CE SAMEDI À L'AUTODROME CHAUDIÈRE

STÉPHANE LECOURS, L'HOMME À BATTRE

EN PROCAM-SUPER-TRUCK DE L'ACT

Le 11 juin 2015 – Le pilote de la camionnette 100,5 qui a remporté le combiné des deux courses de 40 tours samedi dernier au Riverside Speedway est gonflé  à bloc et est fermement déterminé à répéter son exploit lors de la course de 50 tours, le «Summer Blast Jass» qui se déroulera à l'Autodrome Chaudière de Vallée Jonction, en Beauce, samedi le 13 juin.

 

Lecours devra cependant composer avec la présence en piste des redoutables pilotes Jimmy Roy, Dany Gariépy, Steve Lavigne et les autres qui n'ont certainement l'intention de faire de cadeaux à celui qui occupe la première place au classement cumulatif avec 85 points, après une manche dans cette populaire série camionnettes de l'ACT, soit 9 de plus que le 91 de Jimmy Roy, et 14 en avant du 37 de Dany Gariépy.

 

À l'occasion de ce programme, les amateurs de courses qui se rendront à l'Autodrome Chaudière assisteront à une tranche de la série canadienne de NASCAR Canadian Tire.

 

Quant à eux, les pilotes Procam Super Truck de l'ACT, propulsés pat Carbopoxy seront admis dans les puits, samedi matin à compter de 10h., alors que leur première présence en piste aura lieu pour des essais à 13h35. D'autres essais Procam Super Truck auront lieu à 14h20.

 

La période qualifications des camionnettes aura lieu à compter de 15h35, alors que ces mêmes pilotes reviendront en piste pour leur finale de la journée de 50 tours dont le départ aura lieu sur le coup de 17h45. Les catégories locales de l'Autodrome Chaudière s'exécuteront entre les courses de camionnettes tout au long de l'après-midi

 

Une intermission aura lieu par la suite avant l'entrée en piste des voitures de la série Canadian Tire à 18h35 pour la tenue des cérémonies d'avant-course et la course principale de 300 tours NCATS.

ACT Awards Three Stars for People's United Bank 100 at Devil's Bowl

ACT Awards Three Stars for People's United Bank 100 at Devil's Bowl

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                     ACT060915-57

Waterbury, VT – The American Racer Three Star program is designed to recognize three teams in no particular order of performance that had outstanding races at American-Canadian Tour (ACT) U.S. Tour events. There are no specific criteria for deciding who might receive the award of a free American Racer Tire (value $125.00), but a special effort by a team, exceptional race, just plain old hard luck, or any other accepted reason is used to decide the award recipients.

 

The Three Stars are chosen by ACT officials and will receive certificates for use of a free American Racer tire at a race of their choosing during the 2015 season.

 

DEVIL'S BOWL SPEEDWAY

PEOPLE'S UNITED BANK 100

 

The People's United Bank 100 at Devil's Bowl Speedway on Saturday, June 6 saw one of the most diverse fields of the 2015 ACT Tour season so far. In addition to the top Tour regulars, the starting grid included weekly competitors from Devil's Bowl, Claremont Speedway in New Hampshire, and the New London-Waterford Speedbowl in Waterford, CT, as well as several "outlaws" and part-time Tour competitors. Despite the relative infamiliarity between drivers, the ACT Tour staged one the cleanest events in recent memory. The 100-lap race went flag-to-flag without a caution, almost exactly one year after the last caution-free Tour race at Speedway 51 on June 7, 2014. In fact, the only incident of the day came in the final corner of heat 2!

 

But the lack of cautions didn't come closing to telling the story. Wayne Helliwell Jr. and Nick Sweet locked horns for the first 2/3 of the event, before eventual winner Joey Polewarczyk Jr. chased both of them down. Behind the lead trio, a number of other drivers had outstanding drives in their own right. Among those drivers, the following have been chosen for the Three Stars Award:

 

*Dillon Moltz, Waterford, CT – #5CT – "Thrillin' Dillon" Moltz is no stranger to the Late Model scene. He was groomed at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, CT as well as his hometown New London-Waterford Speedbowl, where he won the Late Model Championship in 2012. Moltz added another line to his racing resumé in 2014 by winning the Granite State Pro Stock Series title. This season, Moltz and his Mark Brackett–owned team are running a mix of Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model, ACT Late Model, and Granite State Pro Stock Series events.

