ALEX LABBE TO DEBUT IN XFINITY AT PHOENIX AND SEEKING A PINTY'S TITLE IN 2017


ALEX LABBE TO DEBUT IN XFINITY AT PHOENIX AND SEEKING A PINTY'S TITLE IN 2017




MONTREAL, QC – 2016-11-07 [updated 17h06] – The young St-Albert, QC stock car driver, Alex LABBÉ, will be the next Quebecois driver to make an attempt at the NASCAR XFINITY Series.  Driving the Mario GOSSELIN owned and prepared automobile, Labbé, 23 years old, will be racing in the Ticket Galaxy 200 at Phoenix International Raceway in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend.



"In addition to providing him a ride in the NASCAR Pinty's Series, we want Alex to continue his development in motorsports.  This is why we are providing him with the opportunity to rub fenders with the best and promising drivers of NASCAR, in at least five starts, behind the wheel of one of our Ford Can-Am Kappa Cyclops Gear NASCAR XFINITY cars" declared Alain Lord Mounir, Principal Officer for Go FAS Racing, Kappa clothes and Cyclop camera gear.

It will be important to finish.

The Ticket Galaxy 200, a NASCAR XFINITY race, will be held in the shadows of the Can-Am 500, for NASCAR Spring Cup cars.  Labbé will be competing in front of the NASCAR brass and all of the large teams.

Despite very modest expectations this weekend, he claims to be seeking experience and wants to rally the finish line, this race is in fact one of the many in his quest for a NASCAR Sprint Cup ride.

To get there, Labbé will need to convince NASCAR Officials that he has what it takes on the track to compete at those levels... short tracks, like Phoenix, intermediate tracks (1 to 2 miles), Speedways (2 miles) and finally Super Speedways (2.5 miles).  All of this may shake itself quickly for Labbé... but it is not automatic.

Intentions: Kick off 2017 at an intermediate track.

"Because the 2017 Pinty's Series calendar is still not available, we can't firm up our plans yet.  Of course my objective is to win the Pinty's title, but also to make my time in the XFINITY Series in order to be at the 2018 edition in Daytona" said a very smiling Alex Labbé.

Many changes expected in the Pinty's Series.

While he did not want to specify, Alex did confirm to us in the interview that many many important changes are to be expected in his chase for the Pinty's title.  He will not settle for anything less than providing Go FAS Racing, Can-Am, Kappa and Cyclops gear a title in Canada's premier NASCAR Series.

If he and his team are not ready to tell us more specific details, it is easy to believe that Labbé will want to surround himself with the people that have provided him with great success in his relatively short career, starting with Mario Gosselin, who will be handling crew chief duties for him this weekend.  Is an all Québécois team possible?

Larue steps in.

If fans and followers of the American-Canadian Tour is used to seeing Labbé sport the Larue snowplow and paving equipment colors, it will definitely be a weird feeling to see them on an XFINITY car.  For Labbé's first race in the Series, Larue, a Quebec company joins others to make this possible.  But the association doesn't stop there.  "As soon as the Pinty's schedule is known we will research which races we can do together in the Late Model and Super Late Model ranks."

The XFINITY race will be held on November 12, at Phoenix International Raceway (Phoenix, Arizona) and will be broadcasted in the USA on NBCSN and in Canada on TSN.

ALEX LABBÉ EN XFINITY À PHOENIX ET À LA QUÊTE D'UN TITRE PINTY'S EN 2017


ALEX LABBÉ EN XFINITY À PHOENIX ET À LA QUÊTE D'UN TITRE PINTY'S EN 2017



MONTRÉAL, QC – 2016-11-07 – Le pilote de voitures stock-car Alex LABBÉ de St-Albert sera le prochain Québécois à tenter sa chance en NASCAR XFINITY.  Au volant de la voiture propriété de Mario GOSSELIN qui sera son chef d'équipe, Labbé, 23 ans, prendra part à l'épreuve Ticket Galaxy 200 au Phoenix International Raceway à Phoenix, Arizona ce weekend.


