de même 29 voitures au départ. Un accident impliquant cinq pilotes (Leclerc, Hamel, Lauzier, S.Descoste et Marco Savoie) est survenu au tiers de l’épreuve, mais seulement de la tôle froissée.

 

En début de soirée, Stéphane Descoste, Yvon Bédard dont le moteur a rendu l’âme en finale, Donald Theetge et Jean-François Déry avaient remporté les épreuves de qualification alors que la course de consolation a été enlevée de l’horaire en raison du mauvais temps.

 

Cette soirée qui s’est avérée un cauchemar pour tout le monde, n’a pas épargné les pilotes des classes locales qui ont du sacrifier la deuxième finale à l’horaire qui sera reprise le 22 août prochain. Les gagnants de la première ont été Claude Laflamme (Kamikaze) et Sylvain Carrier (Sport Compacte).

 

La cinquième manche de la série ACT-Castrol Edge aura lieu à l’Autodrome Montmagny, le 3 juillet prochain. Il s’agira alors du Montmagny 250, épreuve remportée par Patrick Laperle en 2009. En ce qui concerne le circuit Ste-Croix /Riverside Speedway, mentionnons d’il sera le théâtre d’un premier Festival Country  Rétro mettant en vedette plusieurs artistes dont Maxim Farago, le week-end prochain. En même temps, on tiendra une exposition de voitures antiques.

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.

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 5/8e 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.

Tisseur hangs on for Airborne win

For immediate release

South Plattsburgh – Richard Tisseur of Chateauguay, Quebec kept Patrick Dupree at bay - after a caution with seven laps remaining erased his eight car-length lead - and he went on to record his first DIRTcar Modified win on Green Lee Tools/AFLAC Night Saturday at Airborne Speedway.

                After 16 green flag laps began the 30-lap feature, Tisseur took the lead from Vince Quenneville as Andy Heywood, Mike Reyell and Dupree ran 3-4-5. Dupree, seeking his third consecutive win, moved into third on lap 18 and sped around Quenneville for second on lap 20.

 

Tisseur’s winning margin was 15 feet. Heywood finished third well ahead of Quenneville in fourth with Reyell fifth. “I didn’t mind that Patrick was coming after me,” Tisseur said. “That’s the fun of racing.”

Positions 6-10 went to Todd Ormsby, Chad Blair, Leon Gonyo, Mike Wells and Bryant Trim. Craig Reyell had his best run of the season go for naught when he failed to come up to speed for the lap 17 restart while running fourth.

                Bucko Branham worked underneath Jamy Begor with seven laps left and raced off to his second straight J&S Steel Sportsman win.  Shawn Duquette caught Begor for second on the white flag lap. Jim Bushey finished fourth. Tylor Terry completed the top five.

                Lonnie Rivers of Cadyville won the Versatile Trailer Sales Renegade feature. Rivers passed runner-up Robert Gordon on lap 13 of the 25-lap event. Lance Rabtoy of Fairfax, VT placed third.

          Josh Durivage, Curtis LaGrave and Scott Richner finished 1-2-3 in the Monster Energy Bomber feature. Rick Doner of Ausable Forks carried the NAPA Mini-Modified checkers.

          The Versatile Trailer Sales Renegades will go 50 green flag laps in the main event this Saturday, June 19. Post time is 6 p.m.

NCTS - Dilley Motorsports PR - Dilley Ninth on Road Course at Mosport

For Immediate Release

 

Bowmanville, ON, Sunday June 13, 2010: Mark Dilley driver of the No. 9 PartSource/Mobil 1 Dodge Avenger started the weekend with a sixth place qualifying effort and crossed the finish line in ninth place in Sunday’s Vortex Brake Pads 200.

 

Rain washed out the second group qualifying on Saturday afternoon so Dilley was on track early on Sunday to run his qualifying session.  The No 9 PartSource driver went on to post the quickest lap times he’s ever had at the Mosport road course, qualifying in sixth place.

 

A full course caution occurred on lap 17, which allowed Dilley to make a pit stop for fuel. The No.9 also took two tires and restarted in 13th. There were no more caution flags so the rest of the 51 lap race was run under green and Dilley was able to work his way up the field and finish the Vortex Brake Pads 200 in ninth place.

 

After the race Dilley commented,  “The car was great at the beginning of the race, but we didn’t have any tires left and couldn’t gain any more track position towards the end.”

 

Overall Dilley was satisfied with his performance at Mosport International raceway, “We’ll take a top ten finish on a road course, it will keep us where we are in the points.”

 

Dilley is currently sixth in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Points after two events.  The next event for the No. 9 PartSource team will be at Autodome St. Eustache on Saturday July 3rd

 

The Vortex Brake Pads 200 will be broadcast on TSN on Sunday June 20th at noon.