 

The #5CT team made their first ACT start at Devil's Bowl with a car purchased from former Oxford Plains Speedway Champion Ricky Rolfe. It had been two years since Moltz climbed behind the wheel of a Late Model, but he quickly got back up to speed. Moltz started 12th and ran in the top-10 for nearly the entire event, putting on an outstanding battle in the second half with Brad Babb, Emily Packard, and Brian Hoar. Despite not getting a caution that would help him close up to the field, Moltz ended with an impressive 6th-place finish. The #5CT team receives a Star Award for hitting the ground running in their ACT debut and will be a team to watch at future events.

 

*Arthur Heino Jr., Newport, NH – #07ME –Arthur Heino Jr. has been transitioning to ACT-type Late Models the past two years after doing much of his formative racing in the Modified ranks. Heino, who is from the same town as ACT Tour contender Kyle Welch, is a former winner in pavement Modifieds at Monadnock Speedway and in dirt Modifieds at Legion Speedway. He now competes weekly in the Claremont Speedway Late Models, where he currently ranks second in points.

 

Heino made his ACT Tour debut at Devil's Bowl on Saturday in a Crazy Horse Racing car formerly driven by Maine racer Scott Luce. A 16th-place finish may not seem like a grand entrance to the touring ranks, but it marked quite the accomplishment for the #07ME team. Heino began the night by finishing third in his heat race, which earned him the 15th starting spot in the feature. He then ran a clean and respectful 100-lap event, earning valuable seat time while holding his own against the Tour and Devil's Bowl regulars. This Star Award goes go to a team still gaining experience in both Late Model and long-distance racing; if Saturday was any indication, then they may be on their way to bigger things.

 

*Josh Masterson, Bristol, VT – #11NY – Josh "Kid Rocket" Masteron took the Devil's Bowl Late Model world by storm in 2013, finishing second in points in his first year after moving up from the Mini Stocks. He scored another runner-up points finish in 2014 and already has a weekly feature win this season. Masterson also competes regularly whenever the ACT Tour visits his home track or travels to Plattsburgh, NY's Airborne Speedway. Recently, he led 23 laps in last month's Spring Green 115 at Airborne.

 

Saturday marked Masterson's best ACT Tour performance to date. Masterson noted before the event that, while his car was fast in weekly features, he was still working on finding the right combination for long-distance events. But may have found it on Saturday. Masterson never ranked worse than sixth in the field throughout the race, eventually bringing home a fourth-place result. The #11NY team had by far the best result of any of their fellow Devil's Bowl weekly teams, and was only a tick off from challenging the Helliwell/Sweet/Pole lead trio. The current Devil's Bowl point leaders receives a well-deserved Star Award for taking another important step forward with their program.

 

The ACT Tour has a week off before making their annual visit to White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, NH on Saturday, June 20. Wayne Helliwell Jr. and Joey Polewarczyk Jr. bring their tight championship battle to the ¼-mile oval to take on local standouts such as Tyler Cahoon and Travis Fadden. Post time is 5:00pm.

NASCAR Canadian Tire Series News & Notes: Chaudiere

 

For Immediate Release

 

NASCAR Canadian Tire Series News & Notes: Chaudiere

·        Budweiser 300 Will Mark Series' Milestone 100th Race

·        Defending Chaudiere Winner Hathaway Shares In Historic Event

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (June 9, 2015) – The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 will make history with the drop of the green flag in Saturday's Budweiser 300 at Autodrome Chaudiere, and defending race winner Jason Hathaway will share in the milestone event.

 

Hathaway is one of just three drivers that have competed in each of the series' first 99 races, and a victory in last year's inaugural Budweiser 300 ranks among his career highlights. Despite turning in a dominant performance throughout the race, Hathaway needed to out-duel Mark Dilley in a tense green-white-checkered flag finish to reach Victory Lane.