"En plus de lui confier à nouveau le volant de notre voiture en série NASCAR Pinty's, nous voulons qu'Alex continue de gravir les échelons vers les sommets de la course automobile.  C'est pourquoi nous lui permettrons de se frotter aux meilleurs pilotes de la relève de NASCAR avec au moins cinq départs au volant d'une de nos Ford Can-Am Kappa Cyclops Gear" de la série NASCAR XFINITY" déclara Alain Lord Mounir, dirigeant de Go FAS Racing, des vêtements Kappa et des caméras Cyclos Gear.

Il est important de terminer.

L'épreuve Ticket Galaxy 200, pour les voitures NASCAR XFINITY est disputée en marge de l'épreuve Can-Am 500, pour les voitures NASCAR Sprint Cup.  Labbé sera donc à l'œuvre devant la grosse gomme de NASCAR et les grosses écuries.

Même si les attentes de Labbé sont modestes en fin de semaine, il dit vouloir prendre de l'expérience et souhaite rallier le fil d'arrivée, cette course est en fait une marche de plus dans sa longue quête d'un volant en NASCAR Sprint.

Pour y arriver, Labbé devra démontrer aux dirigeants de NASCAR ses capacités en piste… les courtes pistes, comme Phoenix, les circuits intermédiaires (1 à 2 miles), les grandes pistes (2 miles) et finalement les super ovales de 2.5 miles ("super speedways").  Il se peut que le tout se bouscule et aille très vite pour Labbé… mais ce n'est pas automatique.

Il aimerait débuter la saison 2017 avec un circuit intermédiaire.

"Comme le calendrier 2017 de la série Pinty's n'est pas encore disponible, nous ne pouvons pas encore faire notre plan de match final.  Mais c'est certain que mon objectif est de remporter le titre en Pinty's, mais aussi de faire mes classes en XFINITY pour être du départ de l'édition 2018 du Daytona 500" lança un jubilant Alex Labbé.

De gros changements du côté Pinty's

Sans vouloir nous en dire plus, en entrevue Alex nous a confirmé que des changements importants sont à venir du côté de son équipe Pinty's afin se donner toutes les chances de remporter pour Go FAS Racing, Can-Am, Kappa et Cyclops gear un titre dans la première série NASCAR au Canada.

Si son équipe et lui ne sont pas prêts à nous en dire plus, il est permis de croire que Labbé va s'entourer des gens qui lui ont donné du succès dans sa jeune, mais très bien garnie carrière, commençant par Mario Gosselin.  Serait-il permis de penser à une équipe toute québécoise?

Larue s'implique.
Si les amateurs de la Série American-Canadian Tour sont habitués de voir Labbé piloté la voiture aux couleurs des équipements de déneigement et de pavage Larue, ce sera certes spécial de les voir sur une voiture XFINITY.  Pour cette première course en XFINITY, Larue, une entreprise de Québec, se joint aux autres partenaires pour rendre l'aventure possible.  Mais ça ne s'arrête pas là.  "Dès que le calendrier Pinty's sera connu ont va regarder quelles courses Late Model et Super Late Model nous pourrons faire ensemble".

La course XFINITY sera disputée le 12 novembre prochain, à la piste de Phoenix International Raceway (Phoenix, Arizona) et sera diffusée aux USA sur NBCSN et au Canada sur TSN.

Alex Labbé poursuit son développement avec Go Fas Racing : des débuts en série NASCAR Xfinity et un retour en série NASCAR Pinty’s à temps plein en 2017








Pour diffusion immédiate

Alex Labbé poursuit son développement avec Go Fas Racing : des débuts en série NASCAR Xfinity et un retour en série NASCAR Pinty's à temps plein en 2017

 

MONTRÉAL, le lundi 7 novembre 2016 | Le jeune pilote québécois de stock car Alex Labbé obtient aujourd'hui le feu vert de l'écurie Go FAS Racing pour disputer sa deuxième saison à temps plein en série NASCAR Pinty's. De plus, il pourra effectuer ses cinq premiers départs en série NASCAR XFinity dont le Ticket Galaxy 200,  ce samedi soir 12 novembre, au Phoenix International Raceway, en Arizona. 