 

The St. Thomas, Ontario, native is eager to return to the wide and banked quarter-mile oval in Valle-Jonction, Quebec, to chase another victory.

 

"I can't wait to get there, I'd drive there right now," Hathaway said. "It's a great race track. It's great for the fans to see us run up there on that nice oval."

 

Hathaway will share the history of Saturday's event with D.J. Kennington and Scott Steckly, who will also make it 100-for-100 by starting the Budweiser 300.

 

"It's quite an accomplishment," Hathaway said. "From where I started as a kid running go-karts and street stocks in Ontario, there wasn't a thought in my mind I'd run 100 NASCAR races in Canada."

 

Like Kennington and Steckly, Hathaway has enjoyed team stability throughout his career, a big factor in making it to each and every event.

 

"It's an accomplishment for myself, but also for my family and my team," Hathaway said. "I've been to all 99 races with Ed Hakonson Racing and Team 3 Red, so I haven't been like an old hockey player traded around a few times."

 

While Hathaway will get to share in the exclusivity of the 100th Canadian Tire Series event on Saturday, he'll primarily be driven to repeat as the Budweiser 300 winner.

 

"It was nice to win up there last year on Father's Day and have the kids there, so hopefully we can win again and bring home another trophy," Hathaway said.

If photographs or graphics are needed for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, please contact Jason Cunningham at jcunningham@nascar.com.

 

Fast Facts:

The Race:  The Budweiser 300 will be the second of 11 events on the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 schedule, and the first of four trips to the province of Quebec.

 

The Procedure:  The maximum starting field is 24 cars, including provisionals. The first 21 cars will have secured starting positions through two-lap time trials while the remaining three spots will be awarded through the provisional process. The race is scheduled for 300 laps (75 miles) and will have a five-minute midway break at or near the conclusion of Lap 150. This is an impound race with two change tires allowed.

 

The Track:  Autodrome Chaudiere held its inaugural Canadian Tire Series event in 2014. The quarter-mile, high-banked oval opened in 1992 with a dirt racing surface and was paved for the first time in 2005.

 

Budweiser 300 Notes:

The 300 is No. 100:  Saturday's Budweiser 300 will mark the 100th event in NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 history. Ontario's Cayuga Motor Speedway played host to the inaugural race on May 26, 2007, and the series visited 16 other tracks across six provinces through its first eight seasons.

 

Oval Expertise:  The same three drivers that have started all 99 previous Canadian Tire Series races – Jason Hathaway, D.J. Kennington and Scott Steckly – also make up three of the top four most successful competitors on ovals. Kennington leads the trio with 17 triumphs, the series' ovals record, while Steckly is just one behind with 16. Don Thomson Jr., now the crew chief for rookie Cayden Lapcevich, ranks third with seven oval wins while Hathaway follows with five.

 

Ontario Winners at Quebec Ovals:  There have been seven oval races in the province of Quebec in Canadian Tire Series history, and each has been won by an Ontario driver. Hathaway won the inaugural Autodrome Chaudiere race last year and the six events at Autodrome St-Eustache have gone to Steckly (4), Kennington and Dave Whitlock.

 

L.P. Dumoulin to Reach a Milestone of His Own:  Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, native and defending series champion L.P. Dumoulin will reach a milestone of his own at Autodrome Chaudiere as the Budweiser 300 will be his 50th career start. Dumoulin earned his first Quebec win a year ago in his hometown Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres, and notched his first oval victory last year as well, at Saskatchewan's Auto Clearing Motor Speedway.

 

First Oval Test for J.F. Dumoulin:  The Budweiser 300 will be the first career oval start for J.F. Dumoulin, older brother of the reigning champion. Each of J.F. Dumoulin's first 20 Canadian Tire Series starts has come between the road courses at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Circuit ICAR, Circuit de Trois-Rivieres and Toronto Exhibition Place.

 

Labbe Set to Return:  Alex Labbe will return to action in the Budweiser 300 after an injury just prior to green flag at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park prevented him from participating in the season-opener on May 17. Labbe, from Victoriaville, Quebec, grew up closest to Autodrome Chaudiere of any of the Canadian Tire Series competitors.

 

Inaugural Events:  Last year's inaugural Budweiser 300 marked the first new oval event for the series since Ontario's Delaware Speedway joined the schedule in 2009. Following this week's second running at Chaudiere, the Canadian Tire Series will return to Ontario for another inaugural event, the Leland Industries 300 presented by Johnsonville on June 20 at Sunset Speedway.

Polewarczyk Wins People’s United Bank 100 for First Devil’s Bowl ACT Victory

Polewarczyk Wins People's United Bank 100 for First Devil's Bowl ACT Victory

Branham and Rabtoy are first-time winners

 

For Immediate Release                                                                                                                                                                         DBS-060815-1

 

WEST HAVEN, VT – American-Canadian Tour stock car driver Joey Polewarczyk Jr. waited a full year to make up for a bitter defeat at Devil's Bowl Speedway, but the wait paid off on Saturday, June 6, as the defending ACT champion took down the caution-free People's United Bank 100.  His victory was part of a four-division card that also saw Bucko Branham, Dylan Rabtoy, and Chris LaVair carry the checkered flag.

Hudson, NH racer Polewarczyk – known by the nickname "Joey Pole" – lost what appeared to be a sure ACT victory at Devil's Bowl in 2014, getting beaten by Brian Hoar on a restart with just eight laps remaining.  On Saturday night, though, his drive to the win was not to be denied.  Polewarczyk started seventh on the 26-car field and conserved his tires in the first half of the race as Wayne Helliwell Jr. of Dover, NH and Barre, VT's Nick Sweet, each a three-time Devil's Bowl winner, waged a see-saw battle for the lead.

Polewarczyk sliced through traffic after the halfway mark and used lapped traffic and superior handling to make his way past Sweet on the inside lane during the non-stop race.  He stalked Helliwell and then made the winning move on the outside at lap 75, driving away to a convincing victory.

"I couldn't have asked for a better car," Polewarczyk said.  "It rolled through the corners better than anyone, and it stuck wherever I put it.  I wanted this one pretty bad, and it more than makes up for last year."

Behind Polewarczyk, Helliwell and Sweet continued their race-long fight; Sweet finally wrestled the runner-up position away with five laps remaining.  Home track driver Josh Masterson of Bristol, VT had his best-ever ACT showing in fourth place, while Brad Babb won a late battle for fifth place with first-time ACT driver Dillon Moltz of Waterford, CT.  Emily Packard finished seventh, followed by Hoar, Kyle Welch, and Brandon Atkins.

Three divisions from the weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series presented by Yandow Sales & Service and John Deere competed, with each winner taking home a w7150 Impact Wrench from Ingersoll Rand Tools, valued at $600.

Bucko Branham of Plattsburgh, NY turned around a rough start to his season with his first Devil's Bowl victory in the 35-lap feature race for the Bond Auto Parts Modified division.  Early carnage took out several cars before "Professor" Branham and Leon Gonyo made their way to the back bumper of leader Jason Bruno.  Branham and Gonyo slipped by with 10 laps to go, and Branham's No. 20 Bud Light-sponsored car sailed to the win.  Gonyo, however, ran out of fuel on the final lap, allowing Bruno to take a career-best runner-up finish.

Bruno, of Morrisonville, NY, was recently tabbed as a fill-in driver for the No. 69 McCoy Motorsports car and made the most of his opportunity by winning his qualifying heat and leading the first 24 laps of the feature.  Rookie Jim "Timex" Morgan of Plattsburgh finished third in just his fifth career start, followed by Greg Atkins of Clintonville, NY and Vince Quenneville Jr. of Brandon, VT.  Joey Roberts, Ron Proctor, Dave Snow, Jason Furman, and Codie Aubin completed the top 10; Gonyo was scored 14th.

Atkins and Quenneville are locked in a battle for the first-ever Yandow/John Deere "Spring Championship Series" title, and will decide the winner at Airborne Park Speedway on Saturday, June 13.  Atkins holds a miniscule one-point lead on Quenneville (242-241) entering the finale of the six-race series.