 

« Alex a très bien progressé en 2016 au volant de notre Ford Fusion Can Am-Kappa-Cyclops Gear et il nous fait plaisir de lui permettre de poursuivre son développement au sein de notre organisation. Il reprendra donc le collier à temps plein en NASCAR Pinty's », a dit Alain Lord Mounir, dirigeant de Go FAS Racing, des vêtements Kappa et des caméras Cyclops Gear. 

 

Débuts en Xfinity dès ce week-end

Grâce à ses activités américaines de NASCAR, Go FAS Racing pourra offrir à son poulain la chance de continuer son apprentissage dans cinq courses de la série Xfinity, la deuxième série en importance de NASCAR derrière la coupe Sprint.  Ce programme débutera dès ce week-end alors que la série NASCAR Xfinity roulera en prélude au Can-Am 500 du Phoenix International Raceway.

 

« En plus de lui confier à nouveau le volant de notre voiture en série NASCAR Pinty's, nous voulons qu'Alex continue de gravir les échelons vers les sommets de la course automobile. C'est pourquoi nous lui permettrons de se frotter aux meilleurs pilotes de la relève de NASCAR avec au moins cinq départs au volant d'une de nos Ford Can-Am-Kappa-Cyclops Gear de série NASCAR XFinity. »

 

Pour Alex Labbé, c'est l'occasion inestimable de se faire voir en piste aux côtés des Erik Jones, Elliott Sadler, Daniel Suarez et autres vedettes de la deuxième série de NASCAR. 

 

« Depuis mes tout débuts en course automobile, les pilotes des séries américaines de NASCAR sont mes idoles, a dit le pilote de 23 ans. C'est super de savoir que je vais pouvoir me frotter à eux, mais c'est encore plus gratifiant de savoir que Go FAS Racing m'accorde autant de confiance. Je suis heureux de savoir que j'ai rempli leurs attentes en 2016 et je vais tout faire en mon pouvoir pour décrocher le titre de la série NASCAR Pinty's en 2017 et me faire remarquer positivement en Xfinity. »

 

Des partenaires fidèles

En plus de Can-Am, Kappa et Cyclops Gear, les Équipements Larue, qui appuient Alex depuis longtemps en série ACT, feront partie de ses partenaires pour son premier départ en série NASCAR Xfinity.

 

Lors de sa première saison complète de série NASCAR Pinty's avec Go FAS Racing en 2016, Alex Labbé a terminé septième au championnat avec une victoire à l'Autodrome Chaudière, trois positions de tête en qualification, six top-5 et huit top-10 en 12 départs.

Roy se fait plaisir pour sa dernière course cette saison

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE

Pour diffusion immédiate



 


Roy se fait plaisir pour sa dernière course cette saison

O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge – Texas Motor Speedway

 

Fort Worth, le 6 novembre 2016 - Martin Roy s'est fait plaisir, samedi, en prenant part à sa dernière course de NASCAR Xfinity en 2016. Le pilote a rallié l'arrivée en 30e place sur l'ovale rapide du Texas Motor Speedway, mais ce résultat n'est pas représentatif de sa progression au cours de l'épreuve.

La malchance s'est abattue sur l'équipe québécoise King Autosport dès le début du week-end, alors que le moteur de la voiture Gamache/Côté/Arcopel/Entreposage Fantastik n°90 a rendu l'âme au début de la séance d'essais.

« Je n'ai pas du tout pu pratiquer avec la voiture, donc j'ai préféré rester très prudent en qualifications, ne sachant pas trop comment elle allait réagir », a indiqué Martin Roy.

Ayant pris le départ en 35e place, le pilote a connu un très bon début de course, samedi après-midi, sur l'ovale d'un mille et demi. « J'étais rapide avec des pneus neufs. Mais ça s'est rapidement détérioré. Je ne pouvais pas rouler sur la ligne intérieure de la piste », a commenté le pilote de Napierville.