Sixteen year-old Dylan Rabtoy of Swanton, VT was also a first-time winner on People's United Bank Night, taking the 25-lap feature for the Brileya's Chrysler-Jeep Renegade division.  The second-generation driver started on the pole position and was never headed.

Plattsburgh, NY's Jason McClatchie finished second and was denied a "triple crown" after winning his qualifying heat and the semi-feature.  Scott FitzGerald of West Rutland, VT held off a charging Richie Turner for third place, and Robert Gordon was fifth.  Gordon holds a narrow five-point lead on McClatchie entering the final round of the Spring Championship Series at Airborne on June 13.

Chris LaVair of Saranac Lake, NY took down the 15-lap Portland Glass Mini Stock feature in a dominant run.  The win was LaVair's first of the year and the ninth of his career at Devil's Bowl.  Kris Clark of Keeseville, NY finished second in just his second-ever visit to the track, while Spring Championship Series leader Dale O'Neil was third.  Tyler Irwin and John McCarron were next in line.

Devil's Bowl Speedway will hold an open practice session on Friday, June 12 beginning at 4:00 p.m., followed by a barbeque party in the pit area at 7:00 p.m.  Pit admission is $20 for practice, while both grandstand admission and the barbeque party are free.  Weekly Friday night racing kicks off on June 19 at 7:30 p.m. with Central Vermont Motorcycles Night.

Devil's Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, VT, four miles north of Exit 2 on U.S. Route 4.  For more information, visit www.DevilsBowlSpeedwayVT.com or call (802) 265-3112.  Devil's Bowl Speedway is on Facebook at facebook.com/DevilsBowlSpeedway and on Twitter and Instagram at @DevilsBowlSpeed; follow the action using the #DevilsBowl hashtag.

INEX Ontario Legend Series Runs Their Second Date of the Year at Peterborough Speedway

INEX Ontario Legend Series Runs Their Second Date of the Year at Peterborough Speedway

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media




 

Ideal weather conditions and a strong Fan Appreciation Night crowd welcomed the INEX Ontario Legend Series to Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved Oval – Saturday, June 6th – for the second time on the 2015 schedule.

 

A solid field of 20 lightning fast INEX Ontario Legends Series machines rolled from the Peterborough Speedway staging area for a 25 lap main event that closed an exciting night of action with Cole Ledson and Brian Saunders pacing the pack. There were amazing battles throughout the field. Former series champion Kevin Foisy advanced from his starting spot inside the second row and took control with 5 complete, as Nicholas Ledson, Saunders, Cole Ledson and Cole McFadden filled-out the top 5 positions and were hot on the tail of the lead dog.

 

The field was going through lapped traffic by the time 10 laps were completed and appeared the green flag feel of the event would come to an end when Saunders – the opening night winner – spun while working around a back-marker coming off the 2nd turn. The driver of the #15S machine kept going and lost only 2 positions in the running order.

 

In stark contrast to their previous visit, the INEX Ontario Legends Series feature race went caution-free, with Foisy taking the win over Nicholas Ledson. Saunders rebounded to finish 3rd. Cole Ledson and Jamie Riberdy completed the top 5. Cole McFadden, Terry McClelland, Bill Mason, Michael Glaze, Duane Cinnamon, Brandon Thurlby, Robin Jongen, Don Arnott, Jamie MacArthur, Mark Griffin, Willy Howells, Nolan Gould, Parker Traves, Robert Richardson and Rob Black rounded-out the feature event running order.

 

Kevin Foisy and Nicholas Ledson shared the Ontario Legends qualifying heat races.

 

INEX Ontario Legends Series notes: Former Capital City Speedway regular Nolan Gould, Robert Richardson, Rob Black and Parker Traves all made their 2015 series debut. For Traves, it was his first time in a racecar of any kind…Colborne, Ontario's Bailey Brown missed the event. The sophomore runner was spotting for her father Linc at the APC Pro Late Model race at Flamboro Speedway.