Roy, au volant de la voiture Gamache/Côté/Arcopel/Entreposage Fantastik n°90, s'est toutefois rapidement adapté. « Je me suis fait vraiment plaisir en roulant à l'extérieur. Ça me permettait d'être rapide et de ne jamais lâcher la pédale de l'accélérateur. De plus, ça évitait au moteur d'avoir des temps morts et ça nous rendait compétitifs. Mais ce que je retiens, c'est vraiment le fun que j'ai eu à faire tous ces tours à l'extérieur! », a partagé celui qui est également propriétaire de l'écurie King Autosport.

La voiture Gamache/Côté/Arcopel/Entreposage Fantastik n°90 a rallié l'arrivée en 30e place. « Ça ne représente pas la course que nous avons faite. Nous nous améliorions constamment. Encore une fois, nous avons appris énormément cette saison. C'est un bon résultat pour nous, et nous démontrons de belles choses, et ce, malgré les moyens limités dont nous disposons en comparaison avec les équipes de pointe », a conclu Roy.

Le O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge a été remporté par Kyle Larson, suivi de Brad Keselowski et Kevin Harvick. 

Il s'agissait de la dernière course en 2016 pour le pilote Martin Roy, qui conclut sa saison en dressant un bilan positif. L'équipe King Autosport sera de retour en action dès la semaine prochaine, au Phoenix International Raceway.

Sargeant Claims Meltdown At Concord; Rowe, Craig Win PASS Titles

Sargeant Claims Meltdown At Concord; Rowe, Craig Win PASS Titles

 

  • For Immediate Release

 

MIDLAND, NC (November 5) – Dalton Sargeant held off Preston Peltier in a near photo finish to claim his first career Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win Saturday afternoonin the Mason-Dixon Meltdown as part of the North-South Shootout at Concord Speedway. Maine's Ben Rowe also celebrated his fourth career PASS National Championship, while Matt Craig edged out Kodie Conner for the PASS South Super Late Model title.

"First off, I really want to thank Preston [Peltier] for driving me as clean as he did, I really respect that," said Sargeant in victory lane.  "I think we had a little bit better drive off the corner than he did, but it's just amazing to get this win as part of the PASS North-South Shootout.  I've got to thank my guys for all the hard work they've put in all year long." 

            In qualifying, Jared Irvan blistered the half-mile triangle for his fourth career PASS South quick qualifying lap with a time of 15.822 seconds (113.766 MPH).  After the top 10 qualifiers redraw, Irvan would slot into the third starting position, while Clay Rogers and Sargeant would move up to the front row.  PASS South points leader Kodie Conner would have an uphill slog racing for the championship as he would start 21st and second place points driver Matt Craig would start fifth.  For Ben Rowe, he secured the PASS National Championship by merely starting the race.

            Rogers led the field at the drop of the green flag, but was quickly overtaken by Irvan on lap five as they raced through the dogleg.  The big mover early on was the winner at Concord in May, Ryan Moore.  After starting 12th, Moore moved by Tate Fogleman for 10th on lap 15 and was making his way up towards the leaders.

            The first caution of the afternoon waved on lap 34 for a solo spin by Terry Horak in turn three.  Just two laps later, Horak would again spin, along with Ontario's JP Josiasse, in turn three.  Irvan continued to lead, now over Sargeant, who moved by Rogers for second. The caution would wave again on lap 50 for the third time during the race as Wes Burton spun down the frontstretch.

After struggling on several restarts due to a broken shifter, Peltier made his way up to third as Sargeant began closing in on Irvan for the lead.  The final caution of the afternoon would wave with 45 laps to go when former Meltdown winner Trevor Noles spun in turn three.

On the restart, Sargeant got a slightly better start than Irvan and was able to use the advantage to take the lead.  As Irvan continued to struggle with the handling on his Chevrolet, Peltier moved by to take second and set his sights on Sargeant for the lead with 30 laps to go.  Both drivers masterfully worked through slower traffic, but Sargeant was able to maintain just a one car length advantage over Peltier. 

Peltier made one final run at Sargeant on the last lap, but the Boca Raton, FL driver held the advantage at the finish for his first career PASS South Super Late Model win.  Irvan finished third, with Moore in fourth and Rogers in fifth.  Rounding out the top 10 were Craig, Josh Berry, Christian Eckes, Jake Crum, and Trey Jarrell.

With his sixth place finish, Craig was able to overtake Conner to become the PASS South Super Late Model titlist by just 12 points.

"All week I just put in my mind that it wasn't a big deal, but every day I got more and more nervous and this morning was pretty rough," said a relieved Craig afterward.  "A lot of good guys have come through this series and a lot of the tracks are tough and prove yourself as a racer and I'm very proud to be the PASS South champion."

For Rowe having only to start the race, his championship run might have been a bit anti-climactic.  But for him and his team, a chance to call himself the nation's only true national champion is an honor he truly relishes.

"You know we all start off the beginning of the year with the goal to be the PASS National Champion and luckily we were able to do it again this year," said Rowe.  "We really enjoy coming down to race with the southern guys, but we were just a little bit off today.  My guys did a great job all year long and we're looking forward to celebrating some more when we get back to Maine."

While the 2016 season is in the books, next year is just around the corner.  The first race for both the PASS National Championship and PASS South will be on Saturday, February 4, 2017, with return of the Winter Meltdown featuring the South Carolina Clash at Dillon Motor Speedway.

Airborne Headed to DIRT



Airborne Headed to DIRT

 

PLATTSBURGH- Airborne Park Speedway has officially announced their transformation from an asphalt surface to a dirt surface for the 2017 season.

The official announcement comes after many rumors about the track changing over. Airborne Promoter, John Walker, made the announcement Tuesday afternoon.

"We have been waiting to make a final decision about this," Walker said. "After exploring options and speaking with many people, this is the right decision and were moving forward with it."

        Airborne's 2016 regular season came to a close on September 18. The track saw tremendous improvements last season after working to restore the local car count and fan base. The goals for 2016 were met and Walker was pleased with his first season as a promoter.

        The need for change is to get Airborne in the best position for longevity. Dirt racing is a hot product and this opens an avenue for great success at the local racetrack. Airborne plans on working together with other tracks and building not only the local car count, but entertaining outsiders as well.

        DIRTcar will be the new sanctioning for the progressively banked half-mile track. The DIRTcar rule book will be used to allow drivers from other DIRTcar tracks to race at Airborne without having to make any major changes to their equipment.

        DIRTcar Northeast Director of Series and Sanctioning, Mike Perrotte, is a Plattsburgh resident and commented on the news from the local track.

        "I'm very excited to have Airborne on board as a DIRTcar member." Perrotte said. "Airborne has always been a special place for me, I started my racing career there and also ran the track for 9 seasons."

        DIRTcar has various touring series that Airborne will look to lineup for the 2017 season.

        "I'm excited about the opportunities that DIRTcar can bring to Airborne." 

        The 358 Modifieds will return as the headline division on a weekly basis. 602 Crate Sportsman Modifieds will be included in the weekly racing action. Track officials will be meeting with drivers in the former Renegade and Mini Mod divisions to discuss their alignment for next season.

        "I think it's imperative that we bring the 358's back," Walker noted. "The fans love them and a number of the 358 teams, old and new, have been in contact with us with the rumors out there."

        Airborne Park Speedway Media Director, Robby Knowles, had been receiving calls all weekend long inquiring about the potential change for next season. All those inquiries were positive and hopeful that the rumors were true.

        In addition to the calls, Airborne drivers at the end of this season were extremely supportive about the possible switch and were committed to changing their setups over for the following season.

        Talks with sponsors have already gotten underway for next season. The response and support has been extremely positive and has great momentum moving forward.

"Some sponsors have already renewed and increased their commitment in response to this decision," Walked added. "Our sponsor's input was vital in this decision."

When Airborne first opened back in 1954, the track had a dirt surface. Since that time, the track has changed from dirt to asphalt, back to dirt, only to go back to asphalt in 1990. The last 26 years have been spent as an asphalt track and now a new chapter will begin with the surface change.