A Full Night of Action Thrills the Fans at Peterborough Speedway

A Full Night of Action Thrills the Fans at Peterborough Speedway

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 







After an unexpected week off due to rain, Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved Oval came back to life – Saturday, June 6th – with a full night of racing, that featured the Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun, Paul Davis Systems Thunder Car, Mini Stock and INEX Ontario Legend divisions. A 100 lap endurance event closed-out the show.

 

Ray Schroer and Ryan Babin paced the field of 21 starters to the green flag for the 20 lap Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun feature event. Schroer and Matthew Vandebelt broke away from the pack, but within a handful of laps, slower traffic came into play. James Townsend moved into second spot near halfway with Andrew Massey and Ryan Oosterholt chasing the lead duo. As the laps clicked away, Townsend – filling-in for Tiffany Vandebelt – moved into the lead and held on for the win. Oosterholt, Massey, Schroer and Jeremy Kelly completed the top 5.

 

Geoff Greatrix and Luke Gignac brought the Paul Davis Systems Thunder Car starting field to the line. Invader Dan Archibald moved into second spot as the lap counter showed 3 complete, with Gignac still finding the quick way around. There were 7 laps on the scoreboard when the caution flag flew after contact between Fedelle DiBello and Jeff Bell. The heavily damaged #9 was towed from the track, while DiBello's night was done after being penalized for rough riding. On the restart, it was Archibald, Tyler Liscum and Gignac in the top 3 spots, with Howie Crowe and Anthony DiBello the top running home track cars. A couple of late race yellow flags bunched the field, with a turn 3 incident forcing the race to end under yellow. Anthony DiBello took the win over Crowe. Steve Mayhew, Greatrix and Tom Podd completed the top 5.

 

15 Mini Stocks left the staging area for a 20 lap feature tilt, with Steve McNevin and Gil Brooks on the front row. Brandon Hannah, Tyler Junkin and Miles Tyson launched a 3 car breakaway until the caution flag flew with 6 laps complete. Back under green conditions, Tyler Junkin took control, with Tyson and Hannah trying to hold invader Gerrit Tiemersma at bay. At the checkered flag, it was Junkin taking his first win of the season. Tyson, Hannah, Donovan Price and Fred Jordan followed the leader across the stripe.

 

The final feature race of the night was a 25 lapper for the INEX Ontario Legends, with Cole Ledson and Brian Saunders pacing the pack. There were amazing battles throughout the field. Former series champion Kevin Foisy took control with 5 complete, as Nicholas Ledson, Saunders, Cole Ledson and Cole McFadden filled-out the top 5 positions. Cars were going through lapped traffic, when Saunders spun, but kept going with 14 circuits down. In a race that went caution-free, Foisy took the win over Nicholas Ledson. Saunders rebounded to finish 3rd, with Cole Ledson and Jamie Riberdy completing the top 5.

 

The top 5 finishers in Peterborough Speedway's first endurance event of 2015 were #34 Lloyd Harper, #7 Stan Tisnovsky, #7x Noel Snow, #79 Ryan Oosterholt and #48 Paul Wannamaker.

 

Finding their way to the main event were Ryan Oosterholt with a pair, Jeremy Kelly and Andrew Massey who won 4Fun qualifiers. Howie Crowe with a pair, Jeff Bell and Tyler Liscum took Thunder Car preliminary rounds. The 4 Mini Stock heats were shared by Miles Tyson and Tyler Junkin, while Kevin Foisy and Nicholas Ledson split the INEX Ontario Legend Series openers.

 

Bullring bullet points: Tanya Shepherd of Warsaw, Ontario walked away with the $932.00 50/50 prize. A number of drivers made their 2015 Peterborough Speedway debut including Tyler Liscum, Dan Archibald and Luke Gignac in the Thunder Car division and Mini Stocker Gerrit Tiemersma. INEX Ontario Legends Series runner Fred Jordan took a turn in a Mini Stock ride and logged a 5th place finish.

 

Saturday, June 13th the Battlefield Equipment Rental 4Fun, Mini Stock, Renegade Truck and Earl Ireland Auto Sales Late Model divisions will be joined by the Can Am TQ Midgets. Pit gates will open at 3:00, with the spectator grandstands unlocked at 5:00 and the first green flag at 6:00.
